Until Renaissance, the goal of every digital organ was the faithful reproduction of pipe sound. The realism provided by Renaissance convinced Allen’s development team that the most significant improvement to future organ development could be achieved by advancing a different, but equally crucial part of the organ’s digital system; the instrument’s mixing and acoustical enhancement. Allen embarked on a large development project that has resulted in Quantum™ technology for Renaissance organs.

How advanced is Allen’s Quantum technology? Here is an interesting comparison. A digital organ that produces CD quality sound without convolution requires only about 100,000 calculations per second for each sound. Quantum organs include about 4,000 times that capacity to create convolution alone! Combine this with high-speed circuitry, and an eight-layer printed circuit board, and you have the most advanced computer processing power ever placed in a musical instrument.

While Quantum’s technological statistics are amazing, it is the musical result provided by this technology that is truly fantastic. Just as with the earliest Allen digital organs, Quantum is the new benchmark of design and performance that will chart the course for the future of organ building!
