Opus 17 SE

Opus 17 has a number of extra voices compared to the Opus 7. In addition, this organ has a wooden roll cover. The console has a classical radiance and has defined the Johannus style for ages. With its 12 intonations, this is a very complete organ.

12 different organs

The magnicent variety of the organ literature requires organs diverging in sound, intonation and tonal quality. The Johannus Opus 17 offers the organ lover three basic varieties: Baroque, Symphonic and Romantic, each of which has as many as four different intonations: Classical, Solo, Hymn and Trio. Twelve organs in all. Get ready for an overwhelming musical experience

All diapason and reed stops are in C-Cis chest layout, just like in most pipe organs. Our multi-channel system allows these voices to sound very natural in your room.

The acoustic Stereo 3D allows you to constantly adjust the reverb and set it according to your living room. You will feel as if you are actually playing in a church.

Physiological Tone Control 

When an organist closes the swell box of a pipe organ, the volume gradually decreases, especially of the higher frequencies. Re-opening the swell box creates a thrilling sensation as the higher frequencies again blossom into full glory.

Chiff Dynamics

Blowing an organ pipe creates an effect known as chiff. This forms an essential component of the overall sound. In most electronic organs chiff is created by computer simulation. The result ranges from poor to reasonable. In Johannus organs, however, the original recording of organ pipes is used. Each time a different key is pressed, the fundamental tone is preceded by chiff. Moving air remains briefly in the pipe when the note is released. When the same key is pressed again in quick succession, this remaining air flow causes part of the chiff to be lost depending on the speed of repetition. Although this effect is typical of a pipe organ, it was previously lacking in pipeless digital organs.

Temperaments

Via the Easy menu, the Opus gives you three different temperaments: Equal Temperament, Meantone and Werckmeister III.
