ENABLING/DISABLING MIDI MASTER CHANNELS

The Rodgers 835 reserves several MIDI channels for recording and playback of the organ
using a MIDI sequencer. One channel is reserved for each division as follows:
Great Master Channel
Swell Master Channel
Pedal Master Channel
The organ sends and receives MIDI information on these channels unless they are
disabled. It may be necessary to disable one or more Master Channels when using the organ
console as a MIDI keyboard controller in multi-track or multi-layer sequencing to avoid
duplicating note data on multiple tracks.
 ENABLING OR DISABLING A MIDI MASTER CHANNEL:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, and turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) to
"MIDI MASTER CHANNEL".
Place the cursor on the division name field ("GT", "SW" or "PED".).
2.
3. Rotate the Alpha Dial until the desired selection is displayed.
4. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) to move the cursor to the channel status
field ("OFF", "RCV ONLY", "SEND ONLY", "SEND & RCV").
5. Rotate the Alpha Dial to set the Master Channel status for this selection. Note:
Turning a manual's Master Channel off prevents the organ from sending or
receiving notes or expression on that channel.
6. Press General Cancel to exit.
When sequencing or controlling another Rodgers console from the Rodgers 835, stop
selections are normally transmitted and received using MIDI System Exclusive messages.
This allows the stops selected during sequencing to play back accurately.
If desired, the organ stops may be controlled using MIDI Program Changes rather than
System Exclusive messages. These Program Changes will control the organ pistons rather
than the individual stops. The System Exclusive method normally offers the optimum control
over registration, since it does not require the organ pistons to be set up beforehand. The use
of piston Program Changes for stop control is most useful when controlling a Rodgers organ
from a remote MIDI keyboard or when controlling a second Rodgers console other than a
Rodgers 835 via MIDI.
The MIDI Stop Change menu item allows the organist to control the transmission and
reception of System Exclusive (SysEx) Stop Control messages and Piston Program Change
messages. Settings in this menu are saved when the organ is turned off.
