4 OPERATION
4.1 Volume controls
Organ: You can adjust the volume of the organ with the ORGAN volume control.
Cathedral: The reverb volume can be adjusted smoothly with the CATHEDRAL
volume control.
4.2 Expression pedals
The organ has two expression pedals. One is configured as a swell pedal for the Swell, and one is configured as a crescendo pedal. With use of the Johannus Menu, the function of the expression pedals can be changed, see § 5.5 Expression Pedals.
Using an expression pedal which is set as a swell pedal will next to the volume also changes the timbre of the stops. By this the effect of the swell box shutters of a pipe organ is simulated.
4.3 Adaptive Surround Reverb ASR 12
The ASR 12 reverb system produces a digital acoustic effect. This effect provides a spatial reproduction of the organ sound that can be adjusted continuously.
Turn the volume control CATHEDRAL to adjust the reverb volume.
The reverb length can be set using the Johannus Menu. See § 5.10 Reverb Settings. The length can be set for each intonation style.
The following 12 reverb types can be selected for each intonation style in the Johannus Menu:
Abbey Church Basilica City Cathedral Concert Hall Hill Church Marble Church Marble Room Music Room Palace Hall Royal Auditorium Town Church Village Chapel
See § 5.10 Reverb Settings for assigning a reverb to an intonation style.
14
4.4 Intonations
The organ has 12 intonations, divided in four styles: Romantic (ROM), Symphonic (SYM), Baroque (BAR) and Historic (HIS) and three variation per style: Standard, Solo (SOLO) and Trio (TRIO).
Select an intonation style by pressing the ROM, SYM, BAR or HIS piston. Select an intonation variation by pressing the SOLO or TRIO piston. If no variation piston is selected, Standard is selected automatically.
4.5 Stops
The stops are activated via stop switches, pre-programmed memory locations, capture memory locations or the crescendo pedal. The lamp in the stop switch lights when the associated stop is active.
The stops are divided into three groups:
Pedal: Activates the stops associated with the Pedal. Positif: Activates the stops associated with the Positif (Opus 350 only). Great: Activates the stops associated with the Great. Swell: Activates the stops associated with the Swell.
4.6 Couplers
Manual couplers:
POSITIF - GREAT (Opus 350 only): Fully couples all keys of the Positif to the Great. SWELL - GREAT: Fully couples all keys of the Swell to the Great. SWELL - POSITIF (Opus 350 only): Fully couples all keys of the Swell to the Positif.
Pedal couplers:
POSITIF - PEDAL (Opus 350 only): Fully couples all keys of the Positif to the Pedal. GREAT - PEDAL: Fully couples all keys of the Great to the Pedal. SWELL - PEDAL: Fully couples all keys of the Swell to the Pedal.
Manual Bass (MB):
Couples the Pedal monophonic to the Great. Only the lowest key that is played on the Great is coupled from the Pedal to the Great. If only the lowest key of a chord is released, the pedal key activated by the Manual Bass function is dropped until a new lowest key is played. Activate the Manual Bass with the MB piston.
It is advisable not to use the Manual Bass while playing the pedal board to avoid double bass tones.
15
Cantus Firmus (CF):
Cantus firmus: Latin for ‘fixed voice’ or in organs ‘solo voice’ or ‘melody coupler’. Couples the Swell monophonic to the Great. Only the highest key that is played on the Great is coupled from the Swell to the Great. With use of a solo registration on the Swell in this way a solo is heard while playing only on the Great. If only the highest key of a chord is released, the key activated by the Cantus Firmus function is dropped until a new highest key is played. Activate the Cantus Firmus with the CF piston.
4.7 Accessories
CH: Chorus
Chorus is a function for lightly detuning the organ stops to give it a broader and livelier sound. Use the CH piston to activate the Chorus.
RO: Reeds Off
Reeds off is a function to switch off all reed stops simultaneously. As long as this piston is pressed, no reed stops can be activated. When this function is switched off, the reed stops that were on are activated again. Use the RO piston to activate the Reeds Off function.
S/S: All swells to swell
All Swells to Swell transforms the swell pedal for the Swell to a swell pedal for the whole organ.
0: Recall / Reset function
The 0 piston cancels registration in two ways:
1. A short press on the 0 piston: Only the last change is cancelled.
2. A long press on the 0 piston: All registrations are cancelled.
KT: Keyboard Transfer (Opus 350 only):
Keyboard Transfer is a function to switch the manuals of the Positif and the Great. When Keyboard Transfer is active manual 1 is the Great manual and manual 2 is the Positif manual. Activate the Keyboard Transfer with the KT piston.
4.8 Pre-programmed memory locations
Pre-programmed memory locations are available by operating pistons PP to T and PL. These seven memory locations have factory settings (presets) appropriate for the quiet pianissimo to the loud tutti and the classic plenum.
It is advisable not to use the Cantus Firmus in combination with the coupler SWELL - GREAT because this overrules the solo function of the Cantus Firmus.
If no expression pedal is configured as a swell pedal for the Swell, the S/S piston cannot be activated.

Pitch value 64 (40h) = A = 440Hz. The following applies to the pitch: LSB 100 (64h) 1 (01h) and the MSB 101 (65h) 0(00h). Transposer, with transposer values 56 (38h) - 72 (48h). Transposer value 64 (40h) = a = 440Hz. The following applies to the transposer: LSB 100 (64h) 2 (02H) and the MSB 101 (65h) 0(00h).
Control changes (recognized)
Controller 7 (07h) General volume, with volume values 0 (00h) - 127 (7Fh).
Volume values less than 40 (28h) are treated as 40 (28h).
Controller 11 (0Bh) Expression Pedal, with volume values 0 (00h) - 127 (7Fh).
Volume values less than 55 (37h) are treated as 55 (37h).
Program changes (transmitted/recognized)
Organ stops: Depends on the number of stops and the sequence of stops. MIDI stops (programmable): 1-128. See § 5.8 MIDI Config.
System exclusive messages (transmitted/recognized)
Each ‘sys ex’ (system exclusive) message largely looks the same. The first 7 bytes and the last byte are always the same. Only the value of the 8th byte varies. This
is the ‘sys ex message’ that Johannus generally uses: F0 00 4A 4F 48 41 53 XX F7 (hexadecimal). The ‘sys ex messages’ described below only indicates the value of
the 8th byte (XX) and the output from which it is transmitted.
All stops off
The ‘all stops off’ sys ex code is 7F. This sys ex code is transmitted through the MIDI SEQ. output when the 0 piston is pressed for a longer time. When an ‘all stops off’ sys ex code is received, all stops on the instrument are switched off.
36
Pushbutton values
When a piston is pressed, a sys ex code is transmitted with the value of the piston that is pressed (for example PP = 00 P = 01) through the MIDI MOD. output. These sys ex codes are only important when the Johannus sound module CSM 128 is connected to your instrument.
Other MIDI codes (transmitted)
Press the 0 piston to transmit the sys ex code, ‘all stops off’ and all volume
settings through the MIDI SEQ. output.
