Technological advances at Johannus have produced a higher resolution of pipe sounds than anyone ever expected to achieve in digital form. With a Johannus, distinguishing between the 'digital pipe sound' and 'genuine pipe sound' is clearly more of a challenge than ever before. And as the cost of purchase and maintenance of pipe organs continually increases, the comparison to a Johannus digital pipe organ becomes ever more interesting. 2006 is a milestone for Johannus. A number of remarkable improvements and inventions have been introduced which will ensure that playing the organ will be rewarding to more players than ever before. The quality of sampling has been greatly improved; a new audio system has been employed (X.1.AUDIO) and a three dimensional echo effect developed. Johannus engineers have succeeded in designing a greatly enhanced cathedral effect: (2.1. Surround Acoustics). Other significant musical improvements are Chiff Dynamics and pipeLIFE Tuning. |
