Is there any chance that one of those 100 choices for controller assignment might be the rotary on/off switch? Maybe named something not so obvious? I would think that the command you are wanting to send would be on the top of the list for cc control. A very obvious and useful command that most keyboardists would constantly use.

The Peavey 1600x will certainly handle those hexadecimal numbers. I still have mine. Too big, but it would make a great controller for drawbar organ modules/plugins.

The manual does say the rotary speed can't be controlled by MIDI.

I didn't try sending the SysEx commands, since my controller can't do that anyway, I suspect sending them would work fine, for a controller that can send them. I could try my old Peavey PC-1600x I guess ... but my real goal is to have "Organ Rotary Slow/Fast" added to the MIDI External Controller list of >100 functions they support.

Thanks all!

Yamaha UK/Europe as Yamaha US has no interest in arrangers so unlikely to pass anything on. (Most content and features for Yamaha arrangers are done in the UK & Germany)
Modifications, Work arounds and multi keyboard setups are quite common in the UK & Germany (For some reason only the US players seem to moan about the weight and setup) so any forum there will probably help as well.

Hi - to "Salsaman", I looked carefully through the 100+ items on the list for MIDI External Controller; I didn't see any that looked at all like Rotary SP or Organ Rotary slow/fast. So, it appears that it's not on the list.

This is on the list for "local" controls (assignable buttons / foot switches). And the MIDI SysEx command do exist and work, but my MIDI controller can't send those.

Thanks for all the ideas/suggestions/comments/discussions!

Jim
