RODGERS PERSONAL MEMORY CARD
I
This feature provides the ability to store combination memory levels, Crescendo sequences, Tutti
and other settings in a removable solid-state Personal Memory Card. This credit-card-sized device is
convenient to carry and has an internal battery which will maintain the contents of the card memory
for several years. If more than one organist has access to the console, Personal Memory Cards are a
valuable resource. When playing a church service or concert, all personal combinations can be
stored in advance.
The console Personal Memory Card slot is located just below the lower manual near the General
Cancel piston. To use the Personal Memory Card for combination memory storage, perform the
following steps:
1. Insert the Personal Memory Card firmly in the slot with the label side up and the arrow
pointing toward the slot. If the Personal Memory Card is being used for the ftrst time, a
message will appear on the console display asking if the card should be initialized for use.
To initialize the Personal Memory Card, press and release the SET piston. This
initialization process stores a small amount of information on the Personal Memory Card
which makes it recognizable as a valid Rodgers Personal Memory Card. At this point, the
card is ready to be used for combination memory storage. A newly initialized card
contains no combination memories as yet. To copy an internal memory to the card,
continue with step 2.
2. Select the desired memory level by pressing a memory select piston.
3. Set any piston by holding SET and pressing a combination piston. To do this without
changing any piston settings, press a combination piston to recall its combination, then set
the same piston by holding SET and pressing the combination piston again.
The contents of the entire memory level (all pistons) have now been copied to the Personal
Memory Card. Because the card now contains a copy of the currently selected memory, the card
memory will now be used instead of the internal memory from this point on. Setting a piston will
now affect only the card memory and not the console internal memory. This will be true until a
different memory level is selected or until the Personal Memory Card is removed. It is important to
remember the following points:
~
When a Personal Memory Card is in the slot, any memory levels which exist on the card
will replace the corresponding console internal memories, which are temporarily
"disconnected."
~
Setting any piston while a Personal Memory Card is inserted will copy the current
memory level to the Personal Memory Card if it did not already exist on the card. The
Personal Memory Card must be removed in order to be able to set pistons in a console
internal memory leveL
