Floppy no more...


We live in times when technology of a few years ago is replaced with newer, smaller and faster technology and this has been the case with the very popular Rodgers PR-300 MIDI module, later upgraded to the R-300S.

This module as actuality two modules in one - a voice module with MIDI instruments and a sequencer that records and plays back anything played on organ stops and also on the MIDI instruments in the module itself.

Four years ago we began searching for a USB drive replacement unit and were told that they were available - but none of them worked.  We finally came across an engineer in Italy who told us why and, encouraged by his comments, we continued to search out and finally found a unit.

6 weeks of testing and the unit works very nicely.

The PR-300/s floppy drive was limited to storing only 99 MIDI song files.  The USB drive unit has 999 banks for storing information from floppy drives.

  1. I'm just reading this post as I search for a replacement for our PR-300S. Do you have a suggestion? We have a Rodgers Trillium T837 organ.
