To change the MIDI Base Channel, touch the CHANNEL button to highlight it, then use the
UP and DOWN buttons to change the MIDI channel value.
Remember, if the Base Channel is set to 2, all of the other MIDI channels will shift higher by
one. Now; Swell = 2, Great = 3, Pedal = 4 and the General Pistons = 9.
Note:
MIDI Channel numbers will wrap, i.e. as MIDI channel numbers only go to 16 and
then repeat to 1.
Selecting High Bank or Low Bank:
To change the Bank value, touch the BANK value button to highlight it, then use the UP and
DOWN buttons to change to use either the LOW or HIGH Bank value.
Note:
Refer to the Bank selection/program number chart in the owner’s manual for the
external MIDI device you are using to be sure you are using a valid Bank number value.

MIDI Expression Settings
There are four modes for transmitting expression data
via MIDI; Poly Volume, Poly Velocity, Swell Volume
and No Expression. To access the MIDI Expression
setting, touch:
OPTIONS >> MIDI >> EXPRESSION
Note:
The default expression mode setting is always
POLY-VOLUME.
MIDI Expression Modes:
POLY-VOLUME —
this is the normal expression mode setting where the expression data is
distributed among the appropriate MIDI channels.
POLY-VELOCITY
— this setting should be selected if you are using a percussion-type
voice from a sound module or an external MIDI keyboard. For example, if a digital piano
sound were played from the organ keyboard through MIDI Channel 1, the piano could be
made to sound more realistic. By opening the Swell expression shoe, the piano strings would
appear to be struck harder than when the Swell pedal was in the closed position.
Important!
This mode setting should only be used if the organ does not contain velocity
sensitive keying.
Note:
In POLY-VELOCITY mode, all expression information is sent in key velocity form.
Changes in velocity will occur only when a new key is struck. Consequently, if you change
the position of the expression pedal after a key is struck there will be no change in velocity
until a new key is struck. Use this mode only when a velocity-sensitive external MIDI device
is connected. If this mode is selected when recording to a sequencer, the expression on the
organ will not function when playing back from the sequencer.
SWELL-VOLUME
— this mode setting causes MIDI expression data to be sent only on the
Swell MIDI channel. Some early sequencers can only interpret one volume message.
NO EXPRESSION
— No MIDI expression (volume) data sent.
