coupler piston or General Cancel.
The variation selected is saved in combination pistons along with the other MIDI settings.
MIDI Sounds in Combination Pistons
Once a MIDI sound has been set on a MIDI coupler piston, the same program change number is
sent each time the coupler piston is activated. The sound is also saved on any combination
piston that includes that MIDI coupler piston.
Each MIDI coupler piston has a number of associated settings that may be changed in the
console display. These settings along with the MIDI sound can be saved in a combination
piston. Each combination piston may include one or more MIDI coupler pistons.
Saving a MIDI Sound in a Combination Piston
After selecting a MIDI sound on a MIDI coupler piston, this can be saved on a General or
Divisional combination piston for immediate recall.
1.
Select a MIDI sound on a MIDI coupler piston.
2.
Press and hold the SET piston, then press the combination piston where the MIDI sound is to
be saved.
3.
Release both pistons.
Additional MIDI Settings
There are many MIDI settings that can be saved. If the settings are changed and not saved, the
original MIDI settings (default settings) return when the organ is turned off. MIDI settings that
can be changed and saved include MIDI note velocity, octave shift, and MIDI transmit and
receive parameters.
Changes made to MIDI settings are temporary and are lost when the organ is turned off unless
those settings are saved.
MIDI Note Velocity
MIDI note velocity controls the attack quality and loudness of MIDI sounds. To sound
authentic, instruments such as the piano and other percussion instruments require a greater and
more pronounced attack than instruments such as the flute or oboe. The velocity can be
individually selected on each MIDI coupler piston, and these settings can then be saved on
combination pistons. The three types of MIDI note velocity on the Rodgers 790C are Fixed
Velocity, Expression Velocity, and Keyboard Velocity.
Setting Fixed Velocity
The same velocity value is used for all notes of the keyboard or pedalboard, and can be set to any
value from 2 to 127.
1.
Hold the SET piston, then press the MIDI coupler piston. The piston flashes. Release both
pistons.
