The Swell division of a particular organ has 8' and 4' speaking stops with a full complement of couplers (subcouplers, unison couplers, and supercouplers). You want a flute chorus of 8', 4', and 2' pitches. Can this be accomplished? If so, how?
1. Pull Swell flutes 8' and 4', and Swell to Swell 16' (the subcoupler).
2. Pull Swell flutes 8' and 4', and Swell to Swell 4' (the supercoupler).
3. Pull Swell flute 4', Swell to Swell 4', and Swell to Swell 16'.
4. Two of the options will yield flutes 8', 4', and 2'.
5. It is not possible.
You like the tone of a 4' Koppelflote on the Swell of a two-manual organ, but you want to use it as though it were an 8' flute. You want the other manual free to set up another registrational combination. What are your options?
1. Pull 4' Koppelflote, then play down an octave.
2. Pull the 4' Koppelflote, the Swell to Swell 16, and the Unison off, then play on the Swell in the normal range.
3. Pull the 4' Koppelflote, the Swell to Great 16, then play on the Great in the normal range.
4. Any one of the above will work.
5. a. or b. only
