May 31, 200917 yr Author Moderator ----------------------------Fr Bill- thank you, impressive stuff! Espec. when I opened up the the amp enough to get "good vibrations" flowing thru' the arms of my sim chair! A good reminder of why sound is so important in flight simming. Even my lady of 53 years came and listened! Reminded us of a noon recital on a visit to Salt Lake City years ago.Are you taking requests? Perhaps Bach's "Jesu, joy of man's desiring"?Alex ReidAs is sometimes said, "ASCII and ye shall receive..." :( Jesu Joy of Man's DesiringRegistrations:Positiv: Spitzflote 8'Positiv: Trumpette 8' + Prinzapale 4'+2'Great: Plein Jeu (g.o.)Swell: Jeux DouxPedal: Fonds de Grox Tierce Fr.

May 31, 200917 yr Author Moderator --------------- Thank you!Alex ReidYou are most welcome, Alex. I'm not really all that happy with the registations, but that was what I came up with short notice... ;) Fr.

May 31, 200917 yr I'm familiar with this, but haven't been able to locate an organ transcription. All I've found so far (doing a brief search) is one for violin and piano.http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/0270471/details.htmlI gather then that you are a concert violinst? I seem to recall you mentioned that some months ago.While composing this reply, I've been listening to Jascha Heifetz performing this with organ... Stunningly beautiful!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AK5lJFhrQ4 Yeah-the few times I've done it with organ they all freaked. Have to do it all from figured bass I guess.Heifetz is the greatest there ever will be imho-and that recording has never been equaled. Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
May 31, 200917 yr Holy Moly... I read the topic title and thought; ah crap, he's taken something that put him over the "4 hour", "need to call a doctor" threshold. I was all prepared to put the hammer down on the thread... And it turns out to be about real pipe organs. I guess I am relieved.

Mens sana in corpore sano ...With respect to Tom I'm confident about the "corpore sano" part, it's the "mens sana" that has me wondering. :(In other words, in Pig Latin ...

Get your mind out of the gutter, Tom! :( Just to show I'm not a stuffed shirt who never has any fun at all, picture this...I once played this as the Recessional after Mass one Sunday many, many years ago...Just a Closer Walk with Thee (Jazzed Version) Fr.

Does the organ have more?
May 31, 200917 yr Author Moderator Nice job and I have a question: I heard two manuals with identical stops. Does the organ have more?Although there are only two manuals and a full pedalboard, I can couple anything to any (or all) three of them.I have piston combinations I can set up to instantly change registrations on them as well. For sake of convenience I refer to the upper manual as Positiv and the lower manual as Great, although at any given time they can be Rukpositiv, Swell, or just about anything else! :( The specific registration for the last arrangement is:Positiv: Ripieno II (pos)Great: Swell Chorus Pedal: Fonds de Gros Terce + Ripieno II (ped) + Reeds 16'+8' + Bourdon 32This is what I use to emulate a "Theater Organ" sound...

June 1, 200917 yr Having worked in the Pipe Organ industry all of my life may I point out that what you have is not a Pipe Organ at all - it is an electronic simulation of one.A true Pipe Organ has pipes which are wind blown.Picky, picky I know. What you have does sound quite good for an imitation however.

GOOD GRIEF!!! This used to be a flight sim site, right? I can relate to manuals, pistons, pedals, registrations, even a piston combination or two... But when you start talking about upper manuals and lower manuals, the only thing I can relate to is keeping one manual between the roof of the plane and the pilot's visor and one under his seat (my personal favorite location).
