  1. Is anyone running Hauptwerk? I have it for gigs on laptops as a plugin hosted by Cantabile, with effects. Also run it on PC for both my studios as standalone. The one in the organ studio is hooked to an analog 3 manual drawknob Rodgers with a MIDI interface added. The synth studio one is just added via MIDI to hardware synths and has an extra push controller for presets.
  2. Then there are 'Run on Sequences'. Prog is where this is most prevalent. I like Dream Theater, but? Sequences should be three laps max. or they're too long. Repeating it over and over in every key and back is horrible. There are 20 minute prog epics where if you cut all the sequences down to three laps, there is only five minutes of music left. Ok Vivaldi can be guilty of it too. Bach knew that too much use of them also was an issue. Look at Well Temp Klav. Book 1 has lots of sequences, part of the charm. None of them are run ons though. Book 2 has considerably less sequences, which to some, makes it less appealing. Later Bach, like Art of the Fugue, has almost none. The more mature use of sequences has each lap altered a bit.
  3. I used to love working on the organs of 1st Congo LA. Eight 32 foot pipe ranks with a 64 foot digital stop is such a great sound. When you play them all together, the spotlights mounted on the bars in between the Skinner 32s up front and the Walker subs for the digital 64s in the transept shake, moving the projected light beams where they shine up and down quite a bit. First 5 rows of seats near the middle aisle, is over the middle of the basement, and in between the Walker subs right below the Skinner 32s, that is the sweet spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PA3seWoTk Number 3 in this list http://theatreorgans.com/laird/top.pipe.organs.html
  4. I remember in Grigsby's studio, one of the first projects she had everyone do on her Fairlight was programming the march from L'Histoire du Soldat. The score is on 7 staffs plus drums, but violin and contrabasse has double stops. Getting around the 8 voice limit was easy. While programming all your sounds, the various double stop intervals were done as additional separate patches. As it ran, the violin and the contrebasse parts had to switch patches to play the double stops.
