MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
The Rodgers 595 features velocity-sensing keyboards and possesses some
of
the most advanced
MIDI capabilities in the world. MIDI voices are activated via three
MIDI
coupler tilt tabs. The MIDI
channels these coupler tilt tabs control are:
Great Channel
Swell Channel
Pedal Channel
1*
2
3
MIDI
ON
GREAT
MIDI
ON
SWELL
MIDI
ON
PEDAL
May be changed to any
of
the sixteen
MIDI
channels.
To
change this channel, see "Channel ReassigrunenL"
SENDING A PROGRAM CHANGE
1.
Hold SET and press the bottom
of
a MIDI coupler tilt tab. The tilt tab will flash,
indicating the MIDI
Set Mode is active. Release
SET
and the MIDI coupler.
2. Choose the desired Program Change (sound), and press the corresponding key (see the
Program Change chart).

LOWC-lllGHC

PEDAL

If
SET is held while pressing a key to send a Program Change, the Program Change will be sent,
but the MIDI
Set Mode will be "locked on." Once this happens, further Program Changes may
be sent by holding
SET and pressing a corresponding key. This allows the organist to
try
several
sound selections until the appropriate one is found. The MIDI
Set Mode will remain active until
the flashing MIDI coupler
or
General Cancel is pressed.
Once a Program Change has been sent on a MIDI coupler, that same Program Change will be
sent each time the tilt tab
is
activated. The Program Change will also be saved
on
any combination
piston including that MIDI coupler.
VELOCITY INFORMATION
As a default, the Great and Swell MIDI channels send detected velocity messages. The harder a
key is played, the louder the MIDI sound will be. The
Pedal always sends a fixed velocity.
It is possible to have the Great
or
Swell MIDI coupler send a fixed velocity message.
To
change
the Great
or
Swell MIDI coupler from detected velocity to fixed velocity:
