Dear Hauptwerkians,
I promised during the summer that the new Vox Organi model allowing flexibility in register labeling would be ready by September. Though somehwat belated, the prototype is ready and functions well. See also some pictures:

The idea is quite simple: we use small LED register buttons without any engraving. Above the register buttons we placed a rotating cylinder which can display 4 different dispositions. Only one row of disposition shows at a time which we can select. The label cylinder can be rotated manually. The label cylinder is also easily replacable, allowing to have 4 or even 8 organs in one and the same instrument.
The organs can be selected using a preselect button.
The organ in the picture can produce 8 different organ sounds as we have equipped it the corresponding number of preselection buttons.
For the time being four instruments were equipped in accordance with our client’s wishes:
1., St. Eucaire Cavaillé-Coll – French romantic
2., Zwolle St. Michael – German Baroque
3., chamber organ (4 stops)
4., cembalo – two manuals
On the PC we use SSD storage which allows us to equip the instruments in a matter of seconds (5-20 sec).
The PC starts up very fast. Counting from the moment it is switched on the instrument can be played within at most 30 sec.
The console is of traditional set up, there is no monitor, the most important information can be viewed on 3 displays.
Display 1: shows which organ sounds have been stored as well as the name of the instrument
Display 2: Helps handling the setzer system
Display 3: volume, master tuning (+-440Hz), transposition, fine tuning.
The keyboard is very elegant, its touch excellent: FATAR TP64LW ebony-cherry.
Complemented by an adjustable organ bench (100 mm) and 30 sound BDO pedal (halftones coating wenge wood).
The music stand has a built in LED tape which provides light both to the music book as well as the keyboard, hence no other light source is necessary.
Best regards
