Keyboards™ Organs; Multi-Track Recording - Rodgers PR-300 Owner's Manual

Parallel Digital Imaging™ organs with Personal Memory Card™
Classic Keyboards™ organs
Rodgers PDI™organs and Classic Keyboards™ organs are
able to use any of the
16
MIDI channels to control MIDI devices
such as the PR-300. Because the PR-300 is set to receive on
channels 1-10, however, these will be the channels used for a
Multi-Track Recording.
The sounds of the Rodgers organ can also be sequenced
using the following MIDI channels:

Great
Swell
Pedal
Positiv
Division (3-4 manual)

Choir
Solo
The Rodgers PDITM and Classic Keyboards™ organs
normally send and receive on these channels (called "Master
Channels"). For example, if notes are pressed on the Great
manual, MIDI information is generated on MIDI channel 12,
even if no stops are drawn.
Likewise, if the organ receives MIDI information on these
channels, the corresponding division of the organ will play.
A Multi-Track Recording can use a combination of the PR-
300 and organ stops; the MIDI channel used will determine
which instrument plays.
If you want
to
build a sequence which uses both the PR-300
and a PDJTM organ, it is best
to
record the organ part last. The
next example will show you how
to
do this.
If, for some reason, the organ part can't be recorded last,
follow the example "When the Organ Can't be Recorded Last".
Preparing the Organ for Multi-Track Recording
Your Rodgers organ is normally set to perform a single-pass
recording, as is covered earlier in this manual. In order to record
a Multi-Track Sequence, there are a few things which need to be
done to the Rodgers organ before recording can take place.
Please refer to the Owner's Manual for your particular organ
if you're not sure how to carry out the following procedures.
To prepare the organ for Multi-Track recording:
(1) Turn ofT the Master Channels for the Great and
Pedal divisions of the organ.
This tells the organ to only send information for the
MIDI couplers when notes are pressed or the
Great/Pedal expression pedal is moved. This way,
only MIDI information for the PR-300 voices will
be recorded.
