I agree with everything you say!

I am totally intrigued by how listening habits change over time, or differ from the ground up anyway. At the moment, for example, I can get very excited about the "Deutsch" style included on my Concerto 350 (=Sonus 60). Do you really consider the included styles to be so grotty? I have made a few modifications to the included "Deutsch" style and the result is currently my default setting for my daily organ sessions.

In the default voicings everything “screams” especially in the higher octaves.

That probably makes a lot of sense. I remember my visit to Thomann last year where I played a Sonus (an original one, no Kisselbach version) and I really didn't like the sound. When I visited Kisselbach afterwards and played the Concerto I was totally fascinated by the sound. So most probably the default voicings of the Concertos already underwent some kind of work-over that at least to my ears make them much smoother and more realistic.

Well, I had to refurbish all my styles because in the new room they just didn't sound as good as in the living room.
This is to say that in my opinion, any style, even very refined and highly elaborate, will always need some adjustment to make it sound good in the room where the organ is.
Not that that's a bad thing, but basic knowledge of the art of voicing will always be needed to make an organ sound its best in a particular room. And this regardless of the technology used (physis, sampling, etc.).

Danke Flauten. Dem möchte ich auch von mir hinzufügen:

Lieber Ulrich, vielen Dank für die offenen Worte. Ich bewundere Deine Konsequenz, ein Thema angegangen und wirklich ausprobiert und dann gemerkt zu haben "Passt für mich nicht!" - und das Thema dann auch richtig abzu. Das macht Platz im Kopf und im Leben für neue Aktivitäten. Sollte man öfter so machen (sagt jemand rückblickend aus Erfahrung). Dir wünsche ich für die neuen Aktivitäten oder auch nur den Freiraum alles Gute!



@Paolo: Many thanks for your clear words and comments about Physis. Seem to confirm a lot of my reservations about it. Do I get it right that basically you are saying Viscount is at present only selling good hardware und good software but leaves it to the customer to make it sound fantastic? So, Sonus etc. are something like a DIY-kit, actually?

Deutsche Übersetzung mit deepl:
Vielen Dank für Ihre klaren Worte und Kommentare zu Physis. Sie scheinen viele meiner Vorbehalte zu bestätigen. Verstehe ich das richtig, dass Sie im Grunde sagen, dass Viscount derzeit nur gute Hardware und gute Software verkauft, es aber dem Kunden überlässt, diese fantastisch klingen zu lassen? Also sind Sonus etc. eigentlich so etwas wie ein Do-It-Yourself-Baukasten?

Translation English - Italienisch mit deepl *):
Molte grazie per le tue chiare parole e commenti su Physis. Sembrano confermare molte delle mie riserve su di esso. Ho capito bene che fondamentalmente stai dicendo che Viscount al momento vende solo buon hardware e buon software ma lascia al cliente il compito di renderlo fantastico? Quindi, Sonus ecc. sono qualcosa come un kit fai-da-te, in realtà?

*) Übersetzungen von und nach Englisch sind IMHO schon weit besser als zwischen den "kleineren" Sprachen.

I am at loss to understand, however, why the potential improvements are not applied on the current range of instruments, considering that there is a flourishing community of users that developed and customized their products well beyond the default performance level. [/quote]

That makes two of us then.
