• 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.

Hi everyone

I met E Dalest, he kindly accept to come one hour to my house, we made several tests with his product, here is the conclusion :
The electronic cards doesn't work with GrandOrgue (because GO can't ignore midi-off messages for the stops), :cry:
but it works great with Hauptwerk.
So unfortunatly, I'll have to use Haupwerk if I want real wooden stops on each side of my keyboards... :crazy:

You could use jOrgan to control GrandOrgue and thereby workaround the limitation. I'm still not quite sure what the issue is (GO uses Note On for Stop On, and Note Off for Stop Off, what are the MIDI messages sent by the board?). It is possible that you could use MIDI-OX Data Mapping to work around it as well... let us know what you hardware is producing and we'll brainstorm the issue again :)

Graham,
Thank you for your advice concerning JOrgan...

The board comes from a midi keyboard, so it is limited by the keyboard polyphony : I think 8 voices max. The board behaves exactly like a keyboard: When you press the note, the stop is pulled, when you release the note, the stop is pushed. The problem is that you can't pull to many stop at the same time...

I'm sorry to say this - but 8 note polyphony is ridiculous in this day and age! I can purchase a MIDI board for about 55 Euros that will give 64 notes.

How does it 'Work great with Hautpwerk'? If the polyphony is limited to 8 notes?

Kind regards,
GrahamG

You could try using divisionals and generals, obviously you need to set them up in GO first, but you can control more stops, one divisional can control from one to however many stops there are for that division, yet only needs one MIDI command, I use programme change commands on the relevant channel. GO normally has 8 divisionals per division, however you can programme more if required (I have 10 on the great)
