2. SOI n HE vp rE D 4 Xe d 2000 a rro Spectral view of the sound of a flue pipe Gedackt 8 16 cent 222 09 Hz Reed pipes Organ reeds were probably originally copied from instrumental prototypes A reed stop may have a beating reed like that of a clarinet or a free reed The shallot of a beating reed pipe is roughly cylindrical in shape with its lower end closed and the upper end open section of the wall of the cylinder is cut away and finished off to a flat surface The slit or shallot opening thus formed is covered by a thin brass tongue that is fixed to the upper end of the shallot The tongue is curved and normally only partially covers the shallot opening But when wind enters the boot the pressure of the wind momentarily forces the tongue against the shallot completely closing the opening Immediately the elasticity of the brass asserts itself and the tongue reverts to its curved shape thus uncovering the opening This process is repeated rapidly 4 The frequency of the pulsations of air that enter the shallot is determined the effective length of the reed and in turn determines the pitch of the note Thence the pulsations pass out into the tube or resonator which further stabilizes the pitch and decides the quality of the note Most reed resonators have a flared shape As in flue pipes a wide scale favors a fundament

5. Stop and key mechanisms The operative part of the stop mechanism lies between the pallet and the foot holes of the pipes It normally consists of a strip of wood or plastic running the full length of each rank of pipes In it is drilled a series of holes one of which meets exactly the foot hole of each pipe The perforated strip or slider is placed in a close fitting guide in which it may be moved longitudinally When it is moved a short distance so that its holes no longer match the pipes wind is cut off to that rank even when the organist opens the pallets by means of the keys Wind chests in which the stops operate in this way are called slider chests and they were in almost universal use before the 20th century The slider is connected to the console by a system of levers and cranks and it terminates in a knob that the organist pulls outward to bring the stop into play or pushes in to silence it Certain combinations of stops on each manual are more commonly needed than others so usually there are shortcut knobs or pedals on the console called pistons When these combination or composition pedals are pushed stops connected to it are drawn on and any others that are already drawn are pushed off In order to play two or more interweaving contrasted melodic lines with two different voices soft and loud harsh and quiet together or in rapid succession multiple manuals are needed Each manual department is self contained and each con

29. e post processing The noise reduction was a critical point of the editing because we wanted to keep the high sound quality while we had to remove the noise as without removal every new note in a chord would add another unit of noise to the sound Therefore every single note was de noised with its own noise print at 96 kHz 32 bit six seven phases in average This took well over a year to complete After reducing the noise the samples were downsampled to 48 kHz 24 bit and l6 bit for the GigaStudio 2 x and the GIG program files were created and programmed For the measurements we used the same equipment with the same recording conditions but in some cases where they were appropriate we recorded the impulse responses directly in 48 kHz These measurements at both churches were a great help in having information about the natural coloration of the 43 reverb of the organ sound and allowed us to create the presets for the convolution reverb engine We took 25 to 40 second samples full minute samples in case of pedal sounds to keep the sound as natural as it can be and to avoid looping Pedal sounds had to be longer because it is quite common to have a long sustained note on the pedal As we had a very limited time in the churches and our goal was to use this time optimally to record a large number of stops and combinations there is a very small number of pedal sounds that we took only 30 second samples and created l minute samples
