Thanks for asking, my friend; this post was starting to get very lonely!
Zusatzregister means additional stop/voice. Each division on my German Ahlborn console has a Zusatzregister stop. On the original digital instrument, it gave each division an extra rank selectable by the user, such as another solo reed option on the swell or a 32' in the pedal.
I use it similarly in HW, triggering stops my sample sets without a logical physical equivalent on my console. With Hereford, though, I'm using each manual's Zusatzregister stop to trigger the appropriate couplers to play solo division voices on the three manuals I have.
I'm doing this instead of setting up a floating manual. It seems like a simple solution, but I'm wondering what are the advantages of floating divisions that I'm missing by going this route.
