CM-100 Pipe Organ Module

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing the VISCOUNT CM 100 sound module. The Company, a world leader in the
construction of fine classical organs, has installed in the CM 100 the latest and most sophisticated
technology dedicated to the high fidelity reproduction of pipe organ sounds, with impressive flexibility and
remakable quality of timbre.
After years of research exploring musical synthesis techniques, our Research and Development unit, is
the FIRST in the world to create the sounds of a pipe organ by using the "physical modeling technology"
upon which the ACCUPIPE is based.
Instead of using "sound samples" from pipe organs (previously the standard method) this revolutionary
sound generation system involves the real-time calculation of the waveform generated by a precise
mathematical model based on the sound emission physics of
a pipe organ, incorporating the principal physical parameters
ie. construction geometry, materials used, and pertaining air
pressure, etc.
The fact that the simple reproduction of memorized "sound"
has been disregarded, permits the achievement of
unimaginable realism, with the level of detail previously only
created by a traditional pipe organ.
For example, the mathematical model allows the production of
a different sound for each key since it provides the virtual
reproduction of the original instrument by assigning a different
pipe to each note, similar to a pipe organ.
Furthermore, it will generate a different sound for each
consecutive pressure of the same note, thus simulating the
precise condition of the air volume inside the pipe as it is
pressed.
The CM 100 also permits the "physical" editing of the sounds produced, by adjusting the parameters -
just as the organ builder constructs the pipes. If however, "editing" is not your forte, you may choose your
sound from a library of 176 different pre-programmed pipe organ voices already in the module's memory.
To conclude we suggest that you visit our web-site: www.viscount-organs.com where you will find
information updates and supplementary instructions on operation of the CM 100, (ADVANCED manual),
together with details about our unique range of instruments.
