An overview
The organ cabinetry
The organ cabinet consists of the console shell, music-rack, pedalboard and bench.
Our standard organ cabinet is designed in dark or light oak with solid wood panels.
Your organ may be custom-ordered in another finish, color or wood.
The console
Typically, the console consists of two or three manuals and several accessories.
The keyboards have a church organ touch and are normally designed with synthetic key
surfaces. You may custom-order wooden keys. For more information, read “The console in
detail”.
The music rack
The music rack is typically not yet installed at the time of delivery. You can insert the music rack
into the groove provided on the top panel of the organ cabinet.
The roll-top
The wooden roll-top cover is provided with a lock and key. The lock is placed behind the musicrack on the top of the organ.
Open the organ in the following way:
1. Put the key in the lock.
2. Rotate the key a quarter turn; the lock moves upwards.
3. Push the roll-top upwards.
Lock the organ in the following way:
1. Make certain that you have the key handy (see warning).
2. Pull at the roll-top toward you.
3. Push in the cover-lock.
Warning
You can lock the organ without using the key. However, the key is necessary to open the organ.
Therefore, always take care that the key is not left within the console before depressing the lock.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
2
The pedalboard
Typically, AGO (American Guild of Organists) organs have a 32-note AGO pedalboard.
The pedalboard is removable. At the front of each pedal key is a magnet. This magnet normally
sits in close proximity to a reed switch, which is invisibly mounted behind the black painted front
panel at the bottom of the console. When you depress a pedal key, the reed switch is activated
by the magnet at the end of the key.
Your new organ has lighting above the pedalboard which is switched on and off automatically
with the organ.
The following points are important for installing the pedalboard:
1. Make sure that the surface under the console in combination with the pedalboard is flat.
2. For the best alignment of the pedalboard, it may be necessary to adjust the console height
slightly while positioning the pedalboard.
3. Shift the pedalboard against the black painted front panel as close as possible.
The organ bench
Your organ is provided with a bench that contains a music shelf. If you wish, you can order an
adjustable-height bench.

Set up
Connecting the organ
Pay close attention to the following points when you connect the organ:
1. Check the main voltage before you connect the organ. This voltage must be the voltage as
printed on the serial numberplate located on the left side under the keyboards.
2. Connect the organ to a grounded outlet. When this is not possible there is a chance some
functions will not work properly.
Switching on he organ
Switch on the organ by depressing the main power switch located on the right side of the
keyboards. The red pilot lamp will light up as soon as the organ is switched on. It takes a few
seconds before all controls are working. The computer circuit needs this time to initialize.
The display of the organ (located on the right side next to the keyboards) will show the figure
1.
Also the ‘0' thumb pistons will light up. (On the Opus 5 AGO, the SET piston will light up too.)

Accessories
The following accessories are standard:
! Couplers
! Tremulants
! Tremolo
! Chorus
! Intonation 2
! MIDI-stops
Couplers
All couplers are full unison couplers. This means all depressed keys are coupled.
Choir - Great (only for Opus 30 AGO)
This coupler couples the Choir to the Great. When playing keys on the Great, the corresponding
keys on the Choir will be played as well. This way you can add all stops of the Choir to the
Great.
Swell - Great
This coupler couples the Swell to the Great. When playing keys on the Great, the corresponding
keys on the Swell will be played as well. This way you can add all stops of the Swell to the
Great.
Swell - Choir (Only for Opus 30 AGO)
This coupler couples the Swell to the Choir. When playing keys on the Choir, the corresponding
keys on the Swell will be played as well. This way you can add all stops of the Swell to the
Choir.
Choir - Pedal (Only for Opus 30 AGO)
This coupler couples the Choir to the Pedal. When playing keys on the Pedal, the corresponding
keys on the Choir will be played as well. This way you can add all stops of the Choir to the
Pedal.
Great - Pedal
This coupler couples the Great to the Pedal. When playing keys on the Pedal, the corresponding
keys on the Great will be played as well. This way you can add all stops of the Great to the
Pedal.
Swell - Pedal
This coupler couples the Swell to the Pedal. When playing keys on the Pedal, the corresponding
keys on the Swell will be played as well. This way you can add all stops of the Swell to the
Pedal.
Tremulants
The tremulants are meant to vibrate the sound of the organ especially with slow or soft music.
Every division has its own independent tremulant.
When you use couplers and/or the CF piston the tremulants will be coupled to the corresponding
keyboards.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
8
Tremolo (optional)
The Gospel Organ stop has it’s own independent tremolo. This special stop belongs to the swell
division (Opus 5/10/20 AGO) or to the choir division (Opus 30 AGO).
When you use couplers (and/or the CF piston on the Sweelinck 5/10/20 AGO) the Gospel Organ
Tremolo will be coupled to the corresponding keyboards.
Chorus
To avoid the organ sounding too sterile, the instrument is designed with various stops tuned
differently in relation to each other. These small differences give the organ a broader, more
lively character. Switching on this stop will intensify the difference in tuning between the various
voices.
Intonation 2
Intonation determines the sound of the organ. In pipe organ-building the voicing is a very
important part of the building process. Every stop will be adjusted note by note to the room
where the organ is installed.
Your organ has two intonations, a romantic and a baroque intonation. In general a romantic
organ is wider and sounds symphonic, while a baroque organ is brighter and more tightly tuned.
Also see under “Choice of temperament”.
MIDI-tabs
The programmable MIDI-tabs are a special group of accessories. See under “MIDI applications”
and "Programmable MIDI".
Display
A so-called 7-segment display is located on the right side next to the keyboards. This display
has several functions:
When the PGM thumb piston is not switched on the display will show the chosen memory group
of the capture system. Also see under “Using free combinations (capture system)”.
When the PGM thumb piston is switched on, the display will show the required data for
programming the MIDI-tabs. See under "Programmable MIDI".
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
9
Stops
The stops are on so-called tab stops. These are switches that will come back in their middle
position after being switched on or off. Therefore, in every tab a light will light up when that stop
is switched on. These stop lights also work with the use of presets and free combinations.
The last stop of each group is a MIDI-stop. For the use of these stops see chapter “MIDI
applications”.
On a pipe organ you switch a rank of pipes on or off with the stops. By varying the combinations
of stops the organist can create dynamic and colorful changes. This means that some
knowledge of the traditional pipe organ is necessary to make good stop combinations. You
should know a little bit about the different sounds of the different organ stops. That is why we
give a brief explanation about these different kinds of organ stops.
In the appendices you will find extensive examples of registrations.
Organ pipes can be divided in two main groups:
! Flues
! Reeds
Flue pipes
Flue pipes occur in two versions: open or (half) stopped. An example of a half-stopped pipe is
the Rohrflute. On the canister-stopper a small open tube has been soldered. An example of an
open flue pipe is the Principal. Normally the pipes of this stop are located in the facade of a pipe
organ. Flues can be subdivided in the following categories:
Principals
Principals are the Principal, Octave, Twelfth, Superoctave, Mixture, Scharff, Cymbal,
Rauschpfeife and Sesquialter. The last 5 stops sound with more than one pipe of different pitch
together per note. So called multi rank stops.
Strings
These are the narrow scaled, open flue pipes like: Viola di gamba, Vox Celeste and Salicional.
Flutes
Flute stops, open as well as stopped, are made of metal or wood. For example: Stopped Flute,
Gedackt, Bourdon, Subbass, Nazard, Waldflute, Gemshorn and Rohrflute.
Reeds
In a reed pipe the wind is blown into the pipe bringing a reed into resonance. This resonance
is ‘amplified’ and ‘colored’ by a tube (resonator). Reeds with a conical resonator are: Bombarde,
Trumpet, Schalmei, etc. The group of cylindrical resonators are: Fagotto, Cromorne,
Krummhorn, etc. The following reeds have a short resonator: Regal, Vox Humana, Ranket, etc.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS

Special voices (optional)
Except the characteristic pipe organ voices, the organ also has four special voices.
Although these special voices are no standard pipe organ voices, nevertheless they can be
seen as an enrichment of your organ.
On the Opus 5/10/20 AGO, the Chimes, the Harpsichord, the Strings and the Gospel Organ are
added to the Swell division.
On the Opus 30 AGO, the Chimes, the Harpsichord, the Strings and the Gospel Organ are
added to the Choir division.
Overview of stops per type
You will find an overview of stops per organ in the appendix under examples of registrations.
Next to the stopnames you normally find the length, e.g. 8'. This means that the body of this pipe
for the lowest C key is 8' (appr. 240 cm). A stop with 16' sounds one octave lower.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
11
Volume adjustment
The volume is adjustable in the following ways:
VOLUME control
With the VOLUME control you adjust the General Volume, independent of the position of the
expression pedals. Therefore, this control has influence on each keyboard.
Expression pedal Great + Pedal
With the left expression pedal you adjust the Great and Pedal volume at the same time.
Expression pedal Swell + Choir
With the right expression pedal you adjust the volume of the Swell and Choir at the same time
(the last part for Opus 30 AGO only).
Both expression pedals work independently of the position of the VOLUME control.
Thumb pistons
The thumb pistons are switches that after being switched on or off remain in the same position.
Therefore, every thumb piston has a light built in that lights as soon as it is switched on.
WM = Werckmeister
By pushing this piston you choose for the Werckmeister temperament. See under chapter
“Choice of temperament”. As soon as you switch on this temperament the Meantone
temperament will be switched off automatically in case it was on.
By pushing the WM thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.
MT = Meantone
By pushing this piston you choose for the Meantone temperament. See under chapter “Choice
of temperament”. As soon as you switch on this temperament the Meantone temperament will
be switched off automatically in case it was on.
By pushing the MT thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.
MB = Manual Bass
By pushing this piston the pedal will be coupled to the Great keyboard automatically. When you
play a chord on the Great, the lowest key of this chord will be coupled from the Pedal to the
Great. By pushing the MB thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.
CF = Cantus Firmus
By pushing this piston the Swell will be coupled to the Great keyboard. When you play a chord
on the Great, the highest key of this chord will be coupled from the Swell to the Great. This way
the effect of an automatic solo can be achieved. In case the Swell to Great coupler is already
in use the CF function has no effect. By pushing the CF thumb piston again its function will be
switched off again.
FA = Fix Accessories (Freeze Accessories)
When you use the couplers and tremulants in the fixed combinations (presets) or in the free
combinations (capture system) or by using the thumb piston “0" (cancel) these will change too.
You can avoid this by using the FA thumb piston. As long as this piston is switched on, you can
only switch the couplers and tremulants on or off by hand. By pushing the FA thumb piston
again its function will be switched off again.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
12
SET
A thumb piston to program:
! Free combinations (see under “Using free combinations”).
! MIDI-tabs.
1 thru 8
Thumb pistons to store a personal registration into the capture memory by giving these
registrations a number (1 thru 8) within a memory level (bank). These thumb pistons you need
again to call these stored registrations from the capture memory. See under chapter “Using the
free combinations”.
- and +
Thumb pistons with which you:
! Choose a Memory level (bank 1 thru 4). (See under “Using free combinations”.)
! Choose an expander module patch/voice number and a channel number (see under
“Programmable MIDI”).
PGM = Program General Crescendo
Piston that enables you:
! To change the stop combinations of the General Crescendo. See under “Using the General
crescendo”.
! To program a MIDI-tab. See under “Programmable MIDI”.
PP thru T
The fixed combinations (presets) are registrations, preset according to musical standards,
starting by PP (Pianissimo: very soft) thru T (Tutti: full organ).
The Tutti piston has two functions. When you play a stop combination chosen by yourself or
from the presets (PP thru F) the T piston calls the full organ: the normal function of this piston.
However, when you push the T once more you will recall the previous registration.
These presets have been fixed in the factory and cannot be changed by the user.
When you push one of the preset pistons the factory programmed stops will light up accordingly.
It is always possible to switch stops on or off by hand.
0
The 0 piston (cancel/undo) can be found at the far right under the lowest keyboard.The 0 piston
on the organ is duplicated. The 0-piston is also located to the right of the “T" piston.
The piston has two functions. It may happen that you switch on a preset or add a stop by hand
by mistake. By pushing the “0" once quicky you will undo the latest change.
Example
You play the registration of Flute 8', Flute 4', and Flute 2'. After some time you add the Principal
8' and Principal 4'. There is always a very short time between switching on the Principal 8' and
the Principal 4'. By pushing the 0 piston briefly only the Principal 4' will be switched off (undo the
last change). Not the Principal 8' as well as the Principal 4' will be switched off (according to the
organist this would be his last change). Actually the organ sees the Flute 8', Flute 4', Flute 2' and
the Principal 8' as the previous registration and the organist the combination Flute 8', Flute 4',
and Flute 2' as the last one.
When pushing the “0" piston longer all stops will be switched off at once. Exceptions are: the
couplers and the tremulants when the FA piston is switched on and the stops Chorus, Intonation
2 and the MIDI.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
13
RO = reeds off
Located to the far right of the presets is the RO (Reeds Off) thumb piston. By pushing this piston
all reeds will be switched off at once. As long as the RO piston is switched on no reeds can be
switched on. By pushing the RO thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.
S/S = All swells to swell
The S/S piston may be a custom-ordered piston for the Sweelinck 30 AGO. Pushing this piston
will couple all expression pedals to the swell division expression pedal. This enables you to
adjust the volume of the entire organ with only one expression pedal.
Controls
PITCH
With this control you can adjust the temperament of the organ in quarter steps.
This control has a central position indication, which means that, when turning, you can feel this
control click in this central position. This central position is meant to tune the organ (with the
TRANSPOSER control on position 0) on A=440 Hz
TRANSPOSER
With this control it is possible to transpone the organ. This means that the organ can be
transposed 1, 2 or 3 set half steps lower or higher. When the position of the control is 0, the
standard pitch for the organ is A=440 Hz, on the condition that the PITCH control is in central
position.
When using the TRANSPOSER in combination with the PITCH control it is possible to adjust
the organ 3 half steps higher or lower.
.
ACOUSTICS
The build-in digital acoustics provide a spacial reverberation of the organ sound. With this ontrol
the volume of the reverberation can be adjusted. To completely switch off the reverberations you
turn the control to the left.
Memory lock
MEMORY LOCK
To save your registrations or to modify stored registrations, this switch must be switched on. See
chapter “Using free combinations”.
Toe Studs
The organ have the following Toe Pistons/Studs:
COUPLER pistons
With these toe studs you can control couplers. When a coupler is switched off, you can switch
it on with the toe studs. Reverse is also possible.
TUTTI piston
This toe stud has the same function as the T thumb piston of the fixed combinations.
CAPTURE pistons (Except with Opus 5 AGO)
These toe studs have the same function as the memory pistons 1 thru 8.

External connections
The following external conceptions are located left under the console:
MIDI IN
To receive MIDI-codes from the other instruments.
MIDI MOD.
Programmable MIDI-output. This MIDI-output is programmable for optimal use of e.g. an Sound
expander module.
MIDI SEQ.
Non-programmable MIDI-output. This MIDI-output is sending a constant data-output with all (for
e.g. a sequencer) required information (data dump).
When using our personal voicing software INTONAT you should use the MIDI SEQ output to
send data to the computer. (In fact, a data dump too).
AUX IN
This input can be used to amplify the sound of an external device through the speakers of the
organ. E.g., it is possible to play the sound of an expander module that is controlled by the
organ’s MIDI out through the organ’s speakers.
The volume of the device that is connected to the AUX IN cannot be adjusted by the expression
pedals or the VOLUME control (except external devices that are controlled by the organ’s MIDI
OUT).
AUX OUT
This output is meant to connect an external stereo amplifier.

EXT. REV.
The connection EXTERN REVERB is specifically for the JOHANNUS external surround
acoustics device. This system, that works with 4 independent loudspeaker boxes in the room,
creates a realistic acoustical impression of a concert hall, church or cathedral. It is not

This is the connection for a stereo headphone and suited for up to 2000 ohm.
Using a low impedance headphone (e.g. 8 ohm) may give a too loud a volume. This can be
regulated with the VOLUME control.
When using a headphone the organ loudspeakers will be automatically switched off. All
loudspeaker channels will be divided stereophonically through the two headphone channels.

Choice of temperament
The temperament is the way the different notes within an octave are tuned. This has been
changed through the ages, depending on taste, different instruments and new instruments.
On this JOHANNUS organ you may choose from 3 different temperaments:
! Equal temperament
! Werckmeister III temperament
! Meantone temperament
Equal temperament
Today the most widely used and accepted temperament is the “equal temperament”. This is a
tuning where all 12 quints have been undertuned and all tierces have been overtuned to keep
the octave pure. Equal temperament is standard on the Johannus organ. In addition you have
a choice out of a Romantic voicing and a Baroque voicing. On an instrument with Equal
temperament you may play in any key.
Werckmeister III temperament
Andreas Werckmeister introduced his tuning approximately in 1691 in Germany. Within this
temperament the often used tierces are more or less pure tuned. Every key has his own specific
character. This effect has been used extensively in the baroque age and even after that. Johann
Mattheson writes in 1713 that e.g. f-flat is used to express a resigned, deep and desperate
agony. According to him C major is impertinent, but not unsuitable to also express feelings of
joy. This temperament is recommended with “intonation 2".
Meantone temperament
In Meantone the often used tierces are tuned pure. E.g. c-e, d-f#, etc. Because the tierces in
chords with quints and tierces are determining the purity of a chord we experience these pure
chords as very restful. Playing a chromatic scale it appears there are clear differences between
the half steps. It is impossible to play pure sounding chords on the a#, f#, g# and b in a
Meantone temperament.
This Meantone temperament was in use until appr. 1650. Music from this period of time is based
on this temperament. Because all the half steps the chromatical parts of the music sounds
violent. This possibility has often been used to create special feelings among the listeners. The
more false the chords, the deeper the emotion.
From the period of time of appr. 1550-1650 there are many examples where also the less pure
chords have been used for expressive purposes. Composers that lived and worked then were
e.g. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621).
In fact this music needs a Meantone temperament to give it an extra dimension. In our modern
equal temperament this music sounds accentless and the true dimension gets lost. This
Meantime temperament sounds best with the “intonation 2" switched on.

Using free combinations (capture system)
What are free combinations?
Free combinations are a special kind of presets. The combination of stops in presets are fixed.
With free combinations you are able to store your choice of stop combinations into the memory
and recall them when needed. This, of course, is especially helpful when many different
registrations occur in a piece of music. It makes the help of assistants redundant.
The memory of free combinations is protected so that is cannot be erased when you switch off
the organ or when you unplug the organ from the main power.
The capture system consists of the following:
! Key switch MEMORY LOCK
! Thumb pistons - and + (except with Opus 5 AGO)
! Display
! Thumb piston SET
! Thumb pistons 1 thru 8 (Opus 5 AGO: thumb pistons 1 thru 7)
With the capture system you can program 32 personal registrations per division (divisionals) as
well as for the entire organ (generals). These registrations can be recalled at any time. The
generals as well as the divisionals have four memory banks to be chosen with the pistons - and
+. Every memory bank can store 8 combinations, accessible by the pistons 1 thru 8. On every
setter location you may store a personal registration. Only the accessories Chorus and
Intonation 2 cannot be stored in the capture system.
The divisionals are not standard, but may be custom-ordered for the OPUS 5/10/20 AGO.
On the Opus 5 AGO you can store 7 personal registrations.
How to set free combinations
A free combination is programmed as follows:
1. First check if the PGM pistons is not switched on. This to avoid modifying a programmed
MIDI stop.
2. Make the memory accessible by turning the MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the right. The
SET piston will light up to indicate the memory can be accessed.
3. Choose the registration you want to store in the capture system.
4. Choose a memory bank (e.g. memory bank M2) by pushing one or more times on the - or
+ piston until the display shows the correct memory bank (in this example 2).
5. Push on SET (keep on pushing) and choose the memory number (e.g. piston number 3 of
the Great division). On the display you will see the letter P to indicate that the registration is
programmed in the capture.
6. First release the piston for the memory number (in this example number 3) and then the SET
piston.

JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
18
7. Close the memory by turning the key switch MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the left and
remove, if necessary, the key from the switch. The light in the SET piston will go off to
indicate that the memory is not accessible anymore.
8. Write the programmed combination (e.g. M2-3GR) in your music paper where you want to
use it.
The personal registration has now been stored in memory bank 2 in number 3 of the great
division.
On the Opus 5 AGO a free combination is programmed as follows:
1. Choose the registration you want to store in the capture system.
2. Push on SET (keep on pushing) and choose the memory number (e.g. piston number 3).
3. First release the piston for the memory number (in this example number 3) and then the SET
piston.
The personal registration has now been stored in memory number 3.
Recalling the free combinations
To recall the personal registrations it is not necessary to make the capture system accessible
with the key switch MEMORY LOCK. Recalling goes as follows:
1. Determine the setter combination you want to recall (e.g. M2-3SW).
2. Choose the memory bank with the - and + pistons (e.g. M2). The memory bank shows up in
the display.
3. Then choose the memory number (e.g. push piston 3 of the swell division).
In the registration you recalled you may add or remove stops by hand,
On the Opus 5 AGO the recalling of a personal registration goes as follows:
1. Determine the setter combination you want to recall (e.g. 3).
2. Choose the memory number (e.g. 3).

Using the General Crescendo
With the general crescendo you can add stops from very soft (pianissimo) till full organ (Tutti).
The 10 steps are preset according to musical standards.
The general crescendo always has priority above the manual registration, fixed combination or
free combination. Also the stops switched on by the general crescendo cannot be canceled by
the 0 piston. Within a stops combination of the general crescendo it is possible to add extra
stops. Reeds which have been switched on by the general crescendo can be switched off by
the RO (Reeds Off) switch.
The standard stop combination of each step within the general crescendo cannot be changed
by the user.

MIDI applications
What is MIDI?
MIDI is the abbreviation of Musical Instruments Digital Interface. With MIDI different musical
instruments can be connected with each other or a computer. For example, it is possible to play
on your organ and at the same time on a synthesizer or an expander module. The MIDI
standard is partly based on hardware. Next to that it is a worldwide agreement about the way
music and sound are being interpreted and communicated between devices that have MIDI
capability. The MIDI codes sent by a Johannus organ tell e.g. which key is played.
MIDI consists of the following parts:
! MIDI-connections (MIDI IN, MIDI MOD., MIDI SEQ.).
! MIDI-stops
! A device (e.g. synthesizer) that you want to connect through MIDI
! Connection cables
The MIDI-stops are the last in the group of stops of the Pedal, Great, Swell and Choir (only for
Opus 30).
The MIDI stops have a number. The MIDI number for Great on the OPUS 5, 10 and 20 is
number 1 (for Opus 30 the MIDI Great is number 2). This number indicates the MIDI channel
used to transfer key information through MIDI SEQ. when playing the Great. MIDI has at least
16 channel to transfer data. The MIDI stops determine from which keyboard(s) you send key
information to other device(s).
How and what to connect?
Imagine you want to connect 3 expanders to your organ. One you want to play from the Great,
the other from the Swell and the third from the Pedal.
The following has to be done:
1. Connect the expanders with the MIDI cables (DIN).
2. Switch on MIDI stop Great 1. The expander must be configured so that it can only receive
data through the channel programmed to MIDI stop Great 1 (see under "Programmable
MIDI").
3. Switch on MIDI Swell 2. Set the second expander for the channel programmed to MIDI stop
Swell 2.
4. Switch on MIDI stop Pedal 3. Set the third expander for the channel programmed to MIDI
stop Pedal 3.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
21
Programmable MIDI
Programmable MIDI allows you to access an expander module voice/patch (1-128) through one
of the channels (1-16) by switching on a MIDI stop. (MIDI Great 1; MIDI Swell 2; MIDI Pedal
3 etc.).
E.g. when the MIDI stop MIDI Great 1 is programmed to expander module voice/patch number
7, channel 15, and MIDI stop Great 1 is switched on, the key data will be transferred through
channel 15 and expander module voice/patch 7 can be heard when playing.
The memory is protected so that it can not be erased when you switch off the organ or when you
unplug the organ from the main power.
Program MIDI manually
Items to programming the MIDI stops are:
! Key switch MEMORY LOCK
! Thumb pistons – and +
! Display
! Piston SET
! Piston PGM
! MIDI-stops
A MIDI stop can be programmed as follows:
1. First push one of the 0 pistons or one of the preset pistons. This to be sure that you don’t
change a MIDI stop that was already programmed in the capture.
2. Make the memory accessable by turning the MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the right (not
applicable on Opus 5 AGO). The SET piston will light up to indicate the memory can be
accessed.
3. Switch on the MIDI stop you want to program (e.g. Swell 2).
4. Push the PGM piston. The display will show the actual (last programmed) channel number
(in this example the channel number of the accesory MIDI SWELL 2).
5. Choose, by pushing one or more times on the - or the + piston, the channel you want to
assign to the MIDI stop. The channel (1 thru 16) will show up in the display.
6. Push SET when you selected the right channel (e.g. channel 6). The selected channel has
been assigned now to the MIDI stop.
The display will reflect the actual patch number directly after depressing (and releasing) the
SET piston.
7. Now you can choose the module voice you want to assign to the MIDI stop, by pressing once
or more times the minus or plus piston. The module voice (e.g. 40) will show up in the
display.
User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO
JOHANNUSJOHANNUS
22
The selected patch number (1-128) will be reflected as follows:
1-99 will appear normally as 1 - 99 .
100 to 128 will appear as 0.0 - 2.8 .
The dot between the two digits is indicates the third digit (the hundreds).
8. Push SET when you selected the right module voice (e.g. patch 40). To indicate that the
selected channel and module voice are being programmed a P will show up in the display
as long as you push SET.
9. The MIDI stop MIDI Swell 2 now has been programmed with channel 7, module voice 40.
This means that switching on MIDI Swell 2 while playing the swell, key data will be
transferred over channel 6 to the module and that module voice 40 will be switched on.
10. Close the memory by turning the key switch MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the left and
eventually remove the key from the switch (not applicable on Opus 5 AGO). The light in the
SET piston will go off to indicate that the memory is not accessable anymore.
11. Switch off the PGM by pushing it again.
Program MIDI into capture system
In fact this means storing a module voice into the capture system of the organ, possibly in
combination with some other normal organ voices.
A MIDI-stop can be programmed in the memory as follows:
1. Make the memory accessable by turning the MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the right (not
applicable on O. The SET piston will light up to indicate the memory can be accessed.
2. Switch on the MIDI-stop that has to be programmed (E.g. MIDI Swell 2) together (when
desired) with other stops that you want to store into the capture system.
3. First store this registration in the chosen free combination (see under “Using free
combinations). This can be a free combination from the generals as from the divisionals.
Note: 1. If you don’t store the chosen module registration in the capture memory first, the
programmed manual registration of this MIDI stop will be changed unintentionally.
2. Concerning the divisionals (separates) you can only program MIDI-stops into the
accompanying divisions. For example, you can only program MIDI Swell 2 into the
Swell divisionals and not into e.g. Great divisionals.
4. Push the PGM piston. The display will show the actual (last programmed) channel number
(in this example the channel number of the accesory MIDI SWELL 2).
5. Choose, by pushing one or more times on the - or the + piston, the channel you want to
assign to the MIDI stop. The channel (1 thru 16) will show up in the display.

6. Push SET when you selected the right channel (e.g. channel 7). The selected channel has
been assigned now to the MIDI stop.
The display will reflect the actual patch number directly after depressing (and releasing) the
SET piston.
7. Now you can choose the module voice you want to assign to the MIDI stop, by pressing once
or more times the minus or plus piston. The module voice (e.g. 41) will show up in the
display.
8. Push SET when you selected the right module voice (e.g. patch 41). To indicate that the
selected channel and module voice are being programmed a P will show up in the display
as long as you push SET.
9. The MIDI stop MIDI Swell 2 now has been programmed with channel 7, module voice 41.
This means that recalling the concerning free combination the key data from the Swell is
transmitted through channel 7 to the external module while module voice (patch) 41 is
switched on.
10. Close the memory by turning the key switch MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the left and
eventually remove the key from the switch (not applicable on Opus 5 AGO). The light in the
SET piston will go off to indicate that the memory is not accessable anymore.
11. Switch off the PGM by pushing it again.
Using the capture system you can assign one MIDI-stop to serveral channels/module voice
(patches). E.g. an Opus 30 with expanded capture system may have 65 different settings per
MIDI stop. (1x manual setting, 32 general settings and 32 separate settings). The entire organ
can handle 4 x 65 = 260 different settings.
When programming more than one MIDI stop (with or without a combination with normal organ
voices) in one free combination you should start with the lowest numbered MIDI stop.
Program e.g. MIDI-Great 1, MIDI Swell 2 and MIDI Pedal 3 in one free combination as follows:
1. Switch on the three MIDI switches (upon wish including other organ stops).
2. First store this registration into the free combination of your choice. (see under ‘Using free
combinations’).
3. Push the PGM piston.
4. Choose the channel for MIDI Great 1 (the MIDI with the lowest number) by using the - and
+ pistons.
5. Push the SET piston.
6. Choose the module voice (patch) for MIDI Great 1 by using the - and + pistons.
7. Push the SET piston. The setting for MIDI Great 1 is programmed now.
8. Switch off the MIDI Great 1 stop.
9. Choose the channel for MIDI Swell 2 (now the MIDI with the lowest number) by using the and + pistons.

10. Push the SET piston.
11. Choose the module voice (patch) for MIDI Swell 2 by using the - and + pistons.
12. Push the SET piston. The setting for MIDI Swell 2 is programmed now.
13. Switch off the MIDI Swell 2 stop.
14. Choose the channel for MIDI Pedal 3 (now the MIDI with the lowest number) by using the and + pistons.
15. Push the SET piston.
16. Choose the module voice (patch) for MIDI Pedal 3 by using the - and + pistons.

External Loudspeaker system
The organ can be extended with an external loudspeaker system, for example a pipe facade with
several speaker boxes behind it. At the back side (or kept internally) is an connector (octal
socket). With a special cable you connect the loudspeaker system to the instrument. In that case
there will be a 3-position switch on the instrument too.
The 8 pins of the octal socket are connected as follows:
Number Channel Organ model
1 Ground (–) ch. 1 Opus
2 Signal (+) ch. 1 5,10,20,30
3 Ground (–) ch. 2 Opus
4 Signal (+) ch. 2 5,10,20,30
5 Ground (–) ch. 3 Opus
6 Signal (+) ch. 3 5,10,20,30
7 Ground (–) ch. 4 Opus
8 Signal (+) ch. 4 10,20,30
3-position switch
This switch enables you to choose between loudspeakers in the organ and the external
loudspeakers.
The switch has the following positions:
Position A
The organ sound comes from the loudspeakers in the organ console and not from the external
loudspeakers.
Position AB
The organ sound comes from the loudspeakers in the organ console as well as from the external
loudspeakers. However, the sound from the loudspeakers in the organ console is softer than the
A-position.
Position B
The organ sound comes from the external speakers and not from the console
speakers.

Maintenance
The console consists of wooden veneer and solid wooden parts.
To clean the cabinet use a normal duster or a light wet cloth or chamois and polish with a dry
cloth.
We do not recommend furniture- or teak oil, because it may be harmful for the lacquer. Direct
sunlight may change the color of the cabinet, especially light oak consoles.
The keys can be treated the same as the woodwork. Little scratches that may originate from
playing can be removed with car polish. NEVER try to remove spots with aggressive liquors like
thinner, acetone, etc. These will irrevocably damage the instrument.
Guarantee
With the purchase of your JOHANNUS Organ you received a limited warrantee card.
Please read the conditions carefully and send the bottom part to JOHANNUS Orgelbouw b.v. in
Ede as soon as possible. Again we want to emphasize that modifications on the organ or
incompetent handling will end the warrantee.
