There is a dry version of the organ, which I find very interesting.... if it's possible to get a good sounding 40 rank reduction, then that could be used in churches etc which is where my interest in this exercise is coming from.
My requests would include the following:
- as many string ranks as possible should be included in the reduction
- same thing for the 8 and 4 foot wooden flutes
- mixtures, mutations, reeds can be reduced
- should only require 2 physical keyboards + pedal, permanently requiring couplers to be engaged is OK
Or alternatively if this is a bad idea for some reason then please say so
