Thanks for the quick response. I didn't expect a personal reply but it is appreciated. Will try this this week and will let you know our success. We're "newbies" at MIDI! noel jones <gedeckt@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Welcome! I forget where St. Marks is in Cleveland... Anyhow, to use a MIDI keyboard with the Rodgers you have to find out if it is GM MIDI. To do that, connect the cables out to in and in to out (let's all remember, the normal MIDI path is a circle, midi goes out of one and into the the other) I used to work with an idiot who would connect in to in and out to out and expect it to work. Unfortunately, I couldn't fire the idiot because the idiot was me. Did it just a couple of months ago. To make it even worse the midi voices played softly, so I thought it was plugged in right. Anyhow, once you have it plugged in, press MIDI GT A. It will light up. Then hold SET and press key #1 on the lowest keyboard. Play a chord on the GT. Do you hear Piano? Then, hold SET again and play the highest a-flat on the lowest keyboard. Got Milk? I mean, Trumpet? If so the instrument appeared to be GM and you may be able to access all the GM voices in the keyboard directly from the organ MIDI pistons using the capital tones PR-300 chart which you will find under SUPPORT on our web site. If this does not work, make a chart of what voices you can get by pressing keys on the Rodgers...also email the group and we have a number of members who can help figure out your hookup and voice compatibility. Also, make sure you plug the AUDIO OUT L and R into the ORGAN LINE IN sockers. Sounds much better through the organ than any other system in the house. -- noel jones, aago athens, tennessee, usa 423 887-7594 ------------------------------- frog music press, publishing MIDI music moderator, rodgers organ users group at www.frogmusic.com ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Find new MIDI music and Guides to Rodgers Organs at www.frogmusic.com To post send messages to: rodgersorgan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change mail delivery (digest, vacation) go to www.frogmusic.com/rodgersmem.html ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Find new MIDI music and Guides to Rodgers Organs at www.frogmusic.com To post send messages to: rodgersorgan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change mail delivery (digest, vacation) go to www.frogmusic.com/rodgersmem.html
