MIDI connections
There are three MIDI jacks on the 538/i548, labeled
MIDI IN/OUT/THRU . They are located on the
connector panel to the right below the keydesk.
Connect a sequencer (such as the Rodgers MR-200)
to the MIDI IN and OUT sockets on the organ.
Connect its MIDI OUT socket to the 538/i548’s MIDI
IN and the MIDI IN port of the MR-200 to the 538/
i548’s MIDI OUT socket.
The sequencer must not be
in Soft Thru mode .
MIDI Device ID
MIDI Device ID is an identification number used in
System Exclusive Stop Control messages. This ID
number can be used to allow independent control over
multiple organ consoles connected via MIDI or to
facilitate storing multiple sets of registration
information on a sequencer recording.
Normally, the organ both sends and recognizes an ID
number of 17; stop messages with other ID numbers
are ignored. When multiple consoles are controlled via
MIDI, each can use a different ID number, thereby
allowing independent control of each console’s
registration.
The number can be set to 1, or 17 through 32. Setting
the ID to 1 produces Stop Control messages that are
compatible with older Rodgers PDI and C-Series organs.
In most cases, the ID will not need to be changed.
