Control Systems - Features
The Classic Organ Works control system quite simply has more features than any other system on the market. The features provided by specific components of the system are listed with those components. The brain of the system, the Console Control Computer (CCC), is especially rich in features and functions.

Stop Input Features

  • Up to 2048 stops available with expansion modules. Each switch-input board has a 64-stop capacity, wired in an 8x8 matrix, or in parallel.
  • Automatic Pedal, Automatic Solo, Pizzicato, Sustain/Sustenuto, Transposer, etc.
  • Can directly drive LED push-button stops, or CLASSIC LRT (Lighted Rocker Tabs).
  • SAMDB boards are required to drive dual-magnetic stop actions (tabs or drawknobs).
  • Can connect Syndyne lighted drawknobs (requires LAMPDR-1 lamp driver board).
  • 256-piston capacity, wired in an 16x16 matrix of any combination of generals, divisionals, reversibles, or other special functions. (Can have parallel 12V inputs via SIB-1P.)
  • Double-touch pistons can be accommodated, if required. These are used in theatre organs.
  • Additional piston-inputs available for effects and traps in theatre organs.

Memory Features

  • Multiple memories (up to 254 available depending on the amount of EEPROM memory required per memory.
  • Up to 16 "quick access" programmable Memory-Level-Select pistons.
  • Up to 8 "quick access" programmable MIDI-stop Memory-Select pistons.
  • User programmable Crescendo pedal sequence; up to 4 independent Crescendi.
  • Up to 8 user programmable Sforzando reversibles.
  • Up to 8 user programmable Ventils (reversibles).
  • Up to 8 lighted control reversibles with indicator lights (Zimbelstern, etc.).
  • Up to 48 coupler reversibles.
  • Up to 16 user-programmable stop reversibles.
  • Settable Tab Reversibles for special stops.
  • 'On', 'Through', 'To', and 'Pizzicato' couplers as well as 'unison-off'.
  • Save-and-Restore Piston, Crescendo, Reg. Sequencer settings, etc., to/from a Sequencer or PC.
  • Programmable pistons and toe studs.
  • Recall - allows return to registration prior to a piston press.
  • 4 x 2-digit numeric-display interface (for Crescendo stage, Registration Sequencer stage, Memory level, Transposer, and Set-up functions). Additional 2 or 3 digit displays optional.
  • Up to 254 MIDI-stop memories.
  • 250 stage programmable Registration Sequencer, using UP/DOWN pistons, with editing features, for recital convenience; switchable to "piston sequencer" mode.

Display Features

  • Provision for VFD interface.
  • Provisions for analog (i.e. swell shoe) bargraph volume meters.

Input Features

  • Direct input from matrixed keyboards (5 61-note manuals and 32-note pedalboard).
  • Compatible with CLASSIC Optical Keyswitch boards, including optional velocity sensing.
  • Input from parallel-wired stops, keyboards, and pistons using optional Switch Input Boards (SIB), or via "packaged units" (CCU/OCU).
  • Second-touch keyswitch inputs available with Second Touch Board.
  • Additional "floating divisions" allowed.
  • 8-channel ADC (analog-to-digital converter) for expression pedals, tuning, or other variable-voltage devices.
  • Includes provision for dual console installations

Coupling Features

  • Full inter- and intra-manual coupling (sub, unison, and super) between all divisions.
  • Auto-pedal function plays low-octave pedal key corresponding to lowest note played in lower octaves of the Great (or other manual).
  • Solo coupler plays high (melody) note from another keyboard or division.
  • 12-step Transposer controlled via rotary switch, or UP/DOWN (multi-function) pistons and numeric display, with "in-use" indicator light.
  • Full internal logical processing of traps and effects for theatre organs..

Control Features

  • High-speed serial output of key, stop, etc. data to PCCs or Voice Generators boards.
  • May control any combination of MIDI sound devices, organ pipes, and digital sample playback organ sound generators.
  • 3 levels of locks on combinations to avoid tampering or inadvertent changes.
  • Includes provision for dual console installations

Connections

  • All control connections to the board are Molex-type plug-ins or ribbon cables.
  • MIDI connections are via standard 5-pin DIN connectors.

Setup/Diagnostic Features

  • Extensive set-up capability to aid the builder/organist in configuring the software to suit his requirements.
  • Extensive built-in diagnostics aid the organ builder/technician in diagnosing and correcting wiring errors, electrical faults, etc.
  • Compatible with "Organ Assistant" software for Windows, which allows backup of organ set-up and memory data.

Other Specs

  • Power: 8-15V (uses on-board 5V regulator) @ 0.15 amp.
