Rodgers MX-200 Owner's Manual

About the Velocity Control Function
The MX-200's organ tones play at a set volume level, regardless of how forcefully the keys are pressed
(Velocity Control: OFF). This is the setting for normal use.
Switching the Velocity Control function on allows you to adjust the volume level so to obtain a balance in
volume between the organ's own tones and the MX-200's organ tones*.
* Tones in the Classic Organ Category (FLUE, REED, MIXTURE, CELESTE, PEDAL, THEATER, ENSEMBLE)
and E.ORGAN Category.
This function applies velocity (which changes the volume in response to the force used to press the keys)
to tones that are not natively velocity-responsive. Use of this function allows you to adjust the volume of
the selected tone using the Rodgers organ coupler function (Velocity Level).

Adjusting the Organ Velocity Level
The following is a description of this procedure using the Rodgers Model 795 organ. The procedure used
for other models is roughly the same.
Before you start, you will need to make the required MIDI coupler settings.
1.
Hold down the organ's [SET] piston and turn the [SELECT] knob to the right to display the following
screen.
MIDI ___
VEL: ___
2.
Turn the organ's [SELECT] knob to move the cursor to "VEL."
3.
Turn the organ's dial to adjust the volume.
The value set here (2–127) is transmitted to the MX-200 as the fixed velocity value used while performing.
4.
Press the organ's CANCEL (0) piston to quit the setting.

_____
As this procedure sets the volume at a fixed, constant level, regardless of the force used in
pressing the keys, the level of expressiveness in the sound is more controlled. Use this
function only when you find you cannot achieve a proper tone balance while performing.
