I dare them to ask me to turn it down

[SteveK]

Don’t forget your chainsaw…I think they might need a new doorway

[SteveK]

With all the pipes and the organ itself…I dare them to even find you to ask you to turn it down

[sekim]

I think I read that one of the ranks is literally louder than a train horn and holds a Guinness record for loudest organ rank.

I haven’t found dimensions for the hall but judging from photos it looks like some of the pipes are at least 100 feet away from the keyboard (100ms latency), lol.

@SteveK

You’d need you own 18 wheeler and 20 roadies just to carry it in. Might be a tough doorway fit though

And that’s just for the keyboards and stop controllers!

“The electric blowers that power the organ approach 1,000 horsepower.” (a modern electric motor of this power weighs over 6 tons not including the blower)

If the future 3D holographic/tactile glove enabled Cantabile has controller themes I will use the WLPO (Worlds Largest Pipe Organ) theme to control all my VSTs

[Corky]

Well @brad has a lot of work ahead to achieve this! Shall we post the idea in Trello?

[terrybritton]

@Corky

It needs some USB inputs so Cantabile automation can control pulls and tabs. Many states and bindings to deal with. Can you imagine the difficulty of abstraction for all those keyboards? THAT would take the genius of @terrybritton for sure.

I could do it.

VB3-II UPDATE 2.3.1

What’s new in Version 2.3.1

• All file exporters now select a default file name
• Session Recorder icon now flashes while a Midi File is playing
• Bubble messages can be clicked/touched to enter the manual value entry form
• Several minor improvements
• Fixed minor issue that could lead to audio silence or crash in very rare circumstances
• Fixed Background Audio switch not working (iPad only)

This update was posted in January, but I just now saw it

[cpaolo]

I didn’t find enhncement on PC version this time.

[Corky]

Hmm. It said nothing about being for iPad until the very end. I will check deeper when I get some time.

@cpaolo

then dove straight into the intro of Parallels (Yes), setting the organ to “Tutti” (full stops). At the end she asked what’s that?

This reminds me of a funny YT series called Tribals

Hi folks

I don’t remember if I posted this already

I have 2 controllers bought to act on my VB-3: MIDIMix and nanoKontrol 2

I was never able to use them in Bitwig Studio; only partially in Ableton Live

I suspect that the MIDImix is faulty because I cannot have the sliders acting on one key-set only: 2 of the sliders activate 2 sliders of the other key-set as well, and the 2 first left slider works in the opposite way (up vs down) compared to the others

I clearly tried a reset and the Editor tool with zero success
Have you ever noticed that?

About the nanoKontrol 2, it has fewer sliders than needed for the VB3
And I don’t remember if it works in Cantabile, so I’ll try it this evening and let you know

No success, as usual
I think I’ll stop using those controllers; too much complex to tame

[cpaolo]

She was Japanese, not a tribal girl.

Well, I just sold my VB3 licence and bought the Toontrack one, because the latter is well integrated with my Toontrack bass so I can have quickly a proper bassline

What’s your opinion about Session Organ?

[Corky]

All my Hammonds are like having children…they are all different in their own way.
I like all my Hammonds, but some are slightly different, and may take a little more effort finding a perfect tone. I use them all, and I know which ones are easy to dial in, but others may take some time. There are differences in the tone wheels, amp, or Leslie (just like REAL Hammonds).

But, I proved a few years back, with my presets in this thread, they all can come close to what I was seeking.
Again, I love them all, and their differences.
