Hi Folks, I have been following the group for about a month, but have not yet posted. To introduce myself, I am a volunteer "Organ Curator" of the David Ulrich Memorial Organ at Saint Ignatius Loyola Cathedral (RC) in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This involves understanding the organ from a technical standpoint, and making sure everything is A-OK. I will also be substituting for our organist, but have not done so yet. We have a Rodgers custom four manual organ with a PR-300S unit. This is a really max'ed out organ with lots of custom samples. Many of the samples are of the wonderful Ruffatti organ in Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is truly a magnificent example of Rodgers art. Our Director of the Office of Worship, Art, and Environment, who is also the organist, Arthur Nobile, Jr., is equally remarkable. I expect to substitute for him after Christmas, but could never fill his shoes, nor match his incredible keyboard magic! I have a question regarding the PR-300S. When Arthur attempts to record certain extremely dense virtuoso pieces, we get a MIDI Buffer Full message on the PR, and it stops recording. The last time this happened, we had already recorded three separate selections in the internal memory, using the first three tracks. Those selections were moderate in length, and not terribly complex. We lost those selections, and I am not certain whether it was because of the buffer full event that happened while attempting to record a very complex piece on the fourth track, or whether it was something that I did while trying to save the first three tracks to disk after the buffer full event. Honestly, I did not notice if tracks 1 through 3 were still okay before I attempted to save them. I got a "no song" message, and realized they were gone. Has anyone experienced anything like this with their PR-300S? Another question: is there a separate high-speed shift register type buffer that receives incoming MIDI messages rapidly and then moves them to the main memory when it can, or is the "buffer" that the message refers to the main memory itself? I understand that there is an approximate 40k message limit on the memory, but I am trying to figure out if we simply exceeded that limit, or if extended passages of extremely rapid notes could cause the problem even if the memory still has room for the messages (i.e., is it a TIME related or total SPACE related problem). Thanks for any insights you can give. Regardless though, I have really been enjoying this group!
