From what I can see on the Tech Site, the 837 can send PGM, LSB, & MSB numbers
so it should work well with the console.
Are you calling up the sounds on the MX using the dials on the box, or are you
calling them up by using Set + Midi A + the keyboard chart in the MX manual ???
The pistons will not recall anything if you are using the dials on the box.

I purchased a MX-200 to replace our failed PR-300. The connection of
it was pretty straight forward. However I'm unable to save any of midi
sounds from the MX-200 to the general pistons. I have two Midi's voices
for each manual, and I can play a Midi voice on any single Midi coupler
piston, but I cannot put multiple midi voices on at the same time. And
as soon as I engage a registration from a general piston the sound
reverts to one of the built-in ones. Also, I cannot save a Midi Voice
onto a general piston. Therefore the MX-200 is usable. I'm pretty sure
I have something set-up incorrectly, but I cannot figure out what it is.
Any advice?
Thanks,

And have you tried connecting to to:
MIDI OUT
or, instead
SEQUENCER OUT
on the organ MIDI Panel.
The MX-200 does not communicate with the organ (jf you have a MIDI OUT or THRU
on the MX-200 connected to the organ, disconnect it)
so the problem would seem to lie with the organ.
How did you PR-300 fail?

The midi in cable that goes to the MX needs to be plugged into the io panel
on the organ (midi out) the Midi out on the Mx needs to be plugged into the
Midi in on the Organ.
There are specific settings that you have to have the midi set up in organ
for the MX-200, remember your organ was previously configured for the PR. I
would advise calling your rep that installed the organ and ask them what
settings need to be changed in the midi menu. There is a specific setting
that lets you select what sound module you are using and there should be a
selection for the MX. Sounds like it is on the pr because that was set up
as general midi and you are now using the MX which is configured
differently.
So call your Rodgers rep tell them what happened and they should be able to
talk you through the change. If not come back here and let us know and I
will contact someone to get the instructions on how to configure the organ
midi window.
As Noel asked, what happened with your PR-300?
Does it turn on? If not did the power cord short out, or were you using a
power supply that plugged into an ac outlite. If the latter the power
supply could be bad, and they are cheap to replace.
Does it make any sound?
Does it play and record?
Does the disc drive work? If you put a disc in the unit does it play it or
just click click click?

We do take contributions of dead & dying PR-300 and PR-300S unions to help use
create a library spare parts for users as Rodgers no longer provides parts or
support for the PR-300.
Any PR you can donate might save the life of another!

Unfortunately, the 837 only sends GM or GS and will not let you select all the
voices from the name in the screen, instead you enter PGM MSB LSB.
But it will responds simple GM commands in the test I put together. Which is
to see of teh organ is playing MIDI properly from its pistons.
