Zitat von live3TA im Beitrag #219
In English, the adjective "continental" almost always refers to Europe.
Yes, used by British people to refer to mainland Europe, so the UK is excluded. So Willis, Hill, Harrison & Co. are theoretically not represented in this "pipe set"
Also the usage of "pipe set" instead of voicing is interesting here. "Continental pipe set" sounds like the best way not to trigger the rage of digital purists because, in the end, such a definition does not mean anything.

However, I hope there's a chance that Viscount's use of the term "continental" refers to another region of the world where under-winded pipe organs with peculiar ensemble sound is the desired type.
Continental Asthma. It is not the name of a region, it's a terrible disorder!Zitat von live3TA im Beitrag #219
Maybe the use of "prototype" is the hint given to indicate the unfinished/incomplete state of the organ disposition in the video--this would explain why it sounds like it does but it doesn't explain why it's used for the first Physis+ demo video. I remain confused...
I would not read between the lines here. I think Viscount is showing great continuity with the past. Until now, we did not have the chance to fall in love with their instruments at first sight. I remember that I decided to visit a music shop and test the Sonus 60 after watching this video (for those who maintain that promotional videos do not play a role in the customer's journey). I knew it was risky because the organ was recorded in a church but, while it is true that the room can add a lot, without a good raw sound no miracle can happen. I thought that, in the end, should the organ sound horrible, I would have used it as midi controller for hauptwerk. And it did sound horrible in the shop. However, I had some time to tinker with the settings and detected a small chunk of the instrument's potential. I bought it. The rest is history. When I played the Ouverture in Baunatal during the forum meeting, the experience was the same, with or without the special custom voicing it was equipped with. I bought it only because, at that point, I knew what I could draw out of it, and I could have customised the organ to perform better than the two previous ones (larger number of audio outputs).
Continuity for the manufacturer: the potential of the instrument remains hidden under the hood. Continuity for the dealers where things can even go worse
However, the last video published by Viscount, with that peculiar reed, reveals what is actually going on behind the scenes and this finally triggered my interest. But I know it is still up to me, us, the customers, to cut and polish the precious stone.

Little funny off-topic:
I just discovered that, in an adjacent-German-speaking country, there is another organ forum. Unsuprisingly, Physis Plus is discussed also there. Well, no, it is not actually discussed. They took Physis Plus, strangled it, cut into pieces, melted in acid, and flushed down the drain.
While I was reading the scary thread, I could see an aura appear over my head along with feathers on my back...
Ich glaube, von diesem anderen Forum habe ich schon einmal gehört. 
Kein Problem, wenn eine Novität zerrissen wird, weil sie nicht gefällt. Aber können wir hier damit warten, bis wir es gehört haben?
Es mag ja eine Ironie sein, aber ich glaube, PhysisPLUS wird sich ebenso verkaufen wie vordem Physis 1.0. Falls nicht, hat Viscount ein ernstes Problem - und daran mag ich zur Stunde nicht glauben.
