[rodgersorgan] Re: rodgersorgan Digest V1 #92


807 Owner's

I visited a church yesterday where we installed an 807. They have M1 set up for 
traditional services,
no MIDI voices. M2 is set up with the contemporary settings with the Choir and 
string sounds, etc. M3
has the gospel settings with some MIDI as well.

When first using M1 and pistons work as they should and so does the crescendo. 
However, after going
into M2 and playing the choirs and strings and returning to M1 when engaging 
the crescendo pedal the
MIDI voices now sound on the crescendo from M2 & M3.

Has anyone experienced this?
