Note:
The Allen Organ uses MIDI Program Change Zero as a message for "MIDI OFF."
Important!
MIDI Program Change 1 corresponds to the General MIDI sound "Acoustic
Grand Piano." Some MIDI devices do not use MIDI Program Change Zero as MIDI
OFF. Consequently, Program Change Zero, (“- - -“
in the window
) when sent from the
organ, will correspond to Program Change 1 on those MIDI devices, MIDI Program
Change 1 will correspond to MIDI Program Change 2, etc. You must understand how
the connected MIDI device responds to MIDI program changes to know which program
change numbers to assign to a General piston to be able to get a selected voice on a given
MIDI device. Refer to the specific MIDI device’s owner’s manual for more information
about MIDI program change response.
4. Assigning MIDI Program Changes to Organ Pistons
This function allows the organist to select any voice on an external MIDI device by
pressing any General piston on the organ. The "USER" program change mode must be
selected
(See Section C-2)
.
Advance to the 'MIDI PROG CHANGE' window function
(see Section A-2)
.
For this example press the General Piston 2. The display will change to:
The LCD will display the piston pressed and the MIDI program number being
transmitted by that piston.
To change the value transmitted, press the
CURSOR
button to position the cursor on the
program change number value. Turn the
ROTARY DIAL
to change the program
number value. Any program number of (1-128) may be selected. (
See Section C-1).
Note:
Once a MIDI program change number is assigned to a piston, that program
number will remain assigned to that piston even if the organ has been turned off.
Important!
Once MIDI program change programming is complete the organist must
exit the piston programming window function, by using the
SET
and
CANCEL
pistons
(see Section A-2)
, for any changes to take effect.
