Always connect a sequencer to the Sequencer IN/OUT ports on the organ.
The sequencer must not
be in “Soft Thru” mode.
Any other MIDI instruments or keyboards should use the ports labeled
“MIDI.”
Rodgers Personal Memory Card
This exclusive feature provides the ability to store combination memory levels, Crescendo, Tutti and
other settings in a removable solid-state Personal Memory Card. This credit-card-size device is
convenient to carry and has an internal battery which maintains the contents of the card memory for
several years. If more than one organist has access to the console, Personal Memory Cards are a valuable
resource.
The console Personal Memory Card slot is located in the right panel. To use the Personal Memory
Card for combination memory storage, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the Personal Memory Card firmly in the slot with the label side up and the arrow
pointing toward the slot. If the Personal Memory Card is being used for the first time, a
message will appear in the Console Display asking if the card should be initialized for use.
2. To initialize the Personal Memory Card, press and release the SET piston. This initialization
process stores a small amount of information on the card which makes it recognizable as a
valid Rodgers Personal Memory Card. At this point, the card is ready to be used for
combination memory storage. A newly initialized card contains no combination memories as
yet.
3. Select the desired memory level by pressing pistons M1, M2, M3 or M4.
4. Set any piston by holding SET, then pressing a combination piston. To do this without
changing any piston settings, press a combination piston to recall its combination, then set the
same piston by holding SET, and pressing the combination piston again.
The contents of the entire memory level (
all
pistons) have now been copied to the Personal Memory
Card. Because the card now contains a copy of the currently selected memory, the
card
memory will now
be used instead of the
internal
memory from this point. Setting a piston now affects only the card
memory and not the console internal memory. This is true until a different memory level is selected or
until the Personal Memory Card is removed. It is important to remember the following points:
When a Personal Memory Card is in the slot, any memory levels which exist on the card
replace the corresponding console internal memories, which are temporarily “disconnected”.
Setting any piston while a Personal Memory Card is inserted copies the current memory level
to the Personal Memory Card if it did not already exist on the card. The Personal Memory Card
must be removed in order to be able to set pistons in a console internal memory level.
Whenever a memory select piston (M1, M2, M3, or M4) is pressed, a message appears in the
Console Display indicating whether the internal memory or the Personal Memory Card
memory is being used.
