Memory pistons don't work anymore in Prestige IX (1 reply)
Hi Rui,
There is a battery on a board in the organ that kkeps the piston memory alive when the organ is switched off. I expect this battery has failed and needs replacing. Contact you local engineer to fix the problem. Regards Viscount UK
Back to Viscount Organs Forum...
Hello,
After starting the organ, M. Bank went from 1 to 4, or 5 and then an F appeared and no sound could be withdrawn from the organ and neither the instruments switches were working.
After restarting the organ, the instruments switches were already working and the organ was playable (sound could be listen to), however memory pistons didn't work. This is, when pushing 1 2 3 4 or 5 ..., none of the switches were lightened on (none instrument were activated).
Nevertheless, when we use the crescendo pedal, the switches are activated gradually, as usual.
I don't really know if something occurred in the previous days that could lead to this situation, such as energy fail, pedals left on maximum, or something like this.
So, how can I restore the memory pistons to the default?
Thanks in advance
Rui
