I've always wanted MIDI on the Rodgers T787 I play. I don't see that happening so I have to get a little creative. I can hook up our digital piano via its L and R ports to the organs Aux ports. That allows me to play the digital through the organ speakers. But I find the twisting I have to do play both unnatural and uncomfortable (although I suppose that's the way old school organists like Jesse Crawford added the piano melody line to their recordings) so I'd like to play the digital through the organ keyboard itself. I can easily get a MIDI cable but beyond that, I really don't know how to precede. Is there any point in doing this at all and if so, how do you let the organ control an outside keyboard? Would I need to start with the MIDI settings listed on the control panel?

Mak, if you are referring to recordings Jesse Crawford made on many theatre pipe organs, the piano sound was a real acoustic piano he could play from any manual, along with the pipe stops.
His Hammond recordings required an entirely different technique.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the Rodgers T787.

What you are requesting looks reasonably easy to do, but before I can give any advise I have a couple of questions:
Do you have a copy of the Rodgers T787 Operations Manual?
What type of digital piano are you using (brand and model)?Comment

Yes I do have the manual and my digital is a Technics. I am not aware of the model but both the organ and it have midi ports.Comment
