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.

OK, so when you say it can play "16 parts" at the same time, does this
mean it can play 16 of the module tones or sounds at the same time on
one midi coupler? 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.

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.

Noel

Specifications say "maximum polyphony =3D 64 voices" does this mean you
could have as much as 64 selections of "tones" playing on say midi A at
the same time?
