ATLANTA, October 3, 2006 — Integrated Organ Technologies, Inc. today announced the availability of the Virtuoso pipe organ control system. The Virtuoso is believed to be the first fully integrated control system in the history of pipe organ technology. Remarked IOTI CEO Dwight Jones, “Our system has been designed from the ground up to state of the art standards for reliability, compactness, and ease of installation and operation.”
The new system will be exhibited at the American Institute of Organbuilders convention in Seattle, October 8 to 13.
Mr. Jones, an electronics engineering Ph.D. and successful electronics entrepreneur, has had a life-long passion for the pipe organ. Some years ago, he installed a mid-sized instrument in his home. Unsatisfied by the control systems available on the market, he decided to build a better one. “We then spent several years working with organists, organ builders, installers, supply companies and others to shape the architecture and implementation of the Virtuoso system. The result is a solution that shields the organ builder from the complexity typical of other systems on the market today.”
Comprehensive, But Compact. The Virtuoso system packs an unmatched feature set into a compact package that respects and conforms to the traditions of the organ building craft established through the centuries.
Easy to Install. No longer do organ builders have to deal with a complex array of specialized note driver boards, crescendo, combination action, sequencer, sforzando, piston and stop inputs, etc. The Virtuoso is designed around just 14 parts. No longer do installers have to worry about programming. Keying, capture action, MIDI, sequencer, memory levels—everything—is implemented simply by making an entry in a spreadsheet. Never has instrument installation been easier or faster. The job of the organ builder becomes simply a matter of connecting the wire from each organ component to the right I/O point.
Reliable. The Virtuoso pipe organ control system has been engineered and ruggedly constructed for maximum reliability. Modern automated surface mount/wave solder technology, fiber optic communications, flash memory, and object oriented software all increase reliability. In the three years since the first Virtuoso was installed it has yet to fail.
