ATTN Clay and others...I must reiterate my previous comments, i.e., this
whole business apparently depends on the particular model and/or serial
number of the organ.  On my 835B, pushing Set and Cancel or Cancel and Set
does nothing.  IF I have dialed up an audio setting or a MIDI setting on the
console display, made changes to those settings and want to save them as new
defaults (so they won't be lost when I shut off the organ), then I must hold
Set AND hold Cancel for a few seconds while in an audio or MIDI menu...then
I'll get a display that reads "Audio Control Settings Saved" or "All MIDI
Settings Saved."

None of this has to do with Voice Palette.  If your instrument has Voice
Palette, it has it whether or not you're also hooked up to a PR300/PR300S or
any other sound module.  Voice Palette sounds do not come from the module,
they are internal to the organ.  They are not MIDI sounds nor MIDI-related.
You do not need any MIDI device to generate Voice Palette stops or change
them or put them on pistons.  They have nothing to do with MIDI A or MIDI B
couplers/buttons.  Resetting MIDI changes or module changes does not cause
the Voice Palette stops to reset to "as labeled."  Popping a disk into the
module doesn't reset anything, except maybe the module.  Try disconnecting
your module...you'll still have Voice Palette stops...and they must still be
reset by some method short of turning the organ off and rebooting.  Maybe on
some models the Set/Cancel or Cancel/Set method works, whether or not you
have a module connected...I suspect this applies to Trillium series organs
only.

Maybe one of our Rodgers' staff "lurkers" can enlighten us...please?
Thanks!
