Den Klang einer großen Orgel im kleinen Musik-Kämmerchen zu reproduzieren, bleibt die Herausforderung. Meiner Meinung nach wird das realistisch nur gelingen, wenn es auch im Rücken des Organisten und ggf. seitlich oder über ihm aktive Klangquellen gibt, die den realen Raumklang überlisten. Doch genau dies löst einen Wust an Intonationsbedarf aus. Soll der auch weiterhin auf die User abgeschoben werden? Oder soll man künftig die Intonateure für die Wohnzimmerorgel künftig mehrere Tage mit Kost und Logis beherbergen?

Wer dafür eine Lösung hat, wird den letzten großen Quantensprung in der Digital-Orgel-Entwicklung auslösen.

My Sonus 60 is amplified with a 5.1 surround system and the perception is certainly of a more enveloping sound compared to a stereo setup.

Tuning the system is not a big deal. There are software solutions, used both in hi-end hifi and in the luxury automotive industry, which correct the response of the system both in the frequency and time domain.

The organ voicing is not dependent on the audio system one uses, it is dependent on the room simulation chosen (which enhances or depresses certain frequencies and dramatically shapes the timbre of the instrument).

There is however one critical factor that no digital or virtual software has addressed so far (and on which I am working right now) and relates to the location of the organ divisions in the domain of time. Hauptwerk, by sampling the wet sound of the organ, provides the most realistic sound because the different divisions - and their different locations in space - influence the amount of dry sound, early and late reflections. What it does not do, however, is to respect the time response of the different divisional locations. Our ear can process a sound delay of 400 microseconds, which is the distance between the ears on our head and, according to this (and together with amplitude), can precisely locate where a sound is coming from. With both digital and vpo the sounds originates from the same point in space (and therefore in time) and this gives an unnatural “wall of sound” kind of effect.

I have already solved this last problem with a kind of “hausgemacht” solution but now I want to take it to the next level. As soon as I have something acceptable (for my standard), I will post it.

So, if you want already a quantum organ audio system, it is already available ;)

Dear Paolo,

I appreciate your efforts very much and admire what you can tease out on your instrument. Since I know your recordings, you are the reference for me.
You once sent me your intonation by e-mail and I played around with it a bit, but in the end the attraction was greater for me to create my own intonation, and so I continue to work on my own optimizations and learn week by week.
But what I would appreciate - as I'm sure many others would - would be even deeper explanatory posts about your findings regarding the reverb and your configuration. The dry sound as it comes out of the organ is already excellent with many prefabricated configurations, but what you do with the reverb just puts the crown on the whole thing. Therefore, I and I'm sure many others here would very much welcome the opportunity to learn from you. I share your concerns though - I'm afraid there are quite a few out there who would like to monetize your selfless efforts and ultimately exploit your commitment. Therefore, as a pure amateur and hobby organist, I am grateful for every single hint, no matter how small, that I can get here.

Best regards

Stephan

Dear Stephan,

If we organise a Physis Tuning Workshop, I will be happy to explain ALL the details to the participants. But no videos, pictures and other docs.

;)

Ich glaube, da er ohnehin die automatische Übersetzung im Browser aktiviert hat (dafür sprechen die englischen Zitate deutscher Beiträge), ist die Sprache vermutlich egal. Meines Erachtens ist es am besten, jeder schreibt in der Sprache, die er am besten beherrscht. Ein gutes Deutsch per Google nach Englisch übersetzt funktioniert sicher besser als ein unbeholfenes Englisch .
