Controlling jOrgan Stops with the Computer Keyboard

[ggoode.sa]

Hi,

For those using jOrgan with their virtual Pipe Organ setups, here is an easy way to control the stops using your computer keyboard.

I'm using jOrgan 3.6beta2, but this has worked liked this from version 2.x and will continue to do so in future versions...

1 Run jOrgan and load the organ disposition.
2 Enter Contruction Mode (click on the 'pencil/ruler/triangle' icon)
3 On the console area click on the Stop that you want to activate/deactivate with the computer keyboard
4 In the Properties section of the Stop you will see the 'Shortcut' property
5 Click on the Shortcut text box
6 Enter the key on the computer keyboard that you want to use to control this stop
7 Click on another Stop in the console area
8 You should now see a small letter next to the Stop that you just configured indicating the Shortcut that you entered.
9 Repeat for all the Stops that you want to configure
...
10 Save the Organ definition
11 Leave Construction Mode (click on the 'pencil/ruler/triangle' icon again)
12 Play the organ!

Have fun!

dear Graham,

I used Cavaill'e Coll and praestant 1 , those were extremely good organs...........I haven't tried it with my MIDI keyboard yet...... hope that process is also simple .........

Hi Alex,

Paul's instructions say "After installing jOrgan, simply unzip/extract the disposition package into the jOrgan disposition directory/folder, and open the desired disposition with jOrgan 3.5.1. Dispositions will not work with previous versions of jOrgan". Which version of jOrgan are you using? jOrgan 6.2beta? If so you should be able to unzip them into the 'dispositions' directory, run jOrgan and open the disposition files from where you unziped them.
If you still have a problem let's deal with one organ at a time, so let me know which one you're having a problem with.
There is also a jOrgan forum - http://www.nabble.com/jOrgan---User-f19966.html. You can read through the postings there for more information.

Give the NGBO a try, too. Aren't free organs wonderful?

Graham, your help in this and other forums has been a god-send. Thanks so much.

Hi Stephen,

Glad you're having fun! Have you used the new MIDI recording feature of jOrgan 3.7 dispositions yet? It's a great way to critique one's own playing (or just enjoy it all again).

Actually, I haven't. My latest version is 3.6.1 so I'll download 3.7 and give it a go. Thanks for the info.

I introduced my mother to http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/home/browse and she now starts her days there as she loves the sound of the theatre organs and it reminds her of her younger days when she played. She says it makes her want to play again, but she has so much arthritis in her hands and her fingers are all crooked and painful. So at least it brings her joyful memories and provides wonderful listening.

Dear Greatcyber,

forgive my ignorance........ wat is this NGBO ??????

[ggoode.sa]

It is the North German Baroque Organ from Rite Instruments (http://www.rite-instruments.de/data/...omeheader1.php). The same creator as the Cavaill'e Coll and Praestant 1 :-)

Have fun!
