(FOR ALLEN ORGANS WITH CONSOLE CONTROLLER)

 

 

This subject is detailed in the “Console Controller and MIDI Guide” that is specific to any 
particular Allen Organ.  Please use that publication for this procedure. 

 

NOTE: 

Early version Console Controllers™ will return to Preset P-Change when the 
organ’s power is shut off.   

 

  Newer version Console Controllers™ will retain the “U”, “P”, or “N” settings after 

the organ’s power is turned OFF and then ON again. 

 

 

IX.  DISABLING AN MDS-EXPANDER™ II DIVISION

 

 

    There are three ways to disable a single division of the MDS-Expander™ II, while still 

accessing the other divisions. 

 

1. 

Turn off the associated organ MIDI coupler on the organ.  This method is 

acceptable when the MDS-Expander™ II is the only MIDI device connected to 
the organ division in question.  This will stop all MIDI information transmission 
from that division. 

   

2.  Select MIDI OFF as a division's voice (See instructions for VOICE button above).  

The organ will continue sending MIDI information to any other MIDI device in 
use.  The MDS-Expander™ II division will continue to respond to program 
change information, including program change information sent by Allen organ’s 
pistons.
