Jack, My guess is that the stops that are out won't go in, either. Pretty sure you have "echo on" in Cakewalk. This is a problem, because you are pulsing those stop motors about 9,000 times a second ... not good for the home team. This is akin to having the "soft thru" in the PR-300 set to ON. On a lighted consle, the lamps just wink and blink, but on a moving console, you will smoke something. Usually, the console locks up on short order also, because the CPU is swamped by MIDI messages "looping" though the organ. Go to "Options" and "Project" and "Midi Input" and turn Echo Mode to "None" Best regards, Ed Jack <netjack@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: We tried to connect a computer to our Rodgers Custom Four Manual the other day to try recording in Cakewalk Express. We ran into problems where the stops could not be changed manually after Cakewalk started (we have the solenoid drawstops, not the lighted ones). If we attempted to draw a stop that was in, it immediately was pulled back in. I believe that it is because of standard setup messages that Cakewalk is sending during setup, and also after playing a track. I can set it up so it does not send those messages (all notes off, pitch bend normal, etc.), but I am reluctant to try it again for fear of causing problems with the organ. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Thanks!
