MIDI LOCAL CONTROL
When in the “OFF” position, MIDI Local Control allows the organ console to play MIDI sounds only,
disabling the organ voices. When in the “ON” position, the organ will function normally. In the OFF
position, organ voices can still be played by a sequencer or by a remote keyboard connected to the 805C
MIDI IN jack.
Enabling or Disabling MIDI Local Ccontrol
1. Press and hold the SET piston, then turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) to “MIDI LOCAL
CONTROL”.
2. Release SET.
3. Rotate the Alpha Dial to choose “ON” or “OFF”. This selection is temporary. The organ will
always return to MIDI “LOCAL CONTROL ON” when the organ is turned off.
4. Press General Cancel to exit.
MIDI SEQUENCER UPDATE
MIDI Start, Stop and Continue messages generated by a sequencer are accepted by the organ only
when the MIDI Sequencer Update is enabled.
Enabling or Disabling MIDI Sequencer Update
1. Press and hold the SET piston, then turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) to “MIDI
SEQUENCER UPDATE”.
2. Release SET.
3. Rotate the Alpha Dial to choose “ON” or “OFF”. This selection is temporary. The organ will
always return to MIDI “SEQUENCER UPDATE ON” when the organ is turned off.
4. Press General Cancel to exit.
Note: The organ uses the sequencer control messages to automatically record the stop and
expression status at the beginning of a sequence.
MIDI DEVICE ID
MIDI Device ID allows the organist to select the MIDI Device identification number used in System
Exclusive Stop Control messages. Normally, the organ both sends and recognizes an ID number of 17.
Stop Control messages with other ID numbers will be ignored.
This ID number can be changed to allow independent control over multiple organ consoles connected
via MIDI or to facilitate storing multiple sets of registration information on a sequencer recording. The
number can be set to 1, or 17 through 32. Setting the ID to 1 produces Stop Control messages which are
compatible with older Rodgers PDI and
C-Series organs. The ID always returns to 17 when the organ is turned off.
