Dan,
I think I can answer a couple of questions "off the cuff."
1. I believe the SOL responds only to channel # and does not recognize program
number. Therefore, the appropriate sound must be "wheeled in" on the PR-300
alpha dial.
2. Yes. The PR-300 is feeding the aux in... so however you have a particular
division set up (expressed or unexpressed) is how the system will respond. For
example, if great is set to "unexpressed" and you want full expression of the
PR-300 audio, then either you must select "great encolsed" to provide
expression for the aux to great channel, or the aux to great must be disabled
so that expression is controlled by swell only.
3. The reverb parameter can be controlled. The new reverb value must be saved
either to the MIDI piston (a MIDI save) for manual MIDI piston selection, or to
the (general, divisional) piston for combination recall. Thus, when the piston
is again selected, the saved reverb value will be sent to the PR-300. This
reverb value must correspond to the appropriate channel being used by the SOL
voice (reverb is a channel message). For example, the Dulzian on Great B is on
a different MIDI channel than the same voice on Swell A. So if reverb is
changed on Great B, it will not affect the reverb on Swell A.
At least that is how I recall it works.
Best regards,
Ed Wilson

We recently added a PR300S and SOL to our 837. As a newcomer to midi it
is taking me awhile to learn how to use the PR300S in the woship
service. However, at this time I am focusing on how to implement the
SOL
with the organ voices. I have some questions I would like the
discussion group to answer, if possible.
1. When you program the SOL voices with the voices on the organ, will
the SOL voices you have chosen, stay with the piston you have selected?
At this point it does not seem to work the way I though it would. For
example: If Disk 1 is in the PR300S and I choose to use the Gedeckt
voice on the Great (midi A), you must have that voice showing on the
PR300S screen. I was under the impression that if you had the right disk
in the machine the organ would know what voice to use from the floppy.
2. Can one control the volume of the SOL voices using the expression
pedals?
3. I tried to set-up the reverberation on the SOL voices using the midi
set-up controls on the 837. Unforunately, the change is only temporary.
I have followed the instructions in the organ guidebook but it does not
seem to work. I realize that the RSS does not work with the voices on
the PR300S and SOL, however, a little bit of reverberation seems to help
round out the sound of the SOL voices.
I would like to say that many of the SOL voices blend very well with the
organ voices. The variety of voices certainly enhance the sound of the
organ.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dan Clarke
