Caen cryptic foot levers
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2017 4:31 pm
I may be pushing my welcome here with this longer question, but now that I pretty much finished configuring my Rotterdam organ, I am going on to my other organ, the Caen St. Etienne, and I am pulling out my little remaining hair. It has a bewildering array of foot-operated levers that control sounding of stops. The Sonus site gives a few small hints, like pushing red levers for red stops, and a Cop GO lever for the GO. But they have no explanation of what these are, which is a bit frustrating. Worse, this is just a tiny fraction of the story. Maybe it's my screen, but I see no red foot levers, though there are some yellow and orange. And the labels are terse, like 'P.' (Positif?) and other single letters and French words. It took me a long time of trial and error just to get the Positif to play. This is a ridiculous way for me to proceed, working by random trials, doing things that I don't understand to see what works. Is there any documentation anywhere about what these levers do? What the terse labels mean? If I knew what they are, not only could I work faster but I would understand what I'm doing. Thank you for any help, and I do apologize for such a long question.
