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

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!
