JOHANNUS Sweelinck Series

• Romantic, Symphonic, and Baroque voices denote three complete organs with differing styles of voicing that are contained within the instrument. These allow the performance of various types of music on an organ voiced as the composer intended.
• The voicing styles indicated above may be modified further using the speaking characterists namely; Classic, Solo, Trio, or Hymn. Together with the three voicing characteristics, this can result in twelve differing organs (intonations), all contained within the same instrument.
• Orchestral Solo stops are created from either actual instruments and converted to organ pipe sounds, or are sampled from organ pipes imitative of their orchestral counterparts, such as, "Orchestral Clarinet".
  Orchestral voices for the Sweelinck Series include: Carillon/Chimes/Chrysoglot, Harp/Celesta/Harpsichord, Warm Strings/Strings/Orchestal Strings, Tremolo Organ/Gospel Organ/Tibia Organ, and Timpayi/Contrabass/Tuba.
• The Physiological Swell Pedal mimics the acoustical effect of swell shades opening and closing, i.e., the high frequencies are attenuated more quickly that the lower frequencies as the shutters close.
• Dynamic Chiff responds as do pipes by varying the chiff as the pipes are played more quickly or more slowly.

A Sweelinck may be seen, heard, or played in the First Baptist Church, Bedford, Texas.
We would be pleased to take you there.
