Abstract

Recent advances in technology enable the electronic organ to approximate closely the musical resources of the pipe organ while increasing the control and flexibility of those resources. To create a true ensemble of organ sound a patented multiple octave generator tuning system provides multiple frequency sources on a given note and variance in sources between different octaves of the same chromatic note, all under master clock control for tuning stability. A tone radiation system consisting of an electroacoustic pipe array with fifteen individual audio channels provides tone radiation characteristics similar to those of a group of air‐blown flue pipes. The use of a microprocessor controlled combination action increases instrument reliability while reducing its cost. New control offered to the organist by this noise‐free combination action includes pedal stop‐to‐manual division registration, visual identification of individual stops in the crescendo pedal sequence, and a new type of division cancel.
