Note: When the organ is turned off, this setting is saved.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN TIMER
When the organ is on and left unattended, the power automatically turns off after two hours.
Operating any key, stop, or control resets the timer for another two hours.
Playing the organ from a remote MIDI keyboard or sequencer will also reset the timer.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
Rodgers organs have some of the most advanced MIDI capabilities in the world, offering a great
variety of sound possibilities. These sounds are accessed by the MIDI coupler pistons located on the
piston rails. Two MIDI sounds can be played simultaneously from the Great division and one MIDI sound
each from the Swell and Pedal divisions.
MIDI Channel Assignments
The MIDI coupler pistons control the following MIDI channels:
Great Manual Channel 1* MIDI GT A
Great Manual Channel 5 MIDI GT B
Swell Manual Channel 2 MIDI SW A
Pedal Manual Channel 3 MIDI PED A
* May be changed to any of the sixteen MIDI channels.
Selecting and MIDI Sound
Selecting a MIDI sound is also known as Sending a Program Change:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, then press a MIDI coupler piston. The MIDI coupler piston
flashes, indicating a sound selection can be made. This is called the MIDI Set Mode. The
Console Display reads:
M I D I G T A C H 1
P G M = 1 2 1 V A R = 0
2. Select the desired sound (Program Change) number from the sound module instrument chart(s)
provided with the sound module. Press a key on the Great, Swell or Pedal. Note: Program
Changes 1-61 are sent by the Great keys, Program Changes 62-122 by the Swell keys, and
Program Changes 123-128 by the Pedal notes. Once the key is pressed, the Console Display
returns to “TRANSPOSER 0”.
