[rodgersorgan] Re: Roland MIDI modules


Actually, most of the Roland MIDI modules will do a fairly good job of 
providing an additional 127 voices for your Rodgers organ.

Even the older models like the PR-100, MT-100, MT-200, MT-80, MT-80S, have 
the good Roland orchestral sounds.

The differences come about when you try to do the "extra" things, like 
setting up presets, recording the voices and organ, etc.

For the purpose of just adding additional orchestral voices, most of the 
Roland MIDI modules will do the job.

These modules do have the advantage of being available for about $100 to 
$300 used.
