CATHEDRAL CONTROL
The reverberation system is especially designed by JOHANNUS for this
organ.The systeM recreates acoustic properties associated with the
resonance of large buildings and aims to give as wide a level and range of
resonance as possible to enhance the tonal quality of sound produced froM
the organ. To operate, turn the knob marked "Cathedral" and adjust the
rotary control to the desired level. The control effects not only the
length of the reverb. but also the volume of the reverb.
CHORUS TAP
The Chorus Control expands the Multi-generator-system incorporated in the
JOHANNUS organ, which gives the unique rich and varied tone associated.The
effect is best heard if you play on the Great with couplers.
REGISTRATIONS
Registrating is essential to the art of organ playing. You are able to make
countless combinations with the 33 stops of this organ. This is a vital
part of the exciteMent that owing and playing a JOHANNUS will bring you.
Sometimes selecting registrations is not as easy as it May appear; however,
practice and experimentation will provide you with many exciting options.
As there is no unification in the JOHANNUS, t~~ independent sound structure
of each stop enables you to choose the desired combination of stops for
each piece you play. You may use the basic rule; that footages which are
Multiples of each other blend very well together. For example, an 8' with a
4'. You may also wish to choose so called "mutation stops" , such as
Twelfth or Mixture, which are intended to be used in combination with other
stops in order to achieve well-balanced sounds.
TONE GENERATORS
There are three sets of tone generators in
your
organ; one is used for
Great, one for Swell, and one for t~~ Pedal. When you play Great using the
couplers, and select stops frOBlboth manuals and the pedal, you are using
all the generator sets and experience the full potential of sound, your
organ can produce . For instance, an 8' from Great with a 4' from Swell,
sounds better than the combination of an 8' and a 4' frOll\Swell. In other
words, you are making the maximum use of the generator sets. When you find
a combination of stops that particularly appeals to you, make a note of the
stops used.
EXTENSIONS
Your JOHANNUS organ can be enhanced with a JOHANNUS 4-channel acoustic
systell\.You wi11 find a standard output plug connection (DIN) located at
the back of the organ. This plug is meant only for connecting the 4-channel
acoustic system. Your dealer will be happy to give you additional
inforff~tionor den~nstrations.
HEADPHONE SOCKET
This is stereo connection socket and is suitable for use with any low
impedance stereo headphones. When the headphones are plugged in, the
speakers are shut off automaticly.
EXPRESSION PEDAL
This pedal effects not only the total volume of the organ, but also the
sound-colour. When the expression pedal is closed the organ sounds soft and
warm, when you open the expression pedal the organ gets brighter.
CARE OF YOUR JOHANNUS ORGAN
Cabinet work, and pedalboard s~~ld be cleaned with a soft polishi~~ cloth,
