Johannus Opus 27

Exciting times The new Johannus headquarters, an imposing neoclassical building is bustling with activity. A long period of successful and costly research has been clompleted. The new organs have been designed, production can begin: Truly a new milestone has been reached. In the history of Johannus several milestones can be pointed out. First of all, of course, the foundation of the business in 1968. A second milestone was the introduction of the 200/300 and 500 series with which Johannus made an international breakthrough. The third milestone was the creation of Real Time Sampling in the nineties, which Johannus developed into a highly advanced technology. Due to the fantastic sound quality of Real Time Sampling Johannus rose to the absolute top. At present we have reached the fourth milestone. This does not mean a mere change in models, but a number of remarkable improvements and inventions which will change the organ world. These will offer the organ lover really fabulous musical possibilities. Playing the organ is going to be more fun than ever. What is new? Sampling quality has been greatly improved; a new audio system has been developed (X.I AUDIO) and a three dimensional echo effect developed. Johannus engineers have succeeded in designing a greatly enhanced cathedral effect: named Stereo 3D acoustics. Other signifi cant musical improvements are Chiff Dynamics and pipeLIFE™ Tuning. The Easy Menu program was written and the research of making 12 organs in 1 was completed successfully. And last but not least, we inven- ted Physiological Tone Control. Johannus consoles have always been in a class of their own. Nevertheless, we thought that we could still improve them, so we designed entirely new cabinets for our organs. We also developed solid yet elegant drawknobs available both in high-grade synthetic material and in decorative hardwood. Almost too much to mention. After a long period of expensive research and development the hour has come at last. From now on, you can view all this beauty and listen to it. We like the new digital Johannus organs tremendously and are well aware that this introduction forms an important milestone. Small wonder, then, that we feel a warm sensation of pride each time we play the new organs or listen to them. It is this passion that we wish to convey to you. With good reason we speak of exciting times, for we have succeeded in developing a fantastic range of organs which is certain to give many organ enthusiasts worldwide great pleasure. That is highly satisfying! Gert A. van de Weerd Chairman Chiff Dynamics Blowing an organ pipe creates an effect known as released. When the same key is pressed again in chiff. This forms an essential component of the quick succession, this remaining air fl ow causes overall sound. In most electronic organs chiff is part of the chiff to be lost depending on the speed created by computer simulation. The result ranges of repetition. from poor to reasonable. In Johannus organs, Although this effect is typical of a pipe organ, however, the original recording of organ pipes is it was previously lacking in pipeless digital organs. used. Johannus Research proudly presents a new Each time a different key is pressed, the fun- breakthrough in organ technology. From now on it damental tone is preceded by chiff. Moving is possible to mirror the pipe organ effect: air remains briefl y in the pipe when the note is a tremendous step forward (patents pending). Easy Menu Large organs are seldom simple to operate.
