Mark & "jdl": The MX-200 can play one sound (stop) per MIDI channel. It has a rotating switch where you can select one of the 16 MIDI channels and then assign a voice to this particular channel. In other words: It's not possible to play multiple voices from one particular MIDI channel. Using a Trillium or a Rodgers with two MIDI couplers, you can select two MX voices, each responding to a selectable MIDI channel. Using a "Non-Trillium", you can play only one voice per manual/pedal. But I found a way around this limitation by inserting a MIDI Patch Bay/Processor between the organ and the module, which can route a single MIDI channel on the input to multiple MIDI channels on the output (Miditemp PMM-88, a German MIDI accessory manufacturer; I know that J.L.Cooper had a similar device in their catalogue some years ago). With such a device, you can assign multiple sounds to each manual of your organ manual. I just found several MIDI patch bays/processors on the german ebay site, offered at around EUR 200 ($230) and I think this is a valuable investment.

My Rodgers does not have midi A & B, only midi A. I am trying to find out whether the MX-200 allows sounds to be layered or whether I would be limited to one sound per keyboard as in the past. -----Original Message----- From: rodgersorgan-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rodgersorgan-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ebay Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 2:30 PM To: rodgersorgan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [rodgersorganusers] AW: Re: MX-200 The MX-200 features 16 "parts" with a maximum polyphony of "64 notes" (voices). "64 voices" means: The module can play up to 64 single notes simultaniously (example: An 8-note chord with 8 active stops/ sounds would require the maximum polyphony of 64 voices). "16 parts" means: The module can play up to 16 different sounds (organ stops or orchestral voices)at the same time -> one sound per MIDI channel.
