==Technology== Rodgers' success was largely due to their early innovations with solid state analog tone generation technology. Despite the fact that competitors such as [[Allen Organ|Allen]] switched to digitally synthesized tone generation as early as 1971, Rodgers sold exclusively analog tone generation instruments until 1990. Rodgers introduced its first digital organ on November 20, 1990,<ref name=MusicTrades1991>{{cite journal |title=Rodgers unveils its first digital organs; new PDI technology offers excellent tonal quality at a competitive price |journal=The Music Trades |date=January 1991 |url=http://www.entrepreneur.com/tradejournals/article/9303180.html}}</ref> using a tone generation system Rodgers has dubbed Parallel Digital Imaging (PDI). Rodgers PDI organs use Roland DSPs and digitally sampled organ pipes for tone generation. A feature introduced in 1993, which Rodgers has termed "Digital Domain Expression," offers [[Expression pedal|swell box]] effects such as expression delays, high frequency damping and phase shifts of sound across a stereo field as expression shoes are opened or closed, similar to the effects produced by the swell shades on a pipe organ's swell box. In 2014, Rodgers new Infinity II models introduced Bluetooth wireless controls, including support for reading music from an iPad.
