2. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right). The cursor moves to the Variation Field (“VAR”) in
the menu.
Note: The variation numbers for sounds in the MIDI sound module are listed in the
sound module instrument chart(s) provided with the sound module.
3. To choose the desired Variation (bank) number, rotate the Alpha Dial until the correct
variation number is displayed. Variation 0 is the normal General MIDI bank. OFF may also
be selected to prevent a MIDI coupler piston from sending Bank Select messages.
4. Select a Program Change number, or return to the Transposer menu by pressing the MIDI
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 which 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. The MIDI coupler piston settings can
be saved at any time using the MIDI Save procedure. The saved settings are retained when the organ is
turned off.
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.
Note: A MIDI Save may be performed to save a MIDI setting as the default. Please
refer to the “MIDI Save” section.
