SETTING THE GS VARIATION (BANK NUMBER):
1. Press and hold SET, then press a MIDI coupler piston. The piston flashes,
indicating the MIDI Set Mode is active. The Console Display reads:
M I D I G T A C H 1
P G M = 1 2 1 V A R = 0
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 internal
MIDI sound module are listed in the “Internal Sound Module Instrument Charts”
section.
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 the MIDI coupler piston from sending
Bank Select messages.
4. Select a Program Change number, or return to the Transposer/Tempo 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 it is to be
saved.
3. Release both pistons.
