MIDI SOUNDS IN COMBINATION PISTONS

Once a MIDI sound has been set on a MIDI coupler piston, the same Program Change
number is sent each time the coupler piston is activated. The sound is also saved on any
combination piston that includes that MIDI coupler piston.
Each MIDI coupler piston has a number of associated settings which may be changed in
the Console Display. These settings along with the MIDI sound can be saved in a
combination piston. Each combination piston may include one or more MIDI coupler pistons.
The MIDI coupler piston settings can be saved at any time using the MIDI Save procedure.
The saved settings are retained when the organ is turned off.

sound is to be saved.
3. Release both pistons.

Changes made to MIDI settings are temporary and are lost when the organ is turned off
unless those settings are saved. Note: A MIDI Save may be performed to save a MIDI setting
as the default. Please refer to the "MIDI Save" section.
