Keyboard Velocity:
This setting individually senses the velocity of each note of the keyboard. There
are three sensitivity levels that can be selected.
Setting Keyboard Velocity
1. Hold the SET piston, then press the MIDI coupler piston. The piston flashes. Release both
pistons.
2. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to the second menu screen and
is positioned in the Velocity field (“VEL”).
3. Rotate the Alpha Dial to select Keyboard Velocity (“FM KBD”).
4. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to the fourth menu screen and is
positioned in the Keyboard Velocity field (“KEY VEL”).
5. Rotate the Alpha Dial to select the desired velocity value (“LIGHT”, “NORMAL” or
“HEAVY”).
6. Press either the flashing MIDI coupler piston or General Cancel to exit.
Note: A MIDI Save
may be performed to save this setting as the default. Please refer to the “MIDI Save” section.
The MIDI Note Velocity can be individually set for each MIDI coupler piston.
Note: The MIDI Note
Velocity settings do not affect the sampled organ voices.
OCTAVE SHIFT
Normally all MIDI coupler pistons play at standard pitch (middle C = note 60). The Octave Shift
setting can be set to cause any sound on a MIDI coupler piston to play one or two octaves above or below
standard pitch.
Shifting the Octave of a MIDI Sound
1. Hold the SET piston, and press the MIDI coupler piston.
2. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to “NORM” on the second
MIDI menu screen.
3. Rotate the Alpha Dial to the desired setting (“UP 2”, “UP 1”, “NORM”, “DN 1” or “DN 2”).
4. Press either the flashing MIDI coupler piston or General Cancel to exit.
Note: A MIDI Save
may be performed to save this setting as the default. Please refer to the “MIDI Save” section.
MIDI CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT
Using the Rodgers 805C as a MIDI keyboard controller for sequencing may require channel
assignment of the MIDI GT A coupler piston. All other MIDI coupler pistons transmit on fixed channels.
To reset the transmit channel of MIDI GT A, perform the following procedure.
Assigning MIDI Channels
1. Hold the SET piston, then press MIDI GT A. The coupler piston flashes.
2. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to the channel number.
