MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
Rodgers organs have some of the most advanced MIDI capabilities in the world, offering
a great variety of sound possibilities. In addition to the traditional theatre organ voices on the
organ, there are 654 MIDI sounds (orchestral instruments, tuned percussions, traps and sound
effects) contained in an internal Roland sound module. These sounds are accessed by the
MIDI coupler pistons located on the piston rails. Two MIDI sounds can be played
simultaneously from each manual (Great, Solo, Accompaniment and Pedal).
MIDI sounds are activated by MIDI coupler pistons. These coupler pistons control the
following MIDI channels:
Great Manual Channel 1 MIDI GT A
Great Manual Channel 5 MIDI GT B
Solo Manual Channel 2 MIDI SOLO A
Solo Manual Channel 6 MIDI SOLO B
Acc. Manual Channel 4* MIDI ACC A
Acc. Manual Channel 8 MIDI ACC B
Pedal Manual Channel 3 MIDI PED A
Pedal Manual Channel 7 MIDI PED B
* May be changed to any of the sixteen MIDI channels.

SELECTING A MIDI SOUND:
Selecting a MIDI sound is also known as Sending a Program Change:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, then press a MIDI coupler piston. The MIDI
coupler piston flashes, indicating a sound selection can be made. This is called the
MIDI Set Mode. The Console Display reads:
M I D I G T A C H 1
P G M = 1 2 1 V A R = 0
2. Select the desired sound (Program Change) number from the "Internal Sound
Module Instrument Charts” section. Press a key on the Accompaniment, Great, or
Solo manual.
Note: Program Changes 1-61 are sent by the Accompaniment keys,
Program Changes 62-122 by the Great keys, and Program Changes 123-128 by
the Solo keys
. Once the key is pressed, the Console Display returns to
“TRANSPOSER 0/TEMPO 120”.
