2. Selecting Program Change Modes
Program change modes establish how MIDI program changes are sent from the organ when a
piston is pressed. Once a particular program change mode is selected, the organ will retain
the same program change mode (even when the organ is turned off) until a new program
change mode is selected. These three mode options determine how the organ sends program
change information to MIDI devices.
Selecting a Program Change Mode
To access the Program Change mode function, touch:
OPTIONS >> MIDI >> PROGRAM CHANGE & DISPLAY OPTIONS
Important! It is important to understand how to
operate and when to use each of these modes before
they are changed!
Program Change Modes:
PRESET Mode: This mode causes the organ to send a
program change number equal to the piston number
that is pressed. Preset mode also causes the organ to
transmit the capture memory level value whenever the
capture memory level is changed or whenever the CANCEL piston is pressed. General
Pistons will send program changes 1-10 on MIDI Channel 8, the organ’s General Piston
control channel. The Divisional Pistons for each division will send program changes on the
respective MIDI channels as shown above.
For example, Swell Piston 1 will send Program Change 1 on MIDI Channel 1. Great Piston 2
will send Program Change 2 on MIDI Channel 2, etc.
USER Mode
: In this mode, the organ is capable of sending any program change number on
any piston that will select voices, change banks, or change program “patch” numbers on
another MIDI device. Any MIDI program change number from 1 through 128 can be
assigned to any General or Divisional Piston (blank or no digit may also be selected). Any
MIDI bank switch number between 0 and 127 can be assigned to any Divisional Piston. As in
PRESET mode, General Pistons will send program change information on MIDI Channel 8
and Divisional Pistons will send program change information on their respective MIDI
channels.
Note: The capture memory level value is not transmitted while in USER mode.
NO Mode: With this mode selected, NO program change information is either transmitted or
received.
Display Options: General MIDI Sound Names or Program Numbers
While in PRESET mode, MIDI program changes will only be displayed as MIDI program
change numbers. However, USER mode allows MIDI program changes to be displayed as
either MIDI program change numbers or as General MIDI sound names. This flexibility
allows for simpler programming, especially if the connected MIDI sound module is General
MIDI compatible. Any piston can be programmed to access any General MIDI sound/voice
by selecting and assigning the same name to a piston.
