Wooden magnetic stop tablets.

PostFri Mar 07, 2014 6:58 am

I want to show you my new idea - wooden magnetic stop tablets.

- made of solid oak wood. matt or gloss
- magnetic mechanism (no springs at all)
- 3mm status LED inside
- minimum quantity: 24

- you can change size, shape and color of tablets.
- you can choose different stop distribution
- one (standard) or two contacts versions available (down for ON and up for OFF)

More information soon on Magnus website (http://www.magnus-organy.eu)

This looks interesting :) Couple questions:
1) What midi device / system do you plug these into? Do they simply get wired into a midi "card" that then plugs into the input of my midi capable soundcard?
2) Is there any support for using midi events to cancel a stop? So if I press a round button under my keyboard that tells HW to change the stops on the organ, will your physical stops move on and off from a midi event?

1) You can plug it directly to LITSW (http://www.midi-hardware.com). You can control 24 stops with one unit. It controls both: contact and LED.
If you want to connect it to different type of electronics, you have to tell us - we can prepare different wiring. With no additional cost.

2) It is 100% Hauptwerk integrated after MIDI connection. So it works exactly the same as stops on your touchscreen. If you change stop position on screen - it will change physically. And vice versa of course.

Wow, that's the first implementation (that I'm aware of) that has physically controlled stops via HW, well done! There is of course the very expensive syndyne (spelling?) hardware that is used on a lot of pipe organs where I live, I priced that out but was close to $2000 or something nuts like that.

Next question, what kind of electrical power does a system like this take? If I hit a "general cancel" piston in HW, and I have 60 or more of these stops in the "on" position, does it not take a very big power supply to pull all the stops into the "off" position? I'm assuming you need something a little bigger that a 12 volt adapter :mrgreen: can you let us know some of the specs regarding that?

I don't know if I am precisely enough.

There are three different kinds of this stops. Regardless of the shape and color.
1) One contact + status LED - (this one is on the picture). If you press it you change it state ON-OFF. Physically or via MIDI. No difference.
2) Two contacts + status LED - if you press the bottom you make the stop ON, if you press the top you make the stop OFF. L
3) One contact, move-able.

I think that you're thinking about this third kind. Right? Our stop mechanism is magnetic. So all I need to do is to add two little coils to move them. Nothing more.

Of course this third kind is little more expensive than first and second. I still don't have final price list, because this is prototype only. :)
This $2000... for how many pieces?
