[rodgersorgan] Re: Computer Connectivity and the Rogers Organ


Rod,
If your computer has a USB port, then go with a USB MIDIman or Roland UM-1.
If it does not have a USB port, then you can add a USB PCMIA card, or use a 
Parallel (Printer port) version of the MIDIman or UM-1.
The advantage of the USB port is that it can be "hot swapped" but the printer 
port cannot.
Regards,
Ed

I have recently aquired a 2nd hand lap top computer, with the intention of 
connecting the organ to it so as (initially) create files to listen to me 
playing other that at the organ seat, so that I can walk around the church, 
listen to volume, registrations etc.

At home I have a midi keyboard connected to my PC and am quite familiar with 
what can be done back and forth. However being a 2nd hand lap top (maybe I did 
the wrong thing) it came without a manual.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to make the Laptop work with the 
organ with midi conectivity (Rogers 525 and it has midi ports) - I notice some 
ports (edge connectors I think they are) which are very small on the right of 
the Laptop. I also have Cakewalk but on my PC I use it in conjunction with my 
Keyboard and the Soundblaster card. There is no Soundblaster or soundcard on 
the Laptop (that I am aware of) so I am not sure about connectivity. If anyone 
could advice on cables - connectivity - possibly programs if Cakewalk is not 
the answer. And anything else that can be of help.

Thank you to all in anticipation, I am probably bound to have other questions

Best wishes to all
