Hi ! I now notice that the soundfont host program "sfz" (free download from http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfz.htm) now claims it supports polyphony of 256 voices...
Russ ... Wonder if there's any progress in this. My disappointment comes from taking apart a half dozen or so keyboards that ALL have those plastic sheet ...
Hi ! Perhaps I should have been a little more specific in my previous post. MidiTzer 0.4 is great, and now I can get it to see my keyboard OK and send its...
Hi Claire, I haven't done a full test on sfz with MidiTzer, but I have been working on it with jOrgan and it seems to work ok. I did, however, do a quick test...

Mike, One thing confuses me a little about your detailed procedure...You say: "Don't worry about the bank". But MidiTzer (as configured by default) will send...
The Miditzer does not use voice change messages to implement the stops. It can't. There is a fundamental disconnect between the MIDI concept of instrument...
Claire, MidiTzer only sets up the voice/prog changes initially, one rank per midi channel. Then, when you turn stops on or off, MidiTzer simply maps each note...
Hi Lynn, I'd say you're right about only one soundfont at a time. I think I've read that sfz+ (the not free player) allows you to load multiple fonts. The...

Hi Claire, I wonder if Cubase is in the way. Try using sfz alone, without Cubase. I've got my sfz set to MIDI-In on MidiYoke 4, and obviously Miditzer is...
Hi All, Can anyone give me an idea about sampling organ ranks? Does one have to sample each note? if so, for how long. Also Can I use a regular high quality...
This is a BIG undertaking. The answer to your questions is basically, "How good a result do you want?" Followed quickly by, "How much time are you willing to...
Hi Paul, I haven't done anything more on this. I bought a compact keyboard with none of the number or other keys on and made a stand for it. It sits on top of...
While reworking a computer keyboard is the rock bottom cheapest way to get pistons IF you can find a free keyboard WITH construction that is amenable to an...
I am testing the "Miditzer Marketplace" at www.VirtualOrgan.com/Marketplace/ There are two goals: 1. Provide a collected listing of hardware that works with...
Thanks Jim, That might be my next project as I am just finishing getting my Swell Pedals and crescendo Pedal working. Again with one of Vern's boards. Russ...
The miracle of what Jim has done is that ever since MIDI was created in-mid 80's we have been told that the organ concept could not work on MIDI. MIDI was not...
Hi MIDITZer users . Although few of the samll Wurli's. didn;t have piano-and we are now using Bruce's m110 -we would like to add a piano stop- doable ? Dale...
Mike and MIDItzer crew: Pipevoice and I borrowed a few -esp. John Tays claranet from his SF's and moved them to 25 from 26 where we installed them and that...
Hi George, What you are proposing is no simple task. There is little documentation for organ sampling but the best on the web is written by Martin Dyde the...
Have to hand it to Jim for keeping the vision clear for the original organ, not a "dream" everything organ. He once wrote: "the Style 216 forces you to think ...
Hi Paul, I read your post a few times and I think that it ties in with a conversation that I was having with Len Rawle at the ATOS Convention. As I understand...
Russ, You bring up a good point. The new Allen Quantum uses a system licensed from Lake Technologies that samples the "Room". This is combined with their...
Hi Dale, Great question. Follow me over to the Miditzer Forum learn how to do this. http://www.virtualorgan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53&PN=1&TPN=1 ...
Jim, Are these Program Change vs. Pistons codes documented (somewhere I have not been able to locate)? If so please point me to this info; if not, will they...
They were documented on the old MidiTheatreOrgan.com site but that information is now inaccessible as we switch things over to www.VirtualTheatreOrgan.com. In...
... There are two "schools" of pipe organ sampling going on, for two quite different purposes. One samples pipe organs in their particular environment for...
Interestingly there another restauration project close to the Rialto and that is the historic Fox Theatre. As opposed to the Rialto the Fox will have an organ....
Hi everyone, Thank you so much to all those that made comments about hosting soundfonts for MidiTzer without a SoundBlaster card (i.e using the program sfz). ...
Ah, the mysteries of acoustics. The answers, my friend, to provide the great environment an orchestra or organ installation enjoys, are more than blowin' in...
