USING RECORDED AND/OR MODIFIED SONGS WITH DEDICATED SOFTWARE
MIDI files recorded by the internal sequencer can be modified with the most common MIDI editing softwares.
This might prove useful to correct errors of the recording or to generally improve the track. However, we
strongly advice inexperienced users not to do so.
When modifying a MIDI file, please follow these rules:
- Do not modify the tracks channel. If it necessary, respect the internal sequencer channelling. The sections are
channelled as follows:
Pedal: 1
Man.I (3-manual models): 4
Man.II (3-manual models), Man.I (2-manual): 2
Man.III (3-manual), Man.II (2-manual): 3
The internal sequencer also assigns a name to the track while recording, that corresponds to the sections
playing a track. Most computer software can read the track names:
“Pedal” track: Pedal
“Choir” track: Man.I (3-manual models)
“Great” track: Man.II (3-manual), Man.I (2-manual)
“Swell” track: Man.III (3-manual), Man.II (2-manual)
“Volumes” track: divisional volumes and expression pedals
“Stops” track: stops conditions
There are other tracks for internal use and future developments only, that should not be altered.
- Divisional modules are recorded as Control Change 7 events. Expression pedals position as Control Change
11. These Control Change channel are identical to the previous ones.
- The stops settings, together with cancel, enclosed, coupling settings etc. are recorded as Exclusive System. We
advice you not to alter these codes. If you wish to add or remove stops from a recording, you should know its
exclusive system code. To do so, you should monitor the MIDI OUT port of the organ and, switching on
and off a stop, check the MIDI code transmitted. Add or remove this code only from the “Stops” track.
- When saving the MIDI file do not change the resolution of 384 tpqn (tick per quarter note).
The sequencer can also paly non-recorded tracks. Again, keep in mind that:
- The track channelling may not be consistent with the internal sequencer. Reset the channels according to
what described above.
- Stop codes might not be present in a MIDI track. In this case we advice you overdub (see par. 12.2) with the
desired stop combination.
- Divisional volumes and expression pedals may be lacking from a MIDI track. Again, we advice you overdub
the tracks.
