Eh, we're usually pretty chill about letting people use our organs. They're meant to be played, and good ones are rugged enough to last for hundreds of years under regular use. You're not gonna break them by playing them, and we're more than willing to let you experiment. A lot of us got into organ because of the enormous number of possibilities they have, so seeing this stuff as a classical organist is pretty cool. And the added benefit is that videos like this spread the organ to a wider audience, which it definitely deserves. Cheers!

Oh, absolutely no doubt the stops could be controlled with SysEx commands! If the organ console is that modern and implements MIDI, I'm sure they allowed for external control of the stops. You can essentially do that with the registration pistons under each keyboard already. It's how organists change "patches" so quickly. They set up the stops, then save them as a registration on one of the pistons. These consoles are amazing. They often have couplers between manuals (keyboards) so one manual can play pipe stops from another manual, or the pedals. It's super cool stuff. 😊

Little did they realize that all 9 divisions have their own MIDI channel. The channels weren’t tied to the keyboards or pedalboard. You could have 9 unique parts & sounds running at the same time, not just 6. The 3 divisions (portions) that aren’t explicitly tied to a keyboard have a switch (‘coupler’) that connects them to an existing keyboard. These are called floating divisions.

Not whith the distance involved in such a large, live room and how it echoes about so much. You can feel the low notes of the organ through the pews you sit in, through your feet.

The solution might be to adjust (i.e. time align) the playback within the Midi file or rather the DAW accordingly. A similar thing is done with delay lines in huge venues all the time ... but on the other hand ... you'd have to define where in the building the sweet spot (acoustic point zero) is supposed to be.

This video, having come back for like the 8th time in the past 18 months, is one of those rare cases of being a video that manages to draw you in completely and entirely. The technical curiosity to chase this idea of feeding midi into the organ, the problem solving and desire to push on despite it not functioning, the absolute awe when it first works and the majesty of hearing your own (Rob's) music in a fresh and interesting environment. Playing with this new and fun idea, getting Necrophagous and testing a pipe (hehe) dream about it sounding like Bach, giggling at Super Mario and then the utterly awe inspiring, triumphant but sombre Bohemian Rhapsody. A very poignant and present reminder of just how significant the impact Queen had universally in the reactions of everyone there.

The organ is an instrument of all superlatives. Its size, complexity, versatily, history... I can imagine someone who's learnt to play such an incredible instrument could easily overlook Rob's interest, like "who's that guy anyway ? Some random musician making videos on the internet ?"... On the opposite, John has always been keen on sharing is knowledge and passion. And he is seen here sharing the joy and excitement of Rob, experimenting something no one has tried before. This is what real musicians are about. They are so dedicated to music, they love it so deep in their heart, that they're not making it a matter of ego. And that's what made this video even more enjoyable to watch for me.

I just want Rob and Wintergatan, going around the world, messing with building sized instruments

Wouldn't reach anywhere near the same feeling. Neither those microphones nor youtube would capture the full range made by a pipe organ. A big part of their "power" comes from sub sonic frequencies with some of the largest organs (quite possibly including this one) going into deep into single digit frequencies.

Rob, you made a friend for life! If you ever compose a piece for organ(or let Adam Neely know he can) John will surely help, and we'll get some fantastic performances! Nice one! I'm so glad you persisted with the MIDI question.

Literally would empty my wallet to sit in the middle of this and listen to them play all kinds of music! Amazing instrument, I have no doubt in my mind. I can only hope and wish to hear an organ of this size in person let alone even play it. One of the only downsides to having such cool, expensive and hard to reach instruments.

I teach audio engineering will be using this video as a tool when we explore MIDI in the future.

It wasn't hooked up and I can't go through all that to make this work. But he was more than willing to work through that hurdle and make this happen. It shows John's creative passion for this instrument and his willingness to share it with the world, and that's such an amazing gift.

@@Vanlifecrisis Honestly, given that the interface was there, and the plugs were mounted in a handy (if well hidden) connection box under the keyboard, this was obviously intended as a feature of the organ. Not hooking it up when they built it had to be an oversight. As such, it should be covered by the cost of the organ itself, and I can't imagine that was cheap.

There’s a lovely album called Nachthorn by Maxime Denuc that is based off this concept. It’s ambient electronic music played through a massive organ, similar to this. Very relaxing and powerful at the same time, worth a listen if you want to hear the different sections of an organ play more in unison.
