Tracker & Electric Pipe Organ Comparission

MECHANICAL TRACKER SYSTEMS AND "UNIT" BODY: COMPARISSION

MAIN VIEWS:

Perspective view: Mechanical body:
Air pressure entrance between "barrages" introduces an important time delay, and lazy attacks.
Moreover, pipe control are addressed by row (stops) and columns (notes)
A random pallet control is impossible.
On the contrary, electronic control can open any pallet magnet from any notes and stop control.

Sets including bodies + registers involves often failures.
Moreover, displacements betwen barrages and table are frequent.

even on new pipe Organs. Manufacturers hardly suppress these defaults by little hole at the pipe bottoms.

Mechanical tracking introduces an important inertia for the keyboard touchs, due to the transmission weights.

(mechanical or pressure based).

"UNIT SYSTEM BODIES"
and electronic control:

Electronic control can either be adapted to mechanical or unit type Organs.
Any pallet(s) can be opened from any key
New virtual stops can be computed, using always real pipes, i.e. mixtures

For example: plein jeu, computed on the "prestant" and "flute", with exclusively real Pipes.

Time delay suppression between pallet opening and air introduction.

For reeds, a short tube can be introduced, for softening sound emission.

Progressive control possibility by using 2 magnets
Register suppression , more simple bodies: Pipes are directly put on tables and electronically controlled.
No longer barrages (no longer glue with table)
Mechanical parts suppression (abrégés, vergettes)
Only one mobile part: pallet + magnet iron.

Summary:

Increased fiability, drastic cost reduction, volume reduction,
Any pallet(s) can be opened from any key
No longer costly mechanical or air-based transmission systems (barker style)

For stops and note controls :

Much more possibilities in terms of computed stops, using always real pipes, i.e. mixtures
Accurrate and reduced sound pipe emission delay.
