"(and I do mean 81 separate sets of tone generators) AOB from 1988 installed in Our Lady Queen Of Martyrs in Queens"
Great Scott! This organ is still used in every Sunday service? I need to drive...

Wow. The big Rodgers sounds pretty good, although there is still just a bit of that unmistakable Rodgers analog quintiness. (may even be a "4th-iness.") It sounds scads better than the recording of...

Would love to know if there are recordings of the 10th Pres. Philly analog. I thought I'd read somewhere [here] that it had 40 oscillator ranks though, not 26? In any case, Allen probably had a...

fully restored to like-new operating and playing condition

Did they re-leather it??? Sorry I have to take issue with this. No dealer selling used e-organs for a huge markup over ebay prices is...

"Organ speakers really aren't all that specialized"
You are probably right about that. But there's no point to building your own when the market is so replete with various brands and styles. ...

Ok. Great to see all these mysteries cleared up! It's like Christmas in May!

My main reason for thinking Roland was involved in M&O, was as I initially stated years ago, the fact that the line...

"using a readily available pipe organ console, standard MIDI equipment, off-the-shelf high-end computers running Hauptwerk or any similar VPO software,"
"Given the opportunity and the financing,...

I don't think they build anything of their own; they might even order the consoles from OSI or someone else like that. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Definitely not speakers though,...

"but otherwise the M&O Opus and Prodigy products have no Rodgers content."
but that doesn't matter because the whole theory of the line back when it came out in 2003 (wasn't that the date of the...

I know you're one of the resident experts on Rodgers and I'm not intending to challenge that, per se. Here's what I find fishy about M&O (as in, the entity that was once a Rodgers dealers for New...

Thanks guys. These last 3 posts should be moved over to the other thread, sorry I shouldn't have posted the question here but I started a new thread when I realized the mistake.

Thanks. That helped clear up the difference between diode keying/tone generation and solid state keying/switching.
I see what you say about the high currents required for pipe organs. In the book...

LOL
first Allen model was 39 I think, and Rodgers ended analog in 89.

This is picking up from a remark Don60 made in the what's it worth forum. That the last Allen analogs had innovations like...

"These later analog organs had some refinements such as solid state keying that represented imiprovements over the early solid state models."

That's very interesting don60, because MarkS...who...

Ebay prices most realistically represent the true market for used digital organs. Simple fact. Very few institutions buy used, which is why attempts to sell them at "dealer prices" in other venues...

Right, those are the chips that Walter Greenwood said "performed a few standard logic functions" or something. I bet the right outfit/individual could reverse engineer them pretty easily these days,...

Ahoy there. Like jbird604 pipe organs are not area of expertise. But, a couple comments are in order.
I wonder if organs have to be rebuilt as frequent is it seems, is the problem partly that...

this does not belong here

Not sure why you fixed upon that model, catlover. (are you sure you don't have this?)
All of the smaller ADC models, as long they have AGO consoles, are similar sounding enough there's no...

Haha you are probably right about that. Agreed about FG-1 vs. FG-2. Looking at a cage chart, it seems the FG-2 was required for mixtures, the primitive multisamples like the trompette, and...

Yes. In the Great "How the ADC System Works" thread of a couple summers ago, I think I raised the likelihood that the "Frequency Generator" boards actually take streams of numerical frequency values...

Quick (for me!) note. Well of course this is a problem; especially if Allen's attitude really is that the dealers are their customers as someone posted elsewhere. That's not an attitude likely to...

Here are the specifications of the custom Johannus organ. I'm doing a bit of decluttering and found the program.

Organs are just one of my too diverse interests, and IMHO this is a problem on most every internet discussion forum. I almost mean "problem" in the formal logic related sense, not a more practical...

Yeah, it's a shame but the more I read about ebay & paypal, the more it becomes obvious that they are both becoming infested with lowlife scum, and that ebay sides with the scum.
