[rodgersorgan] Re: Update from a silent list reader



I've recently purchased an XV series synth to go with my Rodgers, and have
been busy creating organ voices on the XV. If anyone else on the list has XV
stop recipies they would like to share, please let me know. I've done a few
dozen stops so far, including several very nice short reeds, a sesquialtera,
cornet, tertian, celeste, and many more (and of course, the 32' stops, which
come out really nice). Most recent additions are a tuba major and state
trumpet (the wife and kids were out of the house while I tweaked and fiddled
those). Hardest things have been a good 8' principal and some of the full
length reeds (posaune 16, for example). I've come close, but they're not
quite there yet.

I've only begun to master the power of the editing software for the XV, and
would love to share what I've found and learn from others. It'e been fun so
far. The flexibility in creating 'performances' that map the patches to MIDI
channels has been very nice - I can create a performance to fit the needs of
a particular piece, and exploit the wonderful MIDI implementation of the
Rodgers - it is really tops. The two instruments make a powerful combination
indeed.

Best regards.

Hi, I had joined a while back, don't even remember how long ago. I am on 
the organ committee for my church. We have a 5 rank Wicks that we have 
been exploring expansion options on. I have heard Dan Miller play a 
Rodgers 957 in Turlock California. I even attended the organist workshop 
there that he put on. I enjoyed that. Anyways, the organ has not been 
expanded. I have tried to make my case for a Rodgers with the pipes 
added to it. I think the best we will be doing is midifying the console 
and bringing the rank count to 11 or 19...not sure which. But I am 
afraid that making the console midi without speakers available for the 
midi additions is probably what will be happening. Maybe I will 
introduce them to a few XV-5080s and the MC-80ex.
(I own a few Roland music instruments).
