RODGERS PERSONAL MEMORY CARD
This exclusive feature provides the ability to store all registrations in multiple 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 that maintains the
contents of the card memory for several years. If more than one organist has access to the
console, The Personal Memory Card is a valuable resource.
The display for this function appears only if a Personal Memory Card is inserted in the slot. After
inserting the card, turn the Select knob to move between selections in this display and turn the
Alpha dial to change the value in a selection.
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. Switch the Personal Memory Card to the “Protect” position and insert it firmly in the slot
with the label side up and the arrow pointing toward the slot.
2. Now slide the Memory Card’s switch to the right to disable the “Protect” mode.
If the Personal Memory Card is being used for the first time, a message appears in the Console
Display asking if the card should be initialized for use.
3. To initialize the Personal Memory Card, press and release the SET piston.
This initialization process stores a small amount of information on the card that 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.
4. Select the desired memory level by pressing pistons M1, M2, M3 or M4.
5. Set any piston in the normal manner by holding SET, then pressing a combination piston.
6. To save internal memory settings to your Personal Memory Card without changing any piston
settings, press a piston to recall its combination, then hold SET, and press the same 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 is now 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 existing on the card replace
the corresponding instrument console internal memory, which is temporarily suspended.
•
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 to be able to set pistons in a console internal memory level.
