Theatre Organ In A Box

[jackyvix]

Beautiful style, Is the theatre organ connected up through MIDI?

Are they worth getting?

Thank you

[mcharman15]

@jackyvix Hello.Thank you for your kind comment. Yes it is MIDI to a FantomXR loaded with the Theatre Organ in a Box samples from Total Transforamtion Technology. Worth getting? - absolutely. The sound are wonderful. Regards Mark

[jackyvix]

@mcharman15 But are they a lot a money?

[mcharman15]

@jackyvix 399 pounds for the samples but you would also need the Roland Fantom XR

Mark

[jackyvix]

@mcharman15 Oh Lord that's a lot, why is the Roland needed?

I wish I could play my GN9 this well but I have disobedient fingers..... It's an age thing..):):):):).... What's that key board on top just out of view?....... Is it a MIDI controller or have you done as I have and just used another keyboard/workstation?..... Great playing by the way..... wonderful sound..... takes me back to Blackpool.......David

@keystar62 Many thanks for the kind remarks. The keyboard on top is a Technics KN5000 - it is also midi'd up. the sounds are samples from Total Transformation Technology's Theatre Organ in a Box - via Roland Fantom XR.

You have to hand it to them, they finally did it, capturing the mighty WurliTzer with modern electronic means. Asides from my own style, I happen to like the "British Bounce" organ playing. Regards to all my fans.

How did you get the theater sounds from that digital Technic's organ? Sounds great! You can get this from a new Lowrey organ.

[mcharman15]

@MrGlennyGlenn Many thanks for your kind remark. CD - i'm not so sure. I'm only an amateur who loves the organ!!

An excellent Quickstep time piece. It's very much Phil Kelsall 's style. I love the sounds. Its just like the real thing. :-) xx

[raybohr]

Pretty cool.  I wish I had one of those in my day. Can it only do "Blackpool"?

[RobertKarlBerta]

Nice....I have the TOIAB also...have had it for a little over a year. I am an organist and MIDI accordionist as well as keyboard player but primarily play using the MIDi accordion to control the Roland Sampler. I got the idea from Regs YouTube video of him demoing the TOIAB on his MIDI accordion.

The MIDI accordion is a huge crowd pleaser here in Michigan. Having seperate bass and accompaniment on the left and two channels on right treble KB mimics three manual organ and pedal board.

well done, awesome sounds from the box

[JOSEENUNO]

Hello! I'm very glad I found this video!... On the other hand, I miss my old Elka, where I used to play tunes like the ones I've just listened to. That's a Technics, in'it? It sounds very good and you, my friend, seem to be in a great shape =)

Really enjoyed it - 5 star performance!

All the best. Jose

Hello

Thanks for your kind remarks. You are quite right - It is a Technics, a GN9 in fact but the sound is coming from a Roland Fantom XR with Theatre Organ in a Box samples via MIDI.

Cheers

Mark

[kieraneastwood123]

sorry that was ment to be your style not our style in the past comment by me. i do apologize about that thanks for posting

[mcharman15]

There is no accompaniment - just pure hands and feet! lol. The rhythm is from the keyboard on top, which is a Technics KN5000. Regards Mark.

[kieraneastwood123]

what keyboard is it that you are using for accompanimet drums. Im Loving our Style and The Samples are absloutley fantastic. Im Hoping To Get a Tyros Soon and Hopefully buy these samples from total transformation to use. Thanks for posting

[adrianw1972]

Very good technique. Fantastic sound but could you tell me what model it is and how does it compare to a Yamaha AR100. Cheers, A

[mcharman15]

Adrian

Thanks for the comment. The organ is a Technics GN9 - quite old. However, it is not the organ that is making the sound - these are generated by a Roland Fantom XR using Total Transformation Technology's Theatre Organ in a Box and is connected via MIDI. Hope that made sense? Ta Mark.

[Soulsmurf]

Mark,

No - I haven't heard TIAB live, I've only heard mp3's of the samples.

Do you know if it will only run with Roland Fantom XR - (can't afford one lol )!

Cheers, Dave

[mcharman15]

The samples only work on the XR or the X range keyboard equivalent. I think that they do some samples for Tyros and Ketron, but I'm not sure if these are purely theatre organ samples or something else.

Regards, Mark

[Soulsmurf]

A really convincing theatre organ sound.

I've heard TTT's theatre-organ-in-box before, but this set-up sounds really good.

An excellent performance as well - you have a very good theatre organ style of playing.

Did you have to programme your Technics to change the "box's" registration presets?

Cheers, Dave

[mcharman15]

Dave,

Thanks for your comment. Didn't really need to do much with the Technics - just tell it which program to select when changing registration, which is easy enough. Have you heard one of these live? - the samples are superb. Ta
