The Classic Organ Works control system is a micro-processor-based system
centred around the Classic Console Control Computer (CCC). All the
console devices communicate with the CCC. The CCC provides the
combination action (combo action), performs the coupling and MIDI functions, and sends the appropriate data
to the pipe-control computer(s) (PCC) in the pipe-chamber(s).
The PCC then controls the circuit boards which
operate the valves under the pipes,
the swell shades (shutters), chimes and other devices.
The Classic control system is available two basic formats:
| Discrete |
In the console, the Console Control Computer and other
console-related circuit boards are installed individually by the organ
builder. Similarly, in the pipe-chamber, the Pipe Control Computer and
all the associated pipe-chamber circuit boards are separately
installed. |
| Packaged |
The Console Control Computer and all the circuit boards
of the console system are installed in a grey, metal box, the Console
Control Unit (CCU), at the Classic Organ Works factory. All the console
controls (keyboards, stop knobs, etc.) are wired by the builder to the
pins on the exterior of the grey box. For the pipe-chamber, there is a
similar grey box, the Pipe Control Unit (PCU), containing the Pipe
Control Computer and all the pipe-driving circuit boards.

It is also possible to have a discrete console control system with a packaged
pipe-chamber control system (PCU) or a Console Control Unit (CCU) with discrete
boards in the chamber(s).
