Concerto III (1 reply)
Your organ is working correctly!!
Pistons are not supposed to be recorded in midi files or directly used in midi messages. The stops set as a result of using the piston are sent instead.

Hi everyone. I bought a three manual organ in 1996, it came with the name Concerto III, but I can find out very little about this model. After many years of faithful service I have now decided to use it for Hauptwerk instead.
So far I have had perfect results apart from the fact that the pistons don't seem to send a midi signal out. I can program the stops, that's fine, and I can use the usual setter to set buttons up to control the stops, but I want to program the the pistons directly with HW, especially the generals.
Does anyone have any idea how this can be achieved or anything about the concerto model that might help.
Thanks
