Rodgers MIDI System Exclusive

Rodgers organs use a subset of the Roland standard
MIDI System Exclusive format.
All Rodgers SysEx packets use the Roland "Data Set"
command, listed under "One Way Transfer Procedure"
in the Roland System Exclusive format specification.
The first five bytes of this type of packet are as follows:
Byte Function
F0H Begin System Exclusive
41H Roland/Rodgers SysEx ID
10H Device ID*
30H Model ID (30 = Generic organ data)
(00 47 = 538/i548 data)
12H Data Set Command
Note: This byte is usually 10H; however, the organ receives 00H~
0FH and can be set to transmit Device ID 00H or transmit and
receive any Device ID between 10H and 1FH.
See the last page of these notes for more information.
This header is then followed by the message body.
The message body contains a subcommand byte, an
optional offset byte and a variable number of data
bytes followed by a checksum byte and a MIDI End
Exclusive byte (F7). The checksum byte value is such
that if all bytes beginning with the subcommand byte
and ending with the checksum byte are added, the
lower 7 bits of the result will be all zeroes.
The following messages are used by Rodgers as of the
introduction of models 538/i548:
