Tone - Rodgers Trillium T967 Owner's Manual

Tone

This parameter selects the instrument (or 'tone') which is heard when the MIDI coupler is
activated and keys are pressed on the appropriate manual or pedalboard.
Tones in external MIDI sound modules can be selected in one of two ways: by name or by
number. Either of these techniques works well, and you may find that you use both
operations from time to time, depending on which is most appropriate and expeditious.
Selecting Tones by Name
When a GS Format or General MIDI ('GM') sound module is connected to the organ,
tones can be selected by name using the console display. For many organists, this is the
preferred method of selecting a tone.
To select a tone by name:
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:
2. Rotate the Alpha dial to select the desired tone. (Off may also be selected to
prevent a MIDI coupler piston from sending any program change
information).
3. Once desired tone is displayed, press the MIDI coupler again (it will stop
flashing).
The tone selection procedure is complete. Combination pistons which are set while
the MIDI coupler is activated will also store the tone selection.
In order to select tones by name, the "tone name" parameter must be set to "GS" or
!
"GM". See "Tone Names" on page 82 for more information.
Previewing Tones by Name
It may be desirable to preview sounds during the selection process by scrolling through
the list of available tones and playing a few notes until you find the desired instrument.
When selecting a tone by name, the preview process can be done from the Console
display.
