• 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.

And I see that now releases are available. But how do I know that a controller send releases in the midi message?
Actually I have behringer UMX *** I suppose they dont.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Develoopers,

I really appreciate grandorgue, but I miss the possibility of simulating better a tracker action in the release "area". I understand that actually GO computes the time a note was depressed and selects the release according to this factor. The real life (on a PO) gives the possibility to release fast a long-depressed note, giving more possibilities of articulation, specially in baroque music.

I would be very happy to have this possibility.

Thanks in advance anyway,

Cordially,

Francois PLANIOL

You can't compare the GO performance with a mechanical tracker action. Its more like a electrical/pneumatic tracker organ, which offers less control. The various releases allow to fix reverb issues. If you just press a key very shortly, the is only little reverb and using a sample with full reverb will sound strange.. If you keep a key pressed for a longer time, the reverb builds up and it does not matter anymore, how much longer the key is pressed. Therefore there are only different short releases - mostly on wet sample sets with lots of reverb. Do you think, that playing a short release and little reverb after a long pressed key will sound like you expect? In my option, this would need recording a different set of releases - so it wont' work with existing sample sets. To start such a project, we will need support of sample set creators, who will create such recordings. Have you talked to them, if they show interest?

This is me diving deep into a world I'm not linguistic enough to understand,
even if I am Clan Watt.
Even your user names aren't computing with me.
...oooooh.... dare I long for a world of direct current electricity....
and why am I thinking this looks like you should be setting up an organ under a waterfall...
and let your waterwheel create flowing tones of tidal and gravitational dualities.
I would think keys made of marine mammal ivory would be the most inspirational.
Somehow, I can see e9925248 getting into some DJ electronica, wearing a narwhal tusk on his head.
