SIMULATING WIND-CHESTS WITH THE PRESTIGE
The output configuration can be set using the EXTERNAL VOICES ROUTER function in the
MIDI&UTILITY menu
This display function allows you to select one of the four output Presets developed by our research,
which reflect the most classical arrangements of pipes with the wind-chests, and of the wind-chests
themselves in large churches and cathedrals.
Two Presets (
Family 1
and
Family 2
) group the outputs together by voice families, while the other
two (
Divisional 1
and
Divisional 2
) programme the outputs by divisions (sections) of the organ.
This means that all the voices in a given family or on a manual are only found in one group of
outputs (in Family 1, for example, all the Principals are only transmitted on outputs [1], [2] and
[3]), while another family of voices or another manual will be present on another group of outputs.
These groups of outputs are called “
Zones
”.
These divisions of outputs into Zones allow the layout of real wind-chests inside churches to be re-
created very easily.
Apart from this, within each Zone the voices are emitted with simulation of the most appropriate
type of wind-chest (central peak, two wings, see previous description). A Principal 16' may be
distributed to the outputs with simulation of a wind-chest with single wing on the right, while a
Principal 8' may be distributed as a single wing on the left, inside the same output zone.
It is as if there were two wind-chests containing different pipe arrangements, but in the same
position inside the church. Below you will find a description of the four output Presets available.
The output zones and voices they contain are listed underneath the illustration.
Zone A: Flutes and Cornets
Zone B: Principals, Violas, Mixtures
Zone C: Reeds, Chimes
Zone A: all 64’, 32’ and 16’ voices
Zone B: Flutes, Principals, Violas, Chimes,
Cornets and Mixtures (except for those in
zone A)
Zone C: Reeds
Zone D: Tuba Mirabilis (Festival Trumpet)
