Mounting The unit is intended to be located near the keyboards within an organ console because of the amount of wiring to those keyboards It should be placed so that the connections are readily accessible Four holes are provided in the side flanges so that it may be screwed to the wooden parts of the console The holes are 0 2 inch diameter and will take up to a 10 screw if necessary However since the unit is not heavy a 6 or 8 screw will be sufficient The unit may be mounted in any convenient place Its orientation is not important Connections There are three essential connections and two optional connections The latter will depend on the use of the MCU The user must connect Power MIDI and input connections for keyboards stops and or pistons RCA Phono jacks a 3 5mm headphone connector and a 6 pin DIN connector for tuning an Ahlborn Archive unit are provided Cables and hardware for these connections is available separately Power The MCU requires between 9V and 15V DC power at a minimum current of 400mA There are several ways to provide power to the MCU according to the application 1 If the MCU were to be used as a standalone unit the most convenient method of providing power would be to use the supplied 2 1mm ID Co axial DC wall adaptor 2 However if the MCU is to be used as part of an organ the 4 input terminal block can be connected to an existing organ power supply making power and groun

To alleviate this confusion the MIDI Manufacturers Association dictated that commands termed Patch numbers would be the standard reference to a sound A Patch Map shows Patch numbers and their respective sounds In addition since MIDI transmits using MIDI channels every MIDI sequence begins by assigning a MIDI channel for each sound that is transmitted This assignment is termed Program Change In addition to standardizing the mapping of patch numbers to their respective sounds the General MIDI protocol defines a set of capabilities for General MIDI instruments Included are a General MIDI Sound Set patch map a General MIDI Percussion map maps percussion sounds to note numbers and a set of General MIDI performance capabilities number of voices MIDI messages recognized etc MIDI channels 1 9 and 11 16 are used for chromatic instrument sounds while MIDI channel 10 is used for key based percussion sounds Furthermore the 128 program numbers are grouped into related sounds sets For example program numbers 1 8 are for piano sounds 25 32 are guitar sounds etc a chart is shown on the next page A note number indicates the pitches of the sounds Note numbers on the key based percussion sounds of MIDI Channel 10 represent different percussion instruments It should be noted that although sounds may have the same label they might not necessarily produce the same sound from different manufacturers

43. 009 CLASSIC ORGAN WORKS 19 MIDI CONTROL UNIT MCU 1 MIDI SPECIFICATION HAUPTWERK 7 The Hauptwerk German for Great Organ system provides a computer simulation of a pipe organ It produces a realistic organ sound by use of a virtual sampler technique Traditionally synthesizers and MIDI used a small number of samples by recording keys at intervals across the keyboard In order to simulate all the keys the samples were time stretched Hauptwerk uses a three to five second sample of every pipe in the organ To accommodate the intensive requirement for memory a personal computer must be used With current technology thousands of individual sample sounds can be stored and recalled when a key is pressed Thus the software is able to capture many different and customizable organ configurations and sounds that can be loaded via organ files The organ file contains information regarding number of stops pistons and keyboards in addition to other organ related details Hauptwerk was initially designed for use with one MIDI keyboard that would be connected to the personal computer through the sound card game port When numerous keyboards were required a MIDI merge box would have to be purchased This revised MCU not only handles the MIDI merge function but also provides an interface for volume controls expression controls stops pistons pedalboard and keyboards MIDI messages are sent through the MIDI out port to t

I was not designed for a complex musical instruments such as the organ Thus the application of the MIDI standard to the organ is subject to organ builders preferences and standards are still evolving On the MCU stop switches are connected to input pins When switches such as drawknobs rocker tabs and pushbuttons are activated the microprocessor identifies the switch action and generates a MIDI message to indicate a switch on or switch off Piston switches are also connected to the input pins However when piston switches are activated a MIDI message is sent to select a combination of stops The piston and stop switches allow the MCU 1 to simultaneously drive up to four Ahlborn Archive Series modules that generate pipe organ voices In addition any MIDI controlled sound module or PC based synthesizer software may be connected Typical units would be Hauptwerk virtual organs or Viscount Accupipe CM 100 pipe voice modules There is also provision for an optional internal plug in General MIDI sound generator Classic type GM 9773 Five analog input pins can be configured for volume expression tuning and crescendo By adjusting the analog device a voltage on the analog input pin is interpreted by the microprocessor In the case of a volume adjustment a MIDI message will detail to the MCU 1 Manual Version 1 5 Issue 3 2009 06 15 2009 CLASSIC ORGAN WORKS 7 MIDI CONTROL UNIT MCU 1 INTRODUCTION MIDI controlled
