My self-made organ console version 1.1

PostThu Jul 23, 2009 6:08 am

My name is Ziemowit, i'm from Poland. I want to show you my self made organ console. This is only a prototype. It's not very beutyfull... yet, but it perfectly working.

Image

* 4 manuals made with M-audio Oxygen 49e
* 15 pistons udner I Manual
* self made AGO pedalboard
* 18'' toutchscreen
* PC with AMD Phenom II, 16 GB Ram,
* M-audio Fast Track Pro
* Zwolle Wet sample set from Sonus Paradisi
* Litomysl Wet sample set from Sonus Paradisi

As I said this is only a prototype. I want to make profesional console now. Maby you all can help me?
If someone could help me to build controled by MIDI draw-knobs? Toutchscreen is only temporary solution.

It's not that bad for a prototype :wink:
I recommend the touchscreen because controlling the Zwolle organ with it's 64 stops by drawknobs
is almost impossible. You don't want 64 drawknobs on your console it's not nice, and I think it's hard to use while playing!
Met vriendelijke groeten (Best regards),

Hi Ziemowit,
I had never seen so a big 'sheet music desk', very handy, I have always to less room!

See for ideas:

and

I agree with Nick, it is handy to have a hybrid solution: Touchscreen with some pistons (connected to 'presets/combinations', I see alread available) for fast changes.

Regards,
Gert

Thank you for your kind words. :) Indeed, the big sheet music desk is very very usefull.
About drawknobs... I think it's much more romantic. I like baroque organs and baroque music, so...

i'm thinkig about register keys like that on the picture below. Not with leds, or something, but fully mechanical. with MIDI zetser ;p I wand them to move automaticly.

What I really need now is ideal for MIDI-in and MIDI-out controlled draw-knobs matrix. 10x10 or 2x ( 5x10 ) in two panels.

Awesome! What did you use for hinges at the back, and which springs do you use?
