Oh something in my niche ! I produce French pipe organ sample sets for a living : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jeuxdorgues.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jeuxdorgues.com</a><p>It&#x27;s an extroardinary journey to record an organ, process the thousands of WAV files and design a virtual organ model.

You can play it with your ASCII keyboard as well, as if it were a piano keyboard. It shows the German layout, but my Intl English keyboard works just as well.<p>Should you be so inclined: (short) k u (long) k (short) u y g f (long) d f.

This is super cool! I&#x27;ve advocated for spreading the organ to a modern audience through websites before, so it&#x27;s great to see someone doing this.<p>In fact, I&#x27;ve been working off and on on my own virtual pipe organ software[1], except based around modular synthesis. I&#x27;ve found most modular synthesis engines don&#x27;t have great support for blended midi and audio nodes, and often don&#x27;t have good resources management, so I started from scratch.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wwtos&#x2F;mjuo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wwtos&#x2F;mjuo</a>

That&#x27;s such a great project! But I&#x27;d love to see a proper VST with it, that allows voice mixing. The power of organs lays in the analog voice mixing (not simple on off, and not one voice exclusively)

Sounds great, even from so limited a platform. One octave is enough to have some fun with, if you&#x27;re creative. Would have been nice to be able to combine the stops, but the plenum at least gives you a solid sound. You can really hear the character of the organ.

At first I thought it was about the biologist Arp Schnittger: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scholar.google.ch&#x2F;citations?user=tvLQFnwAAAAJ&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scholar.google.ch&#x2F;citations?user=tvLQFnwAAAAJ&amp;hl=en</a>

Went to the demo, played some basic counterpoint, probably some poorly recalled lines from Bach, and I always get surprised how well the music of that time fits the instrument capabilities.

Beautiful sound - could anyone here point me to a method to upload such sounds onto standard keyboards (e.g. Yamaha PSR or Casio CT series), please? Thanks i.a.

I&#x27;ll chime in with a related project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openpipes.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openpipes.org</a>

my keyboard apparently only allows to press three keys simultaneously. But when I switch browser tabs&#x2F;windows while pressing a key, the keyup event apparently is not send to the previously focused window. For this virtual organ, this means it keeps playing the tone and therefore allowing to play more than three tones.
