“Control systems for pipe organs are becoming increasingly powerful -- and complicated. I am pleased to say that Virtuoso is different: while it is certainly powerful, as it includes a huge memory and countless functions, it is at the same time simple to use. Not only for the organist, also for the organ builder! Easy to understand, to install, to service.

“The organ builder’s expectations are: reliability, ease of installation and operation, good customer service. From direct experience we can state that in all of these areas Virtuoso is second to none. Its technical and operational features make it a dream to use.”

Cameron Carpenter
"The Maverick Organist", Grammy nominee

“Virtuoso is by far the most intelligent and intuitively conceived control system I have ever encountered in a pipe organ. Most importantly as a player, though, is that Virtuoso is by far the most responsive system I've experienced. I have been dismayed on more than one occasion to find computer systems by other builders failing, whether by dropping notes, losing combinations in concert, or demonstrating other processing-related stress failures. Not so with Virtuoso, whose installation at Spivey Hall I have put through the most arduous tests I could muster.”

“...the system is very well designed and built, and allows me to make configuration changes on-site. Few microprocessor-based systems grant the builder this control. Also, the IOTI staff are some of the easiest and most accommodating people with whom I have had the pleasure to work.”

“I have seen the future of organ control systems, and Virtuoso is it.”

Organist, Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church, Lafayette, Louisiana

“Our Lady of Fatima has now had Virtuoso installed for more than three years. As we have gained familiarity with Virtuoso over this time, we have been pleasantly surprised by benefits we never anticipated. We have discovered valuable features that are unique to Virtuoso. We periodically receive enhancements at no charge, a service that I believe is unique to IOTI. And our three years of experience has proven that IOTI is a most reliable supplier. In an industry that is considered ‘mature’, I continue to be surprised at the innovations that IOTI delivers, the Tuning Assistant being the latest. The net result is that we continue to get more and more value from our investment in Virtuoso. All of this is a complement to a product that has proven to be rock-solid.

I can say without reservation this is the finest control system I have experienced, and no company I have dealt with has given the level of support and service we receive from IOTI.”

“Installation is simple. It is so intuitive, we felt comfortable with the system right away. When we turned it on the first time, it came right up and did what it was supposed to. There was nothing tempermental about it. It just worked ... first time.”

“IOTI installed their Virtuoso control system in the brand new Ruffatti organ at Uppsala Cathedral, Sweden, in the fall of 2008. We who use the organ on a daily basis are delighted with the results. The Virtuoso control system is easy to use, very fast, very efficient and includes a wide range of useful features that are not be found in other control systems. I thoroughly recommend the work of IOTI to both organists and organ builders.”
