Hello,

My Father being a Pipe organ player, he decided, a few month ago, to built an electric classic organ to practice at home.
The 4 Keyboards were made by Hoffrichter.
The software used is Hauptwerk, running under WinXP Pro on a dual processor computer
(2Go Ram, E-MU sound Card).

The Wooden console was hand made by my father.

The Midi project was to command the sound selection using Stops knobs (like in church organ).
This was made using the MidiIO128 project.

As I got lot's of help from the ucapps forum to realize this project, i wanted to post some photos for you.

Here is the Finished Organ:

Here is the detail of the Stops Knobs Switch Matrix

At the bottom of this matrix, one per side, A MidiIn Card...

Now, the system mounted with the Stops Knobs....

Thank you again for your Help. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible....

Regards,

Alex

Thank you for all your great comments !!!

I can't remember how long it takes to my father... I will say 2 or 3 weeks full time job...

The sound is also amazing. Hauptwerk is said to be the best church organ software...

Wow, you sure your dad aint an organ builder ? ;)

I see you have 6 pistons on the choir manual, are those working ? if it does, do the stops move automatically when you change the presets ?.

and is the computer screen behind the music rack ?

hello,

the six pistons are working... For the moment they are sued to link the keyboards...

The stops are not motorized. We thought about that, but to difficult (mecanicly speaking) and much more expensive to do...

Maube later on....

Hello,

I use hauptwerk to and i know what sound is.
Play on your instrument would be like in a church ( less cold in winter).
Did your father make a plan of this work because i would like to do something like that.If it is, could you post it?

Best regards.
