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!

It was, to be honest, about as hard as you found it. Thankfully the reverend and Organist were game, and many weeks later we now have a fully midi programmable church organ for our wedding. Unexpected benefit is also the church can now freely program their organ too which is fantastic for them. So thanks for this video and inspiring me

@tovenshane Жыл бұрын
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.

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. A very poignant and present reminder of just how significant the impact Queen had universally in the reactions of everyone there.

On the opposite, John has always been keen on sharing is knowledge and passion. And he is seen here sharing the joy and excitement of Rob, experimenting something no one has tried before. This is what real musicians are about. They are so dedicated to music, they love it so deep in their heart, that they're not making it a matter of ego. And that's what made this video even more enjoyable to watch for me.

The solution might be to adjust (i.e. time align) the playback within the Midi file or rather the DAW accordingly. A similar thing is done with delay lines in huge venues all the time ... but on the other hand ... you'd have to define where in the building the sweet spot (acoustic point zero) is supposed to be.

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.

@@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.

@@mumblbeebee6546 That whole organ console is just a giant midi controller..because it's just the sensible way to do things. all the stops and expression pedals are most likely CC commands the issue is the builder will be the only one with the real midi map of the instrument and what CC numbers are what stops and couplers. So when you record internally it just records a midi stream including the stops and swell controls With the documentation of the midi map people could compose for the organ directly.. Quick plug if you're interested in pipe organs there's some really good physics simulations as midi instruments and one of my favorites is aeolus.

A composer like Hans Zimmer or Philip Glass could do magic with this organ.

I think that a better way to use it would be to have a midi aconpanment and have a organist playing the lead. It would be an awesome performance to see.

There is a wealth of midi files for fairorgans... all of which (minus percussion) would work on the church organ as well.

With a lot of people stuck in doors right now. This is the kind of entertainment we need on our screens. When the music started playing I realised how big the smile on my face was. This was Rob, bringing people together to experience old being connected to new. Was amazing seeing everyone involved here getting fully stuck into the troubleshooting and then all being amazed by the pure delight that music can be
