List,
Re: Personal Memory Cards
From previous posts, it seems that some members of the list are
associated with the factory. With all due respects to our dealer, who
is also a member, it would be beneficial to be able to replace the
Personal Memory Card reader with an industry standard flash card or
media card reader on existing organs. The flash cards and media cards
are readily available, are a lot less expensive, and can be easily used
to transfer information from a PC to the organ (my pocket PC has slots
for both). Many of us did this when PCs went from 5.25" floppy disks to
3.5" diskettes, and the aftermarket kits made it was pretty straight
forward. Is there some good reason why this can't be done in for
existing organs as well? We just had an organ installed and it came
with the Personal Memory Card reader.
Re: MIDI registrations
I'm reasonably adept and computers and have Cakewalk. I also have not
been able to figure out how to edit SYSEX commands in Cakewalk. I would
like to be able to make some adjustments to the stop combinations in
existing MIDI files. I did find a table of Top SysEx code assignments
in the organ owners manual, but wasn't able to make the conversion. The
information below helps, but it has been a long time since I learned
about coverting from base 10 to binary. From the description below, it
seems that each byte is broken down into something other than eight one
digit bits. Is this supposed to be 4 2 digit binary codes? Even then,
I'm not coming up with the same conversions. Or, am I reading this
wrong?

Anybody got a used Personal Memory Card they would like to sell?
Know of a commercial replacement card that will work?
Reply to me, thanks!

Yes, it can get confusing. I am still looking for your specific decoder
ring, but I can at least share what I can glean from the manual I have.
First, for all of the non-MIDI interested on the list, move on, its
going to get ugly. ;)
Your SYSEX message:
F0 41 10 30 12 01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 10 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 4D F7
is composed of a bunch of parts.
F0 Start SYSEX
41 Manufacturer ID (Roland is 41)
10 Device ID (Rodgers organs by default is 10 - you can change in the
setup menu at the organ if you wish)
30 Model ID (according to my 577 manual "30" is generic organ data "47"
is specific to 577)
12 Send SYSEX (a receive is 11)
01 Offset Byte
Data broken up in bytes (8 bits)
00 00 01 00 byte 1 bit 6 (remember we are offset by 1 so we should start
with 1 note 0)
00 00 00 00 byte 2
00 10 10 00 byte 3 bit 3,5
00 00 00 00 byte 4
00 00 00 00 byte 5
00 00 00 11 byte 6 bit 7,8
00 00 00 00 byte 7
00 00 00 00 byte 8
00 00 00 00 byte 9
4D checksum
F7 End SYSEX
All we have to do is find the decoder ring that shows the stop mapping.
I tried to match this SYSEX message with the list I have for my i577
without much luck. This bothers me a little since I thought all Rodgers
used the same mappings (bigger organs just have more available). But a
pedal Gedeckt 8 on the i577 would be byte 22 bit 4 and you don't have 22
bytes.
Would you mind sending me the file Noel sent you? I will keep looking
for a 790c reference. Perhaps a Rodgers tech has one?
Hang in there, we'll get you going.
