Information Technology and Electronics
When the organ is powered on, a large data system is also activated. Although the sounds of the organ are purely acoustic, information technology and electronics are required to control the organ’s functions. These technologies enable the organ to feature an exceptional number of special functions. In addition to allowing the organist to save their stop selections for each piece, they can also record their performance, storing it in the organ's memory, and later listen to their playing from a distance.
Contemporary composers can also take advantage of the possibilities offered by electronics in completely new ways. These technologies manipulate the organ’s normal functions, restricting the airflow to the pipes and affecting their tonal quality. Stops can be partially opened, allowing only some of the air to reach the pipes in a particular stop. During a performance, it is also possible to let certain sounds continue, creating a continuous tone that can be combined with normal playing. All of these settings, along with the stop choices, can be saved in the organ's memory, enabling effects to be introduced at specific moments as the piece progresses.
This organ also incorporates MIDI technology, which opens up possibilities for combining electronic elements, such as sound, lighting, and other special effects, into the performance.
