Here's how I figured out the sequencer work in Home Computer, and how you can program it yourself if you'd like to play it.
Sunday morning guitar...
มุมมอง 1504 ปีที่แล้ว
Here I am trying my hand at an old Fleetwood Mac instrumental. I recorded all the backing tracks into the sequencer/sampler of the Roland Fantom keyboard behind me.
Paia 9700 modular basic patch set up

A video by request showing how to set up a basic patch on the Paia 9700 modular synth.
Couperin on the modular...
มุมมอง 1774 ปีที่แล้ว
Here I am stumbling through a piece from the Couperin Mass for the Convents on the modular system. The percussion patch on the right hand is four VCOs stacked up with the highest pitch on FM-ed for nice dissonant harmonics.

Boardwalk Hall- Echo organ division

A walk through of the Echo division of the Midmer Losh organ at Boardwalk Hall. The Echo division was the first to be playing back in 1929.

Finally! Here's the new sequencer being put through its paces, the third and final installment in the "sequencer trilogy".
When eill the Fanfare and Echo divisions be restored?
Cardboard or Bakelite/phenolic? Hmm...
That is a very impressive organ! I’m amazed at the craftsmanship involved. However, I don’t understand the need for such low frequency notes. What piece would involve playing these notes? I’d be curious to hear them in action.
There's no piece specifically written for these pipes, you just add them as you think appropriate.
I know this may be a stupid question but are these percussion instruments able to be heard across the hall or are they only heard close to the grille
You can hear them in the hall surprisingly well.
That's one hell of an oscillator. It's based on gassy equivalents of inductance and capacitance.
I never knew a 64’ existed! Amazing.
right after this video, his asistant wrongly press C# instead of C, Now Chris's nickname is Beethoven.
I have noticed numerous comments here stating that the stop is unmusical. Its purpose is not to be musical, but rather to support the ensemble. It is not really audible through headphones or speakers, only harmonics are heard. The true sound of the pipe is beyond the capabilities of most electronic sound systems and even human hearing. This stop is more about being felt in the room rather than heard.
That is real music power. How interesting. Even you all did not know.
Very cool! Thanks.
Thank you for the tour, only wish the times I've been there I could have seen it up close, as I have toured other lesser organ backrooms and basements in the past. As a keyboardist, I have always been fascinated by the workings of acoustic resonances.
What is musical about that noise?
It's not supposed to be musical. It's not supposed to be used as a solo stop but, as part of a larger ensemble. It's an effect more than anything else.
Quite honestly, the full-length 64´ Trombone of the Town Hall organ in Sydney has an even more impressive sound (I guess any such garbage bag would be torn to pieces there for after all, this is "just" a Dulcian). Yet I cannot wait to hear this organ restored to its former glory and filling the Boardwalk Hall with waves of sound, because when we´re talking organs, size DOES matter 🙂
What does it sound like when it’s played in a song?
You'd be disappointed to hear it with the rest of the organ, it gets lost as it isn't very loud compared to everything else.
LOL - like a Lanz-Bulldog...
Thanks. I'm trying to figure out a very fast passage of orchestral string fioritura for an organ transcription I want to make. That software might come in handy.
Yall need to put an interlock system and a waiver for hitting the tutti fff stop once this organ is fully functioning again. That stop could probably level the building
Most unmusical, but quite a lot of fun!
Impressive until you look at and hear the full lenght 64' Contra trombone in the Sydney Town Hall organ. No cheating here!
It sounds like a drum
So why don't we just call that the John Deere notes?
Up close and without support of other ranks its sounds totally non musical.... but in combination with other ranks the true richness of a deep "set point" base shows through....
Maybe my ears don't work right, but that sound had no musical quality at all. It sounded like a farm tractor engine
It has zero musical quality on it's own. When you hear it with the rest of the organ, it underpins it. That's the whole purpose of it.
it's quite low, but compared to the sub bass in genres like amapiano, it's nothing much.
Some of the letters look like the ones you see in vertical sections of mines.
I can't even imagine how they fit all this stuff into the chambers without 3D cad to guide them. And left room for access. Did they pre-assemble each chamber in a shop before installing? But the woodwork is beautiful with everything varnished and the treads of the ladders mortised into the stringers for strength.
Chris Nagorka Diaphone is basically a Subcontrabass Diapason extension
Not really as the tone is more akin to a reed stop, it's more like a Contra Bombarde extension.
@@cnagorka So more like a Contrabass Bombarde/Diapason Hybrid
@@cnagorka It uses a Spring Loaded Pallet as the Reed
That low CCCC just sounds like someone banging on garbage cans in the alley---or dumpsters, rather.. How can that be deemed "musical" ?
It looks like a ghost 😱😱😱
Fascinating
I'm sure I can hear an underlying, slightly higher-pitch, beat frequency playing.
Now play C-1 and C♯-1 at the same time 😂😂!
C-1 (actually B-2)
That Chinese crash cymbal says 記瑞 (Rui Ji) on it, which is the store that produced and exported the cymbals between around 1914 and the 1930s.
Good info!
Good lord! ❤❤❤
Great Tour I Heard A Story About Neil Diamond Would Hire A Organist To Play While He Walked Through The Chambers He Did That To Clear His Head
Just saw there is another video of this from the hall.
It is great to see this, it might be useful to hear it in the hall with other ranks, as I am sure it's effect is best heard at a distance.
Didn't this thing almost cave the cieling in?
Nope, that falls in the urban legend category.
Simply amazing
Is this organ still being fully restored?
Yes but it's going to be another decade or so until it's done.
@@cnagorka I hope I will be alive when it’s complete
0:55 Is it just me, or is this a scary sight to see?
Love it!!
Thanks- I forgot I did this one. I think if I did it now it could be a little smoother.
Here in the UK we refer to the percussion as 'traps'!
Sometimes they're called traps here as well.
Could you feel the air coming out of the pipe? How much?
Maybe it’s just me, but why even go that low - hurts my ears!
This ladder labryinth is like playing Donkey Kong in real life. LOVE THIS VIDEO
Great comparison!
I wonder how it would sound down in the auditorium. Pretty rich !
I always think MONSTER GIANT scary looking pipes are very fascinating. So scary. 1:49. Put on slow speed.
wow
