The demo seems to make use of the pedals as well !?

The original is only 2 voices for cembalo or clavichord.

I have certain doubts that the invention was played live by x. Morel using the pedal rather than a midi file and the pedal was added later during post production.

I have studied the manual and was wondering if he used mono couplers. I tried but this doesn’t seem to work.

Dr. Morel! Kindly share your knowledge and tell us the secret of achieving the same results with organteq.

Did you play the pedals or any other trick?

I love it. Super sound!

Thanks in advance

Hi TimB3,

First of all, thank you for your kind words!

Indeed, the original invention only has two voices, which are played here on the Choir and the Swell. You rightfully noticed a bass line, absent from the original score (I happily accept any accusation of heresy), added and played on the pedal.

To answer your specific questions: no tricks involved in the performance itself, but the registration changes were made using the combination pistons. The preset used for the audio demo was the Historical Alsacian Strasbourg one, though slightly tweaked: diapason of 440Hz with Werckmeister III temperament, custom couplers and combinations, some modifications on stop user params such as brightness, air noise, etc. Here is the link to the custom fxp, with the embedded mini-demo MIDI file :

so that you can a closer look and check there when the combination changes occurs and which couplers are used (in particular how the Swell 4'/Swell is brought in at moments to help emphasize the upper voice). Note also that two Historical Alsacian Organs (Strasbourg and Marmoutier) presets use the Invention BBW 779 as embedded mini-demos !

I hope this helps,

Best,
Xavier

Dear Xavier

Many thanks for your prompt and detailed response and explanation. I’ll check out the midi file accordingly.

Your invention sounds fantastic !!!

Kind regards from Switzerland.
