proper communication is ensured. This is the configuration that should be used in the vast
majority of applications. When set to
Off , the organ does not respond to Start , Stop and
Continue messages; this configuration is reserved for very specific uses and won’t be
applicable to most users.
To recap the actions of the 657/677 when Sequencer Update is set to On : When the Start
message is received, the organ sends current stop, expression, program change and bank
values to the sequencer.
When the Stop message is received, the organ restores its expression values based on the
physical position of the shoes, but stores the last expression value from the sequence in its
internal memory. This avoids any potential conflict between the last expression value on the
sequence and the actual position of the shoes (resulting in a sudden change of volume when a
shoe is touched).
When the Continue message is received, the stored expression value is restored, ensuring that
the sequence continues to play at the correct volume.
Most hardware sequencers (like the Rodgers PR-300S) transmit the Start, Stop and Continue
values automatically unless you manually disable them. Some software sequencers may need
to have the Start/Stop/Continue transmission enabled from within their MIDI configuration
menus.
To turn Sequencer Update On or Off:
1. Press and hold the SET piston.
2. Rotate the Select knob clockwise until SEQ. UPDATE appears in the display.
3. Rotate the Alpha dial to select desired setting ( OFF or ON ).
4. Press General Cancel (‘ 0 ’) to exit.
Setting Velocity Sensitivity
As stated in the “Keyboard Velocity” section on page 41, sounds played from MIDI couplers
can be controlled by velocity-sensitive keyboards, where the strength of a key strike
determines the volume and attack characteristic of a note. In addition to this parameter in the
MIDI coupler settings, there is also a global setting that determines the velocity sensitivity of
the keyboards—how much pressure is needed to achieve a high velocity value.
There are three available velocity curves to choose from:
•
LIGHT : most sensitive—Light keystrokes can achieve a higher than normal velocity.
•
NORMAL : normal sensitivity—a direct relationship between touch and sound result
•
HEAVY : least sensitive—Heavier than normal keystrokes are required to achieve
high velocity values.
These three curves allow you to choose the keyboard response that is most comfortable. This
setting affects all keyboards of the instrument.
The organ reverts to Sequencer Update On when the instrument is powered off.
