Classic Keyboards™ organs
Rodgers PDI™organs and Classic Keyboards™ organs are
able
to
use any
of
the 16
MIDI
channels to control MIDI devices
such
as
the PR-300. Because the
PR-300
is
set
to receive
on
channels 1-10, however, these will
be
the channels used for a
Multi-Track Recording.
The
sounds
of
the
Rodgers
organ
can also
be
sequenced
using the following MIDI channels:

The
Rodgers
PDITM
and
Classic
Keyboards™
organs
normally send
and
receive
on
these
channels
(called "Master
Channels").
For
example,
if
notes
are
pressed
on
the
Great
manual,
MIDI
information
is
generated
on
MIDI
channel
12,
even
if
no
stops are drawn.
Likewise,
if
the organ receives MIDI information on these
channels, the corresponding division
of
the organ will play.
A Multi-Track Recording can use a combination
of
the PR-
300
and
organ
stops; the
MIDI
channel
used
will
determine
which instrument plays.
If
you want
to
build a sequence which uses both the PR-300
and a
PDJTM
organ,
it
is
best
to
record the organ
part
last. The
next example will show you how
to
do
this.
If, for
some
reason, the organ
part
can't
be
recorded
last,
follow the example "When the
Organ
Can't be Recorded Last".
Preparing the Organ for Multi-Track Recording
Your Rodgers organ is normally set to perform a single-pass
recording, as is covered earlier in this manual. In order to record
a Multi-Track Sequence, there are a few things which need to
be
done
to
the Rodgers organ before recording can take place.
Please refer to the Owner's Manual for your particular organ
if
you're not sure how to carry
out
the following procedures.
To
prepare the organ for Multi-Track recording:
(1)
Turn
ofT
the Master Channels for the Great and
Pedal divisions of the organ.
This tells the organ to
only
send information for the
MIDI
couplers
when
notes
are
pressed
or
the
Great/Pedal expression pedal is moved. This way,
only MIDI information for the PR-300 voices will
be
recorded.
