Interested in gaining knowledge of the best possibilities to convert a 3-manual Allen organ to the Hauptwerk
System. This is a home installation—looking for the most cost effective approach. Open to all ideas.
For a 1970s Allen I suggest removing the Allen electronics down to the keybaords and switches and then wire the keys, pedals and switches to modern MIDI encoders/decoders. After that you need to build a Haupwerk computer and get a suitable USB sound module, amplifiers and speakers. Hook it all up and play. I also remove the moving drawknobs or magnetic tabs in favor of touch screens. YMMV.
