MIDI,
or
Musical
Instrument
DigitalInterface, is
one
of
the
most
excitingfeatures
of
the
Rodgers
ClassicKeyboards™ C-220.
MIDI
is
apowerful,computer-basednetwork
which
allows
musical
instruments
to
communicate
with
one
another.
With
the
advanced
C-220
MIDI
controlsystem,
other
musicalinstruments and effects
can
easily
be
controlled
from
the
C-220
keyboard.
Such
control allows the
musical
resources
of
the
C-220
to
be
combined
with those
of
other
MIDI
instruments.
The
C-220
may
be
controlled
from
otherdevices, such
as
MIDI
keyboards
or
sequencers.
Sounds
of
the
C-220
may
be selected
and
played from another
MIDI
keyboard such as
another
Rodgers
Classic Keyboard™
or
Rodgers
Classic Organ™. Asequencer will allow sounds to
be
pre-recorded
and
layered
for
later
performance.
MIDI
communicates
through
16
differentchannels.
Each
of
thesechannels
can
be
usedto
control
adifferent
sound
or
effect.
By
following
easy
steps
explained
on
the following pages, the
MIDI
channel
may
be seton
which
the C-220sends information, and
on
which channels
it
will receive
infonnation.
The
16
MIDI
channels
operate
like
a16-line
phone
system.
By
setting the
C-220
to
either
send
or
receive
on
acertain
MIDI
channel, it
can
communicate
with
other
devices which are also set
to
send
or
receive
on
the
same
channel.
In
order
to control another
MIDI
device
from
the
C-220,
the sendchannel(s)
of
the
C-220
must
be
the same as
the
receive channel(s)
of
thedevice to
be
controlled. In
order
tocontrol
the
C-
220
from
another
MIDI
device, the send channel(s)
of
that device
must
be
the same at the receive
channel(s)
of
the
C-220.
Most
often,
the
information
sent
down
a
MIDI
channel
is
noteinformationrelating
to
which
notes
need
to
be
played
and
theirdurations.
Other
types
of
informationare alsosent,including
Program
Change
commands
which
select
sounds,
and
Control
Change
commands
which specify volume,
velocity, vibrato, pitch
bend
and
chorus settings.
The
C-220
has
three
MIDI
Modes,
titled
MIDI
Mode
0,1
and 2.
Each
time you turn
the
C-220
on,
it
defaults
to
MIDI
Mode
O.
In
MIDI
Mode
0,theC-
220
willsend
and
receive
on
one
channelwhen
WHOLE
Mode
is
activated.
When
either
SPLIT
or
DUAL
is selected, the
C-220
will send
and
receive
on
two
different
channels.
The
send and receive channel(s)
in
MIDI
Mode
0can
be
set.
MIDI
Mode
1
was
designed
for
use with Intelligent
System
of
Music (ISM) software/published
by
the
Roland
Corporation.

or

In MIDI
Mode
1(ISMMode) the C-220 can
be
set tosendon any
of
the 16
MIDI
Channels,
and receive
on
1,
11, 12, 13, 14,
15
and 16. These receive channel assignments allow the
PR
-100to perform
on
channels 1-7, whilepennittingcontrol
of
your
C-
220
from an external
source through MIDI channels 11-16.
The
PR-l00
will use

to
control the C-220.
as required by the
ISM
software.
The
receive channel assignments are not changeable.
MIDI
Mode
2was designed forcontrolling the C-220from an external
MIDI
source such as
asequencer, Rodgers Classic organ, Rodgers Classic keyboard
or
other
MIDI device. It
allows the C-220 to
send
on
any
of
the 16MIDIchannels and receive
on
channels
1,
2,
3,4,
5and 6.
These
receive channel assignments are not changeable.
It is also possible to select sounds through MIDI commands called Program Changes.
ProgramChangesare messages(numberedbetween 1and 128)
sentdown
theMIDInetwork
that select sounds for each channel.
For
instance, theGuitar sound
of
yourC-
220·
has beenassigned
Program
Changenumber 17.
If
you were to send
Program
Change number
17
down
MIDI
channel 4, the Guitar sound
would be assigned to MIDI Channel 4.
Another type
of
MIDI
parameter which the C-220 supports is Control Change infonnation.
Control Change information is used to specify the volume, vibrato,
and
chorus settings
of
certain sounds
or
of
theinstrument
in
general.
The
C-220
MID
I
system
allowsyouto specify
which type
of
Control Change commands it uses for volume
and
vibrato control so that the
C-220
can
operate with amyriad
of
differentMIDIequipment.
In
addition, Control Change
information for volume, vibrato, chorus and reverb settings can
be
recorded to asequencer
and recreated perfectly during playback.
Of
course,powerful controls are
of
little use
if
they aredifficultto understand
or
toocomplex
to remember.
To
keep the MIDI system simple, the C-220
is
instructed to
send
Program
Change
and
Control
Change
information automatically. Because
of
this, all aspects
of
a
performance can
be
recorded by asequencer, including selection
of
different MIDI voices
(throughProgramChanges)andvolume,vibrato,chorusandreverbsettings(throughControl
Changes).

Receive Channels
As
stated
earlier,
MIDI
works
through
16
different
channels.
Each
of
these
channels
can
be
used
to
control
adifferent
sound
or
effect.
In
order
for two
MIDI
devices
to
communicate.
they
must
be
talking
to
each
other
on
the
same
MIDI
channel
or
channels.
For
example.
imagine
the
C-220
is
controlled
from a
Rodgers
Classic
organ.
Depending
on
the
type
of
MIDI
system,
the
organ
will
be
able
to
send
on
three
or
more
MIDI
channels.
These
channels
are
referred
to
as
"MIDI
Channel
1".
"MIDI
Channel
2", etc.
In
order
that
the
C-220
receives
the
MIDI
information
the
organ
is
sending.
it
must
be
set
to
receive
the
same
channels
the
organ
sends.
The
C-220
receives
certain
MIDI
channels
dependant
on
which
MIDI
Mode
is
selected.
In
MIDI Mode 0("Normal" Mode),
the
C-220
will receive
on
any
one
channel
when
"Whole" Mode
is
selected
and any
two
channels
when
"Dual"
or
"Split"Mode
is
selected.
The
receive
channel(s)
can
be
any
of
the
16
MIDI
channels
when
MIDI Mode0
is
selected.
Refer
to
the
section
C-220
MIDI
System.
Setting
the
Transmit
Channel
and
Setting
the
Receive
Channel.
In
MIDI Mode 1("ISM" Mode),
the
C-220
is
designed
to
take
advantage
of
Roland's
Intelligent
System
of
Music
software.
When
MIDI
Mode
1
is
selected,
the
C-220will
receive
on
MIDI
channels
I,
II,
12, 13. 14.
15
and
16. Unlike MIDI
Mode
0,
these
receive
channel
assignments
are
not
changeable.
The
C-220
can
send
on
any
of
the
16
MIDI
channels.
To
make
use
of
the
Roland
ISM software,
hook
up
an
optional
Roland
MT-I00
(or
Roland

Rodgers
PR-I00)
to
the
C-220
as
described
in

and
set
the
C-220
to
MIDI Mode 1. Refer

the

Mode.
When
controlling
the
C-220
from aRodgers
Classic
organ
or
sequencer.
it
is
best
to
use
MIDI Mode 2("Multl-TimbralMode 2").
In
this
mode,
the
C-220
receives
on
MIDI
channels
1, 2,
3,
4,
5-and
6.
With
the
C-220's
MIDI Mode
2
selected,
the
C-220
will receive
most
or
all
of
the
MIDI
channels
which
the
organ
sends,
making
it
possible
to
control
a
different
sound
or
effect from

The

is

Assigning sounds
to
MIDI
channels
There
are
two
different
ways
to
assign
the
C-220
sounds
to
different MIDI
channels:
1)
through
program
changes,
and
2)
manually.
When
controlling
the
C-220
from a
Rodgers
Classic
organ
with
program
change
capability,
a
program
change
can
be
sent
from
the
organ
keyboard
to
select
a
sound.
A
program
change
is
a
number
between
1
and
128
which
is
used
to
assign
sounds
to
certain
MIDI
channels
(see
the
owner's
manual
for
further
information
on
sending
program
changes
from
the
organ
keyboard).
Likewise,
when
controlling
the
C-220
from aMIDI
keyboard
which
has

capability, a
program
change
can
be
sent
to
