Changes made to MIDI settings are temporary and are lost when the organ is turned off

unless those settings are saved. Note: A MIDI Save may be performed to save a MIDI setting

as the default. Please refer to the “MIDI Save” section.

MIDI NOTE VELOCITY

MIDI note velocity controls the attack quality and loudness of MIDI sounds. To sound

authentic, instruments such as the piano and other percussion instruments require a greater

and more pronounced attack than instruments such as the flute or oboe. The velocity can be

individually selected on each MIDI coupler piston, and these settings can then be saved on

combination pistons. The three types of MIDI note velocity on the Rodgers 795 are Fixed

Velocity, Expression Velocity, and Keyboard Velocity.

Fixed Velocity:

The same velocity value is used for all notes of the keyboard or

pedalboard, and can be set to any value from 2 to 127.



SETTING FIXED VELOCITY:

1. Hold the SET piston, then press the MIDI coupler piston. The piston flashes.

Release both pistons.

2. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to the second menu

screen and is positioned in the Velocity field (“VEL”).

3. Rotate the Alpha Dial to select the desired velocity value (2-127).

4. Press either the flashing MIDI coupler piston or General Cancel to exit. Note: A

MIDI Save may be performed to save this setting as the default. Please refer to the

“MIDI Save” section.

Expression Velocity:

This velocity is controlled by the expression shoes and is not

affected by the attack of the keys. The volume (MIDI Main Volume, Control Change #7) is

set to maximum when this setting is in use.

SETTING EXPRESSION VELOCITY:
