This shows that midi is an electronic form of the old organ books, here the proces is reversed, use midi files to punch the books. This certainly saves an immense amount of time, using a plotter instead of having to punch the books by hand.

I enjoyed his version of smooth criminal so much that I downloaded it and listened to it on a loop, this video answers so many questions I had. I'm so glad he did this, merci beaucoup.

Super cool. Amazing how well this works musically. Very impressive

Maestro, thank you for sharing this gem with us.

[@noelaruldas1152]

Nowadays barrel organ is electronically imitated by demo of electronic keyboard to demonstrate the learners to play melody on keyboard (not only electronic keyboard but also organ and piano). Even some quartz clocks too electronically imitates the tunes played by barrel organ to mark the hours. Both electronic keyboard and quartz musical clocks contains electronically recorded and programmed circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker.

[@SamHallas1949]

Fascinating. However I should point out that it's a street organ. Barrel organs, oddly enough, have a barrel with pins to play the notes.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Yes, unfortunately somehow, probably due to it being found in old dictionaries copied onto some websites, the term “barrel organ” has persisted as a catch-all for all outdoor mechanical organs, even though it only truly properly refers to those organs (indoor and outdoor) which play from a pinned cylinder. The correct terms are street organ, band/fairground organ, or dance organ, depending upon the type of use and tonal scheme of the instrument. Some indoor cylinder instruments are known as “flute clocks”; chamber” barrel organs, “salon” barrel organs, or “orchestrions” depending upon their disposition and construction.

[@apiaristicone9585]

what software is that you use please?

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Different arrangers use different software. I don’t know what he is using in the video, but at least two programs are available especially for arranging music for automatic organs. One was developed by Melvyn Wright in around 1988(!) and is available from him on his website here. This software can only be used for instruments up to 64 keys/keyless: www.melright.com/busker/editor.htm Another is called “Noteur” has been developed by Piet Paarkedam in Netherlands, and is available here, together with a “partner” program called “MIDIBoek” which helps create print templates to attach over blank cardboard or paper for manually punching out cardboard books or paper rolls: draaiorgelweb.nl/software/ Finally, organ grinder Wallace Venable has a list of resources for organ arrangers on his website here: www.wallace-venable.name/mechanical-music/Resources-4-Noteurs.html

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Unlike magnetic tape, cardboard book and paper roll music does not tend to stretch, and since it's not magnetic, there's nothing to demagnetize 😃

[@Jmnewman2]

What make and model organ is this?

[@andrewbarrett1537]

It's made by Odin organs in France, but I don't know the model name or number. It has 42 notes, is fully chromatic, and obviously is a cardboard book street organ with what look and sound like all flute-type pipes (no strings, and no reeds). There are both stopped and open flutes, ans also a small rank of brass piccolos (flauto traverso) in the lower center.

He is creating the sheet.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

I am pretty sure these arrangements are from scratch and not adapted from other people's MIDIs. The latter usually gets poor results anyway IMO.
