MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
The Rodgers 702 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"ChannelReassigmnent."
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).

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 flash-
ing 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:
