An “All Notes Off” message will be sent on all 16 MIDI channels from both the SEQ
OUT and MIDI OUT ports of the organ.
Master Channels
Much of the discussion about MIDI so far has dealt with the actions of the MIDI couplers;
those controls which allow you to play the instruments in an external MIDI sound module.
However, the stops and divisions of the Rodgers T797 can also be recorded by a sequencer
and played back, either with or without sounds from an external sound module.
In order to keep the sounds of the organ separate from those of a MIDI sound module, certain
Master Channels have been reserved specifically for the T797. One channel is reserved for
each division:
Great Master Channel 12
Swell Master Channel 13
Pedal Master Channel 14
The organ sends and receives note and volume information on these channels unless they are
disabled. Most likely, the Master Channels will always be enabled in your situation,
however, there are a few unique setups where it might be desirable to suppress the
transmission or reception of information for one or more organ divisions.
When controlling the T797 from an external MIDI keyboard, sending note information from
the keyboard to the organ on a Master Channel will cause the respective keyboard or
pedalboard to play. For example, sending notes on channel 12 will cause the same effect as
playing those identical notes on the Great keyboard.
Enabling or Disabling a MIDI Master Channel
The status of each Master Channel can be set individually using the following procedure.
Available options are:
Send & Receive (the normal mode), Send only , Receive only or
Off (no Send or Receive).
To enable or disable MIDI Send and/or Receive on a Master Channel:
1. Press and release the QUICKMENU piston.
2. Rotate the Select knob to highlight MIDI Settings .
3. Press and release QUICKMENU to select the MIDI Settings category.
All Master Channels can be disabled quickly through the use of the Multitrack
Mode. See page 68 for more information.
