Now, where he ever got the idea to have an octave of reverse-color keys at
the lower end of the manuals, and use them as "presets" (in synthesizer
lingo), or "rank couplers" (these originally had labels with names that at
least sounded familiar to organists), is anybody's guess. (Of course, pipe
organs don't have true vibrato, or percussive sounds, either.)
I have always thought that was brilliant... There is so much in the design of
the Hammond organ which is genius. George
