Hi all: I have seen numerous references to Alesis midiverb and would like
to know more about it.I imagine that it adds reververation to an organ,
but that's all I know.Can anyone explain?

Jerry, the schematic came through just fine, and will definitely look into
the after market one you suggested.Thanx a lot! I read with interest the
posts about midifying. I was in contact with Sound research, and they told
me that they didn't make modules for my organ. Is this just true of the
750, all Rodgers, or are they just giving me wrong information. I believe
that they said it would be extremely complicated because of multiplex
keying, or some such.I have no knowledge of electronics at all.My husband
knows the basics from his Navy training years ago.

Hello Karen,
Do you have somebody that could take the schematic and "stuff" the
compontents into the unloaded board?
If not, I suggest buying an "after market" reversible board. Syndyne
makes one that I would be happy to get for you. They are very straight
forward to install and get working on just about any Rodgers console.
Here is a link to the reversible board:

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Jerry Akers

I have a similar request: does anyone have the schematic for the
zimbelstern that was an option for the 750BE. There is a thumb piston for
it which I assume is an on/off switch. Rodgers does not offer this anymore
and suggested that I call a local Rodgers dealer to see if they could
help.I probably will have to do this anyway.My husband was able to get the
volume at a reasonable level, it is far from perfect and needs a
professional's touch. If the zimbel. has a board, my husband could
probably put it together, but installing it is another matter, with all
the talk of keyers and the like.

Greetings to the list,
I have run into a problem. My 340 uses a non-standard board for the Post
Horn. By non-standard I mean it's not the one shown in the service manual.
On this organ they used a ROC2405A board. It has space for (and populated)
73 keyers. The "red Book" modification manual for my organ shows the parts
layout as well as the populating lists but no schematic. If anyone has a
schematic for the "keyer' on that board I would greatly appreciate a copy.
All I need is one of the keyers, I really hate to sit down and draw it
from the board. I have been told that it is the board used for the
"Festival Trumpet" but I have no idea what organ(s) it was used in.
Kindest regards
Frank Evans

Hi again, Jerry. My husband looked at the schematic and he said that it is
for thed reversable circuit only, not the schematic for the sound module.
The link that you gave me is also for combiation actiona and such, not for
"sounds".Do you know of anyone that is making aftermarket stop circuit
boards \for analog organs?

Hello Karen,
Here is a Cymbelstern reversible circuit from Rodgers. This is from a 205
Model, but should be exactly the same for the 750BE that you have. Please
let me know if you get this image OK - I did a cut & paste and sometimes
that image doesn't make it through the mail.

Hi Karen,
I'm not going to comment specifically on what "they" told you.
But, I have "MIDI-fied" many an analog Rodgers and they are extremely
easy to do. I personally like the Syndyne boards. You're welcome to
call me on the phone and we can chat about it if you'd like. Let me
know and I'll give YOU my phone number.
Best regards,
Jerry Akers

Dear Jerry,
I have a Rodgers 145 Alexandria which has the "time-share keying
circuitry."
Have you ever midi-fied a Rodgers with that circuitry? Sound Research
says
they can do it by building special circuitry--and I trust Vern Jones
expertise. However, I'm wondering if you have another approach and could
share it. I would love to be able to bring MIDI to this organ. Thanks.

Hi Karen,
I'm just a little confused as to what you are looking for. Do you want
to add addition stops? I was thinking that you wanted to add MIDI.
If you're wanting to add MIDI, Rodgers offers nothing for that - you
have to do you own. The Syndyne link that I thought I sent was a board
that could easily be integrated into your Rodgers console to add MIDI.
You need one board for each keyboard you want to add MIDI to.
It's not like you're going to find something "plug-in" on the market.
Best regards,
Jerry

Here's the link for the Syndyne MIDI board:

All you really need is a positve DC voltage input for each note on the
keyboard.

Hello All,
The time shared Rodgers organs do not have DC keying from the manuals,
but have multiplexed keying, called time shared keying. Not the easiest
to adapt for MIDI.
