[@KurtWoloch]

I think it could have been done in a different way, but I don't know if it's possible to do this automatically... at the part where the organ is put together, around 9:17 you can see the pipes having different timbres. Without the upper part, a tone similar to an "uh" is generated at 9:17, and then, when the upper part gets stuck in, the sound generated shifts towards an "o"... I thought the speech would be generated this way, but instead, it was generated by playing multiple notes at once. And then there doesn't seem to be a way to properly do the unvoiced parts... the "s" and "t" and so on.

[@bobgarske9579]

Looong ago, I saw a large church organ at Goodwill Industries' " Bargain Barn" ( the last stop for items that didn't sell in their retail stores ). It was Baldwin model 5 electronic organ with a large separate speaker cabinet (someone had removed the 8 12" drivers, dang'em! ). When I asked how much time I had to decide to buy it, the warehouseman looked at his watch and answered " oh, about 25 minutes, because it's scheduled for the dump tomorrow!"I bought it for $50 U.S., took it home and hooked it up to an old console stereo and the whole family used it for years. I then moved to another location that hadn't enough space for it ( neither did the moving van ), and an older sister took it for HER family to use. Several years after that, her local church was starting a organ fundraiser for their new "sattelite" church. My sister invited the pastor to dinner. Sly one that she is, she'd already got her family to agree to donate the organ to their church if the pastor accepted it. When the pastor arrived for dinner, there was a giant red satin bow tied around the organ and a note stating " God does indeed work in mysterious ways!". Upon reading the card, the pastor shed a few tears as he tested the organ. He stood, and accepted the gift for his church. The moral of the story: NEVER treat a working thing like trash! It may have taken 6 YEARS for the organ to find it's proper home, but by GOD it finally did.

[@manuchoulier9448]

I love it, what an insane project! If you want to go deeper into voice simulation, or any sound for this matter, you could try to take into acount the timbre of each pipe. That would mean having an audio recording of each individual pipe to get the frequency spectrum of them (or of each grouping of pipe and then pitch shift), and then process audio signal -such as voice- in order to compute a midi file that, once played on your organ, would match even better human voice. Since the organ has such a wide array of timbre across the pipes, this method may produce a more refined speech-like result. Anyway, i really love your work :)

[@jmcarp0]

You dont need a 4' principal when you've got a whole museum full of electronic oscillators including hand held keyboards.

[@cliveso]

@@jmcarp0 Well, no, you do, or it's better. As a matter of physical fact, you can never tune a pipe perfectly against a reference - there will always be some deviation. Let's say you can get it within 1 Hz. If you tune two pipes of the same pitch against an electronic reference, and each pipe is up to 1 Hz out, then the two pipes can be 2 Hz out with respect to each other. If instead you take one pipe as reference and tune another pipe against it, the two pipes will be up to 1 Hz out with respect to each other. It is less important whether each note is in tune according to some mathematically perfect reference; it's far more important that all the pipes at the same pitch internally agree. Also, pitch changes with temperature, and all the flue pipes drift more or less together. If you tune everything against an electronic reference, then by the time you finish tuning the last rank, it is likely that the temperature has changed, so that the last rank does not agree with the first rank. The organ building world is super backwards in general and is ripe for modernisation. But certain things are grounded in physics and won't change with improved technology. Replacing antiquated pneumatic parts with solenoid valves - great. Tuning everything against a digital tuner - bad. Basically, need to understand things properly and make informed changes.

[@RobinRense]

My hands are itching to touch that thing! Wonderful job! Edit: I'm originaly a pianist, but I was allowed to play the organ at the local church whenever I liked.

Ok, the ending was like something out of a 1980s movie. Whoa. In all seriousness, these your creativity and imagination are a pleasure to experience. Surely there is some sort of fellowship/endowment that awards money in order to allow people like yourself to pursue these fantastic endeavors unabated. I won’t use the word genius, but brilliant comes to mind and maybe that is not adequate enough to describe your work. Love it all.

Things like your channel and getting to see the work you do is what make the internet worth all the bullshit. The expertise and passion you have for what you do is fantastic

No previous interest in church organs but here I am watching your progress on this and also watching Richard restore an 1800's church organ on his UK fm cb radio servicing channel , think the fact these came from a time when we actually made things peaked my interest , he's a time served organ restorer and electrical technician your a maverick electronics and mechanical genius with unnatural talent for getting stuff working , both are fascinating in their own right and both are top viewing .

Favourite project todate. Formant Organ. Midi controlled and used as a sampler...genius! Well done Sam and friend.

Something about the organ saying "came and ripped me apart" is going to give me night terrors. Much love, fantastic work.

This is great. I really love the detail of the hymn board which nobody else seems to be talking about. It's a great finishing touch.

Those clarinet flutes sound so freaking fantastic.
