“most two-manual artist midi files will work on other two and three-manual
Artist organs…. and some will even work well on Infinity organs too.”
They won’t play on the Classic and Roland Series organs?
This is not full compatibility - and all the wonderful midi files of Hector
Olivera, Jonas Nordwall, Donna Parker and other luminaries of Rodgers heritage
will not play on them.
They would play on all PDI organs.
This would be easy to solve. Dieter is right, a comprehensive standard MIDI
library of organ stop assignments in the industry woudl be great, but doubtful
- very, very few digital oprgans are customized, so a standard simple ID system
of yearws ago would serve that vbast numebr of non-customized organs.
Rodgers US needs to rethink MIDI and implement it to master the playing field
once again and be leaders in the field.
