To all who answered my call for help, THANK YOU!!!
Great suggestions that now that I think of each situation, they should work.
Noel, I appreciate your offering as well, but I had already thought of the
situation with the Send Only command at the console. I trued it the other
way (Send and Receive) and what happens, is then when I go to play the
anthem accompaniment (which 99% of the time is only PR and no organ), the PR
then goes to play the last voice pallette sound used in the ORCH section of
the great.
This has been a big problem, and I had finally resorted to shutting down the
i557 and PR and rebooting each time. The problem for me is that the choir
sings immediately after the Gloria Patri. So its "Amen", shut down both,
reboot both, cue up anthem (which now about song # 36 on the disk), go to
the choir area, and begin, hoping no one fell asleep in the mean time.
Now if I could just find away to keep the once-in-a-while cypher from
playing (yes, I am on version 4. Took care of that already!). Also, I am
un-satisfied with the trems on that organ. Anyone know if they are coming
out with a version that beefs up the trems? There is no way I or anyone at
the church can come close to affording the Hector sound fonts for theatre
organ.
Thanks again everyone. Noel, this is a great list! Keep it up!
Keith Gramlich
