Up until the Trillium Series, Rodgers used a standard MIDI ID system, so that a
MIDI file recorded on one organ would play on any other Rodgers.
It appears that the idea of customizing stoplists gave someone the idea that
this would no longer work.
If they had asked the users of the organs they would heavily have voted to make
the stop positions reflect the STOP ID, not the wave shapes assigned to it…so
an 8’ Principal Family stop on the GT would always be XXX, no matter what the
name of it was or the stop wave shapes assigned to it.
If the Rodgers organ was a French organ that stop would play a Montre 8’.
On another Rodgers organ it would play a German Principal.
Currently MIDI files recorded by organists from prior years often trigger a 16’
on the Great, one of the least-used stops on the organ, muddying up the sound
tremendously.
Sharing midi files throughout the Rodgers community was enjoyed by many and not
available right now.
Could we please have standard MIDI ID’s back along with all stops being PDI
standard - give an option to vary this ihf you must, but let’s start them all
as PDF insted of having it a hard-to-access option in advanced voicing menus
available to techs?
Private owners, always be nice to your tech. She/he can be VERY helpful with
isues like this.
