• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Sorry, I do not know how surround works and I think it will not be possible with Myco.

Dear Jean Paul,

In Surround recordings, a pipe is recorded twice. For example: 1 Diapason 8' is stereo recorded near the organ (front) and the same diapason is recorded in the rear of the church (rear).
So in the list of organ voices you can see "Diapason 8' front" and "diapason 8' rear." When you route the front samples to audio channel 1-2 and the rear samples to audio output 3-4, you will have an real church-experience. But you need twice as much RAM to load a surround organ.

I prefer playing surround samplesets, so I wish to put an organ together of demo surroundsets f.i. of Sonus Paradisi...
Thats why I ask this question. I can highly recommend you to hear the surround-experience (If you know someone who has got it).:)

Dear Jaap
Thanks for your very interesting informations Myco is not programmed to make surround organs but it can be use to prepare the CODF of such organs. Then you will have to edit manually some lines of the CODF to get what you wish. If you want to try, I can give you a registered version of Myco. For this I need your name and e-mail address.
Friendly. J-Paul

Hi Jaap,
A stereo front and rear recording is not really surround, but 4-channel audio (double stereo). A real surround recording has also a (mono) centre-channel (just as at a movie on DVD), this is called surround 5.1. See here.
