The pipe organ is
generally considered among church musicians as the "king of all
instruments" because of the wealth of voices and registrations it
can produce. It is a powerful, majestic instrument that has
traditionally served religious institutions for centuries in
accompanying both congregational hymns and in solo performances.
Ever since a
respectable alternative to the pipe organ has been manufactured, the
digital organ has increasingly become a choice for church ministry.
Similar to the advancements made in computer science during the past
twenty years, the technology of digital sampling and tone fidelity
has progressed in developing the voices that a digital organ can
generate.
Ahlborn-Galanti organs
utilize the remarkable and proprietary DRAKETM technology
to faithfully reproduce the sound of real wind blown pipes.
GeneralMusic's engineering division developed this new DRAKETM technology
so that choice pipe ranks can be digitally recorded, pipe-by-pipe,
on-site in their natural acoustical settings. This unique DRAKETM technology
has ushered in a new era of personalization with large palettes of
tonal color derived from huge on-board stop lists, all customizable
to the organist's taste and satisfaction. The tonal results and
unprecedented feature set of the Ahlborn-Galanti organ must be heard
to be believed.
