Ian, thanks for sharing all of this with your "out there somewhere" audience. You are an architect and a painter of sound! May you continue to develop the gifts that have been entrusted to you in music and technology for God's greater purposes in worship and praise! Blessings and peace in 2011.

@dfusion2000 It's from the Rob Papen Blue synth. Great plugin!

Sorry, my typing skills are not the greatest. I meant upper parts.....

[1zackdaddy]

Great stuff, but how do you separate the organ pedal part from the upper parts, esp. when playing hymns? For ex., when playing upper parts on 8' or 8' plus 4', and the pedal on 16' only. Or, playing the cantus firmus on 4' ped, and using 8' or 16' on the manuals. To my ear, the organ patches sound good, but perhaps are too heavy in the lower register, without separating the ped parts from the uooer parts.

@1zackdaddy Hey! My keyboard is a clavinova at the church so there isn't separation unless you did perhaps a split of the sounds between the hands. Most of my left hand is the pedal parts for the hymns with the right hand doing the other 3 voices. If you actually had 2 keyboards and at least 25 pedals as MIDI controllers, you could program MSI to do 3 MIDI channels to trigger different parts just like a pipe organ.

Communion is when we need pipe organ the most!

Nice video. That thing does produce some pretty authentic sounds.

Yo honestly I really appreciate this demonstration. Sounds great! Thanks! :D

This is completely amazing! I never knew it sounded so rich. Thank you!
