Hi Tim,

I'm with you with that huge sound that the pipe organs create.

At our School I was told that they built the assembly room around the organ.
It stood at least 15 feet tall and had three sets of keys.

I used to be able to see back then, the organ had an arch of pipes in the middle and two smaller sets of pipes either side. The sound was so warm and so rich.

There are amazing things happening with computers but we've got a little way to go to replace the real thing.

Talking about softsynths performing like the real thing, the closest I've heard to a broad way band is on, www.sonevoxmi.com look for Broadway Band and press on link. there's a demo call "Kertain up" if my memory serves me right. this peace as so cleverly arranged, it shows off this softsynth brilliantly.

Nah, I'm an organist and we're even more obsessed with pipe lengths,
pressures and cross-sections. You'd be amazed at the size of computer you'd
need to model the airflow and resonances inside an even moderately-sized
pipe organ.

Best wishes.

To a pianist, again, that's p, I, a, n, I, s, t, it's EVERYTHING! Clearly,
you've forgotten your physics.

A B is 6 feet 10.5 inches. A D is 9 feet long. It's a model number thing.

Wow, how do you upgrade a Steinway D (grin)?

Real Piano? I hope so. (grin) It was a Steinway B from the 19th century.
The synth was an old Roland Sound Canvas. I've upgraded many times since
that CD came out in the 90s. Thanks for the kind words. Kevin

Hi Kevin Gibbs or Kern or whatever you call yourself, I call your music
wonderful and peaceful. That segment that plays on your Web page definitely
sounds like movie music to me--a nice opening theme perhaps, with lots of
kids playing in a park or by water or something like that.  What was the
instrumentation you used on that track?  I particularly like the piano,
which sounds as real as anything.  I'm always looking around for
real-sounding piano softsynths.

Keep up the good work, as they say.
