Keyboard Velocity: This setting individually senses the velocity of each note of the

keyboard. There are three sensitivity levels that can be selected.

 SETTING KEYBOARD 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 Keyboard Velocity (“FM KBD”).

4. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to the fourth menu

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

5. Rotate the Alpha Dial to select the desired velocity value (“LIGHT”, “NORMAL”

or “HEAVY”).

6. 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.

The MIDI Note Velocity can be individually set for each MIDI coupler piston. Note: The

MIDI Note Velocity settings do not affect the sampled organ voices.

OCTAVE SHIFT

Normally all MIDI coupler pistons play at standard pitch (middle C = note 60). The

Octave Shift setting can be set to cause any sound on a MIDI coupler piston to play one or two

octaves above or below standard pitch.

 SHIFTING THE OCTAVE OF A MIDI SOUND:

1. Hold the SET piston, and press the MIDI coupler piston.

2. Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to “NORM” on the

second MIDI menu screen.

3. Rotate the Alpha Dial to the desired setting (“UP 2”, “UP 1”, “NORM”, “DN 1” or

“DN 2”).

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.

MIDI CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT

Using the Rodgers 795 as a MIDI keyboard controller for sequencing may require channel

assignment of the MIDI GT A coupler piston. All other MIDI coupler pistons transmit on

fixed channels. To reset the transmit channel of MIDI GT A, perform the following

procedure.
