that bell is very annoying... Why didn't you just solder the carbon contacts to the pedal board?

[ekreh]

@krishotsaucemiller  The bell was in the trial edition at that time. Unfortunately I can't solder!

[jkbedford]

What piece is that you are playing?!

[ekreh]

It's not an existing piece, I played some notes to demonstrate how it works.

Is this the Metz organ C.C?

[ekreh]

It's the custom organ 2 with a 30 pedal setup

(I added apple matrix cathedral reverb)

well, it's an idea. not a good one. the noise from the action of the console drowns out any musicality.

The pedal thing u have done is actully a good idea its cheap and it adds a sort of delay like it would be ona really pipe organ

Is there a law against soldering where you are at? You can do string art, but you can't plug in a little $8 soldering iron, hold the tip to a copper etching on a board and add solder to it and when it melts take the heat and the solder away? THAT is all there is to soldering. This is why they have how to's on youtube. You can play classical organ, but you can't solder. Ugh, what is this world coming to?

some one told me you cant use the computer keyboard as preset buttons how did you do that

[mecheverriadiaz]

Another optional software is "jOrgan".

Salut!

My Frisian friend it is this video which sparked my imagination and desire to make my own virtual pipe organ. Thank you again for posting this.

Your improvisation should be written down and copyrighted. It definitely has some potential!

With adding that reverb program to that default Brindley and Foster sample set for Hauptwerk, it really opened up that little organ to a good sounding cathedral organ. Plus, when one can figure out how to configure a computer keyboard to do stops and such through the general settings, it's quite handy to do with what you got.

Great idea, your pedal to keyboard action. I thought of doing that years ago. Great sound. Keep up the good work!!!
