Stop Control via MIDI on Allen Organ

[UCG Musician]

I am finding very little information anywhere on how stops on an Allen organ are controlled via MIDI messages. The model is MDS-50. It is supposed to be fully MIDI capable but there does not seem to be a MIDI implementation guide available for it from the manufacturer or installer.

I hope to connect a laptop to the organ and use a robust MIDI sequencing program called Sonar. I know MIDI fairly well but how to use it with this instrument is baffling so far, to say the least.

Doe anyone have insight into this?

I used to be an Allen tech years ago ... and had little exposure to MIDI, except knowing that the organ was able to be interfaced with a computer to adjust various stops (voicing).

I thought the connector plugs for MIDI were below the Great manual on either side, but I could be wrong ... that was almost 20 years ago. All of my Allen manuals had to be turned into the dealer when I quite servicing them.

I sent you a PM with information that I can't post on this forum.
