At the touch of a button, the organ is instantly switched on and you can imagine yourself playing historic instruments such as the Vater-Müller organ in Amsterdam.
The HDSS Sampling Technology in the Johannus Vivaldi 260
With the groundbreaking recording technology High Definition Spatial Sampling (HDSS), the Vivaldi organ takes the digital organ experience to an unprecedented level. By using multiple microphones to capture the sound of each individual organ pipe, HDSS not only captures the unique timbres, but also the spatial qualities of the sounds. This results in a full and clear stereo experience that reproduces the liveliness and depth of a traditional pipe organ with incredible realism. As you play, the authentic historical organ sound comes to life and fills your surroundings.
The true-to-life acoustics without any distractions are further enhanced by the six diverse sample banks that the Vivaldi organ has to offer. With this, it literally brings a world of organ sounds within reach. From the warm, symphonic tones of the Marcussen organ in Copenhagen to the bright baroque sounds of the Hinsz organ in Kampen; each style offers a new layer of expression and musicality. The six samples are:
- Kampen - Netherlands - Bovenkerk - Hinsz - Baroque (North German)
- Dresden - Germany - Hofkirche - Silbermann - Baroque (South German)
- Amsterdam - Netherlands - Oude Kerk - Vater-Müller - Dutch-Romantic
- Copenhagen - Denmark - Helligåndskirken - Marcussen & Søn - French-Symphonic
- Liverpool - United Kingdom - Mossley Hill Church - Willis & Sons - English-Romantic
- Miami - United States - Church of the Epiphany - Ruffatti - American-Symphonic
Convolution Reverb
What makes the Vivaldi organ even more unique and impressive is the convolution reverb technology. This technology was developed by experts who visited various churches to capture the natural echoes and spatial resonances. Every note is enriched with the deep sound of a cathedral or the cosy warmth of a small chapel, which you can feel as you play.
Using the Ambience function, you can even choose from four different listening positions, allowing you to experience the reverberation as if you were present at specific locations in the church: at the organ, at the front of the church, in the middle of the church or at the back of the church. This function reinforces the experience of actually playing an impressive pipe organ, without distracting from what really matters: the music itself.
