Maybe time for clarification...many pre-Trillium Rodgers organs have Voice
Palette, too. I think this depends on the particular model, whether it has
a B or other suffix in the model number, and also its serial number...my
835B (pre-Trillium) has 20 Voice Palette stops, two of them make three
different sounds, the rest make two. Those in the market for a used Rodgers
should bear this in mind...it doesn't have to be a Trillium to have Voice
Palette.
Now regarding resetting these stops to their "as labeled" sounds...maybe
this depends on the model/serial number, too. My owners manual is no help
here, strangely silent. Noel Jones/Dan Miller says hold Cancel and push
Set...my dealer says the opposite, hold Set and push Cancel. The owners
manual DOES say to hold Set, then push AND HOLD Cancel for a few seconds IF
you are in an audio menu AND you want to save your audio settings so they
won't revert to whatever when you shut off the organ. (Audio settings are
things like reverb, inputs, outputs, volume, etc., has nothing to do with
Voice Palette.)
Alternate/Plan B Reset Method...suggested by my dealer and Noel Jones
previously, I think... make sure all your Voice Palette stops are set "as
labeled," then put them on a General piston. Avoids having to hold and
push two buttons, one will do...also enables rapid reset if necessary during
performance...hit that piston, everything resets, then pull stops manually
or hit another piston, bing bing.
