Tone - Rodgers Allegiant 657 Owner's Manual

The Great MIDI coupler normally sends on MIDI channel 1, however, it can be set to send
on any of the 16 available MIDI channels. All of the channels for other couplers are fixed.
Following are the MIDI coupler tabs and their MIDI channels:
Division
Great
Swell
Pedal
* May be changed to MIDI channels 4-11, 15, 16.
Changing the Great MIDI Channel
Generally, you won't need to reassign the Great MIDI coupler channel to use most MIDI
sound modules. However, there will be times when it is necessary or desirable to send
MIDI information on a channel other than those listed above.
Common applications for changing the Great MIDI coupler channel include accessing
sounds in a module that receives on a channel other than those listed above.
To change the Great ORCH/MIDI coupler channel:
1. Hold the SET piston and press the ORCH/MIDI GREAT tab.
2. Rotate the Select knob clockwise until CHANNEL appears in the display.
3. Rotate the Alpha dial to select the new MIDI channel (1, 4–11, 15, 16).
4. Press either the flashing ORCH/MIDI tab or General Cancel ('0') to exit, or
rotate the Select knob to adjust another MIDI parameter.
The Great MIDI coupler channel assignment can be saved with other settings to a
combination piston. It can also be saved permanently by performing the MIDI Save
procedure. See "MIDI Save" on page 51.

Tone

This parameter selects the instrument (or "tone"), which is heard when the MIDI coupler is
