That is called inflation , and it is independent of commercial policies

We are having the opposite case here, with new instruments being cheaper than the old ones. Since there is currently an objective increase of raw material and labour costs, one would wonder what was the actual value of the instruments sold/bought so far and what mark ups had been applied…

Meine Idee war nur, dass man die Leute, die aus schrecklich wichtigen Gründen keine zwei Jahre mehr auf Physis+ warten können/wollen, damit zumindest bei der Stange halten könnte ;)

Ich will damit sagen: Wir hatten das alles schon einmal.
Dass aus den damaligen Fehlern nicht gelernt wurde oder - im Prinzip noch schlimmer - das Defizit womöglich vom Hersteller gar nicht er-hört wird, wundert einen freilich schon.

Worse, the website only shows upscale/pimped out Americanized Viscount models--no entry level versions of Domus, Sonus, etc. I guess here they expect only the wealthy to buy DOs.

Jeff, have you seen the GM of Viscount North America? Looks like and speaks like those car dealers from the '80s that we see in some American movies...

Gibt es in Amerika überhaupt einen Markt für Einsteigermodelle? Nachdem dort ewig lang Rodgers und ähnlich "günstige" Hersteller die Marktführerschaft innehatten (und haben?) kann ich mir kaum vorstellen, dass der Bedarf nach USD 5000,- Orgeln dort hoch wäre.

but there are little sound hints peaking at a few edges of what will be Viscount's Physis Plus advantage

Unfassbar!

I can’t get over the chopping of the very first chord.

Anyway, the video is also a good example of how to poorly set the reverb: too little early reflections, way too much late reflections (now that, with the new reverb, it is possible to manipulate their ratio).

Maybe Jeff is right, we might be missing the subtle strategy behind these videos. Yes, it must be like that…

Good morning everyone! How are you? After various family vicissitudes, I hope to be able to attend the forum more consistently. I missed you (although I was occasionally able to read the threads).
I listened to this last video and was baffled.
I thought it was the generation technology of the Cantorum Duo, but instead it was Physis plus!
And paradoxically, I hear some elements that really bring it closer to ARTEM technology, but also others that remind me of modeling technology, especially in the final chord, that "movement" of tuning in the mixtures makes them appear really realistic, it almost seems like they managed to integrate very well the result of timbre transformation (I'm not referring to the morphing of the swell box) that occurs on the mixtures in the pressure drops (since a momentary lowering of pressure not only generates a shift in tuning, but has rather more complex effects on the chiff, on the timbre and on the volume); also in long chords, the mixtures seem to produce a very realistic TONAL effect.
While, other characteristics, such as the too simultaneous attack of stops that play simultaneously (it would have been nice to integrate a parameter to simulate the emission delay for each section -better for each stop-), and also the too uniform (and exaggerated) release for all stops (I would have expected a much more accurate "dynamics" implementation), they very closely remind me of any sampled organ. The feeling is that they have exaggerated with a sort of "condensed" of what happens in the organs in the attacks and releases of large combinations of stops: a sort of oversimplification of these two elements. While in long chords, something interesting is perceived that happens BETWEEN the combinations of stops.

I also have a terrible suspicion: maybe the new Physis plus is a combination of sampling and modeling?
Many musical instruments are going in this direction (Kawai -but not only- uses a combination of sampling and modeling for digital pianos), and perhaps it would explain the limited number of alternative voices (for me 5 alternative voices per tab is really too few).
It's just a speculation.. and maybe I'm wrong.. but..

P.s. I agree with Paolo, the reverb is just wrong.
Furthermore, the reverb tail of the low frequencies is almost completely missing, making the low notes appear completely detached from the context of the environment. I'm incredulous..
