Eh, we're usually pretty chill about letting people use our organs. They're meant to be played, and good ones are rugged enough to last for hundreds of years under regular use. You're not gonna break them by playing them, and we're more than willing to let you experiment. A lot of us got into organ because of the enormous number of possibilities they have, so seeing this stuff as a classical organist is pretty cool. And the added benefit is that videos like this spread the organ to a wider audience, which it definitely deserves. Cheers!

@tovenshane Год назад

Oh, absolutely no doubt the stops could be controlled with SysEx commands! If the organ console is that modern and implements MIDI, I'm sure they allowed for external control of the stops. You can essentially do that with the registration pistons under each keyboard already. It's how organists change "patches" so quickly. They set up the stops, then save them as a registration on one of the pistons. These consoles are amazing. They often have couplers between manuals (keyboards) so one manual can play pipe stops from another manual, or the pedals. It's super cool stuff. 😊

Little did they realize that all 9 divisions have their own MIDI channel. The channels weren’t tied to the keyboards or pedalboard. You could have 9 unique parts & sounds running at the same time, not just 6. The 3 divisions (portions) that aren’t explicitly tied to a keyboard have a switch (‘coupler’) that connects them to an existing keyboard. These are called floating divisions.

@5plurge 2 года назад

This video, having come back for like the 8th time in the past 18 months, is one of those rare cases of being a video that manages to draw you in completely and entirely. The technical curiosity to chase this idea of feeding midi into the organ, the problem solving and desire to push on despite it not functioning, the absolute awe when it first works and the majesty of hearing your own (Rob's) music in a fresh and interesting environment. Playing with this new and fun idea, getting Necrophagous and testing a pipe (hehe) dream about it sounding like Bach, giggling at Super Mario and then the utterly awe inspiring, triumphant but sombre Bohemian Rhapsody.

The solution might be to adjust (i.e. time align) the playback within the Midi file or rather the DAW accordingly.

@@goodtogo2876 How is it disrespectful? This absolutely monumental engineering challenge of an instrument was created because we, as humans, collectively acknowledge the incredible importance of music to connect us, to bring us joy. By extending the capabilities of this instrument beyond what a single person, or even the most synchronized orchestra, can play (which was the original thesis of the organ), we are not only respecting it, but going that one step further in honoring it's spirit.

@AshBarkPerson 2 года назад

you might get some of the space and direction, but it would be nothing compared to the real thing, especially considering they didn't have recording equipment optimized for the room. Maybe you can get pretty damn close to the real thing with professional recording equipment and headphones, but it would never really match the live sound. Not whith the distance involved in such a large, live room and how it echoes about so much. You can feel the low notes of the organ through the pews you sit in, through your feet. I think these pipe organs are some of the greatest sounds people can possibly make. The cathedral is the body of the instrument just as much as a violins body.

@noesunyoutuber7680 Год назад

@@AshBarkPerson At minimum you'd need full surround sound to really capture the way the sound travels (since you're dealing with an instrument that rings out from all around the room, not just in front of you), and I can only imagine the difficulty in capturing the various quiet overtones and reverberation without the louder pipes completely blowing out the recording. Being able to feel the sound is more down to your speaker system, as anyone with a subwoofer can attest to, but trying to capture that powerful sound without losing detail? An engineer's ultimate test, or perhaps their worst nightmare.

Those microphones aren't particularly great for dynamics though. The more ideal setup in this scenario would be to have 2 decent mono mics with a few feet of separation. Then you still get the stereo field similar to binaural and better dynamics.

Wouldn't reach anywhere near the same feeling. Neither those microphones nor youtube would capture the full range made by a pipe organ. A big part of their "power" comes from sub sonic frequencies with some of the largest organs (quite possibly including this one) going into deep into single digit frequencies.
