Our church is faced with a BIG issue of our organist going off to university. Though I am an organ student, I do not quite feel up to the complete challenge yet, so I wanted guidance on something.
Recently, our organ was updated to solid state and is outfitted with a very basic MIDI port which no one knows how to use. There are no hidden buttons or screens on the "little black box", just the ports. I was wondering if there was a way to say, enter hymns in Sibelius or Finale or something on a laptop and plug it into the pipe organ to play.
I would appreciate any input on the subject and any advice or MIDI info (no, there are no speakers in the organ loft).
