The Organ Sings!The Allen Quantum™ Organ used in this recording is a 3-manual 80-stop/320-voice instrument. Two outstanding new developments are involved in Quantum™ technology:

1) Four complete 80-stop organs are installed in the console; American Classic, English Cathedral, French Romantic, and Neo-Baroque. All are able to be individually voiced and finished.

2) Acoustic Portrait™ is the organ world’s first real-time digitally sampled room reverberation system. The system was developed by Lake Technology, a DOLBY Company, and is exclusively licensed worldwide to the Allen Organ Company. As has been said by many noted organ authorities, “The most important stop on the organ is the room.” Allen Organ now brings the science of sampling to pipes and rooms in real-time.

As Dr. Nyquist states, “All organs need vibrant acoustics, if outstanding musical results are desired! An organ without acoustics is like a piano without a soundboard—not musically acceptable.”
