A world of organ sounds at your fingertips

The Vivaldi feels like an instrument ready to make music. With a single touch, you immerse yourself in the majestic sounds of world-famous organs, such as the historic Vater-Müller organ in Amsterdam or the monumental Willis & Sons organ in Liverpool.

The samples not only capture the original quality of these sounds but also their depth and spatiality. Every key you press brings the essence of the organ sound to life, filling the room with a sparkling, authentic tone.

From the intimate sounds of a chapel to the grandeur of a cathedral, without switching instruments.

The Vivaldi 260 offers a premium playing experience with 41 voices and a powerful 8.1 audio system. With advanced stereo samples and unique convolution reverb, you experience the rich, authentic sounds of iconic pipe organs. Its intuitive stop panel makes this model ideal for organists seeking quality and ease of use in a compact design.

Immerse yourself in depth and spaciousness with HDSS technology

Detailed and spatial sound thanks to HDSS
With the innovative High Definition Spatial Sampling (HDSS) recording technique developed by Johannus, the Vivaldi elevates the digital organ experience to new heights. HDSS captures the sound of every organ pipe in astonishing detail with multiple microphones, recording not only the unique timbres but also the spatiality. This results in a rich and transparent stereo experience that realistically conveys the liveliness and depth of a traditional pipe organ. When you play, the essence of the historical organ sound comes alive, filling your space.

The six different sample banks of the Vivaldi bring the world of organ sounds literally to your fingertips. From the warm, symphonic tones of the Marcussen organ in Copenhagen to the clear Baroque sounds of the Hinsz organ in Kampen, each style offers a new layer of expression and musicality.

A powerful audio system that brings the sound to life

The impressive 8.1 audio system of the Vivaldi ensures an immersive experience wherever you play. Thanks to the built-in subwoofer and tweeters, every nuance of your playing is audible. Even when playing with headphones, you experience the stereo recordings in all their glory, as if you were standing in the middle of a church. The Vivaldi is a source of inspiration, designed to provide the freedom and possibilities every organist seeks.

Innovative Technologies for an Unparalleled Playing Experience

The renewed Vivaldi is packed with advanced technologies that elevate your playing experience to a whole new level. With DEA2.0™ (Digital Equalized Audio), each audio channel features a digital equalizer, ensuring perfectly balanced sound reproduction. SSE™ (Spatial Sound Experience) provides exceptional headphone and Aux output quality: the direct organ sound remains tight and focused while the reverb extends broadly, creating the sensation of being in an acoustic space. PEPC™ (Programmable Expression Pedal Configuration) offers the flexibility to program expression pedals as swell or crescendo pedals according to your preferences. Additionally, VPP™ (Virtual Pipe Positioning) allows you to virtually position organ pipes for an authentic spatial experience. These innovations make the Vivaldi a unique instrument that adapts seamlessly to your musical needs.

Bring your playing to life with the optional Solo and Symphony Packages

The Vivaldi series offers organists a new dimension with the optional Solo or Symphony Packages. These packages add lifelike solo and orchestral voices such as violin, trumpet, flute, and oboe, as well as complete ensembles of strings, brass, and woodwinds. Thanks to the touch-sensitive keyboards, every note comes to life with dynamics and expression, enriching the organ playing with unparalleled musical versatility. Ideal for organists looking to expand their repertoire with sounds that elevate their music to new heights.

Lifelike acoustics, distraction-free

What makes the Vivaldi even more unique is its innovative convolution reverb. Developed by our specialists, who visited churches to capture their natural echoes and spatial resonances, this reverb enriches every sound with the deep resonances of a cathedral or the intimate warmth of a chapel, felt directly under your fingers. Thanks to the Ambiance feature, you can even choose from four listening positions, allowing you to experience the reverb as it would sound at specific locations in the church: at the organ console, at the organ front, in the middle, or at the back. All of this enhances the feeling of playing a majestic pipe organ, without any distractions from what truly matters: the music.
