To preview tones by name:
1. Hold SET and press the MIDI coupler (it will flash).
2. Release SET and press the flashing MIDI coupler again (it will stop flashing).
3. Rotate the Alpha dial to scroll through the list of available tones. You may
also play on the corresponding keyboard or pedalboard to hear each sound as
it is selected.
Selecting Tones by Number
If desired, you can select tones in external MIDI sound modules by number, rather than
name. Although most people will use the “Selecting Tones by Name” procedure outlined
on page 51 above, in some cases, this procedure might be preferred.
For some organists, this may be faster than scrolling through the list of available tones in
a GS or GM sound module. Also, this is the technique which can be used for non-
GS/GM sound modules. This powerful technique ensures that the T797 can select tones
in any sound module which follows the MIDI standard.
When selecting a tone in an external MIDI sound module, the organ sends up to three
separate MIDI messages, a
Program Change message and one or two Bank Select (or
“variation”) messages. When selecting tones by name, as outlined in the section above,
these messages are generated automatically; when you select an instrument, the
appropriate Program Change and Bank Select messages are sent.
When selecting a tone by number, you select sounds by specifying each of the actual
MIDI messages, the Program Change and the Bank Select message(s), by number.
Before selecting a tone by number, you’ll need to determine the appropriate values for
Program Change and Bank Select by referring to the charts which came with your sound
module.
To select a tone by number:
1. Press and hold SET, then press the MIDI coupler piston to be programmed. It
will begin to flash, indicating it is ready to be programmed and a screen
similar to the following is displayed:
M I D I C o u p l e r G T A
P i a n o 1
P G M M S B L S B
0 0 1 / 0 0 0 O f f
2. To specify Program Change, use the Select knob to highlight PGM and rotate
the Alpha dial to change the value.
