Features
Original Sampled Tremulants
Original Sampled Tremulants (OST™) incorporate actual recordings from pipes with the tremulant engaged. Using sampled tremulants offers a much more realistic result.
×Expression Pedals Link
The Récit division features two separate enclosures, one for Fonds and one for Anches. Using the Expression Pedal Link option turns the Fonds expression pedal into a master expression and controls the Anches expression simultaneously. This is a useful feature if you only have a single expression pedal or if you prefer not to use two different expression pedals while playing.
Perspective Presets
The Perspective Presets may be controlled by MIDI pistons or touch screens to select predefined perspectives, or connect a MIDI controller directly to the faders to create a custom mix.
Perspective Mixer
Two recording perspectives are fully controllable by the organist using the Perspective Mixer. The perspective faders allow you to choose between organ and church perspectives or anywhere in-between.
"Such a charming organ with all those celebrated colors that bring French music to life."
- Dr. Kenneth Udy, Adjunct Associate Professor, Organ, The University of Utah
