MIDI was developed in the 1980's for synthesizers. Although early synthesizers could produce a variety of sounds, only a few sounds could be played simultaneously. To overcome this, an interconnect language, MIDI, was developed to allow multiple instruments to be connected and controlled by a single keyboard.
MIDI soon found applications for organs. Besides traditional sounds, organs could now provide contemporary ones by controlling synthesizers. Also, MIDI sequencers enabled organ music to be stored on computer discs for automatic playback.
Allen Organs and Allen MIDI products are designed to work with all MIDI protocols including General, XG and GS MIDI. Flexibility, sophisticated sounds and ease of use are trademarks of Allen MIDI products.
Many organists use a SmartRecorder™ with Allen Performance Disks to easily integrate our extensive library of excellent organ performances into their music program. Whether accompanying the selections on your organ or creating special music for holidays and other occasions with automatic capture save and load, these MIDI sequencer disks have proven their value time-and-again to church organists around the world.
