Digital Organ Stops

A most interesting development is the combination, within a single instrument, of traditional organ pipes with digitally produced organ stops reproduced through loudspeakers. The quality of sound from a digital section is now so good that it is often extremely difficult to distinguish which is which. Nevertheless the overall effect undeniably remains a ‘pipe organ’.

To overcome tuning difficulties we have devised an automatic system that ensures that the digital voices closely track changes in pitch of the pipes. It is not generally realized the extent that the pitch of a pipe organ changes with temperature, but in general our automatic digital tuning makes regular adjustments entirely unnecessary.

We can provide a unit to provide just a few digital stops, or complete hybrid instruments in any size.
