MIDI STOP CHANGES
When sequencing or controlling another Rodgers console from the Rodgers 960, stop
selections are normally transmitted and received using MIDI System Exclusive messages. This
allows the stops selected during sequencing
to play back accurately.
If desired, the organ stops may be controlled using MIDI Program Changes rather than
System Exclusive messages. These Program Changes will control the organ pistons rather
than the individual stops. The System Exclusive method normally offers the optimum control
over registration, since it does not require the organ pistons to be set up beforehand. The use
of piston Program Changes for stop control is most useful when controlling a Rodgers organ
from a remote MIDI keyboard or when controlling a second Rodgers console other than a
Rodgers 960 via MIDI.
The MIDI Stop Change menu item allows the organist to control the transmission and
reception
of System Exclusive (SysEx) Stop Control messages and Piston Program Change
messages. Settings
in this menu are saved when the organ is turned off.
Note: Piston Program Change messages are transmitted and received on the organ
Master Channels
and should not be confused with the Program Change messages used to
select sounds from MIDI coupler pistons.
• SELECTING MIDI STOP CHANGE SETTINGS:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, then turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) to
"MIDI STOP CHANGE".
2. Turn the Select Knob to choose "RCV" or "SEND".
