I have to agree with Ralph. It is amazing how many times I hear pipe organs and think they are digital...we are so used to differing pipe from digital by listening to certain inherent 'flaws' in pipe tonal production that digital organ now carry as well, that pipe organs tha have these 'flaws' eliminated by design or engineering begin to sound too precise and 'good'... WHy are there those taht prefer analog sound? The first organs to use sampled chimes were often criticized..and stil are. for the chimes sounding too much like someone actually striking a chime rod...whcih of course is what chimes are. Analog intrumetns had a very difficult time generating the hum note of the chime, that is, the note that soudsn almost an octave lower that the struck pitch. Creating chimes out of equally tempered oscillators will not permit quarter tones, for example. noel jones ____________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe or set to vacation, go to www.frogmusic.com/rodgersmem.html If you have any difficulty with this or PayPal, please contact noeljones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for help!
