			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello there all.</p><p>My name&#039;s Lewis, a blind church organist and pianist from Wales, United Kingdom. I&#039;m a Mac user and iOS user relying on a screen reader called VoiceOver. </p><p>I&#039;m writing to request the following features please, and I understand it may be a challenge, but worth asking for, so please forgive me treading on any toes.</p><p>Before I continue, Organteq has changed my life and I genuinely mean this. Hauptwerk is useless for blind users and the manufacturer simplly refuses to be involved at all, Organteq though initially not accessible, can be made accessible through a resource called VOCR for mac and as such can provide some decent accessibility functions, but that&#039;s not much to worry about when it&#039;s then configured to hardware midi controls. Then life gets so much more exciting. I&#039;m in te process of making arrangements for an organ console as a midi system only, then I will have a fully tactile system to rehearse and record with, for the moment though, using a studiologic SL88 master keyboard with 4 layer midi, has it&#039;s drawbacks but does ok for basic work as an organ setup.</p><p>I&#039;d like to request however particular functions missing from the design and they are somewhat necessary here...<br />1: General Set button to assign to midi.<br />2: An additional or 2 additional expression pedal controllers assignable to choir and great.<br />3: 32&#039; pipe voices / stops for that trouser flapping presence and extra depth.<br />4: We need to expand upon the pipe specifications made available, it is limited in what it can do as apposed to Hauptwerk in terms of voices and ranks.<br />5: Give the option of a 4th manual (solo)<br />6: One of the most important matters here. Providing particular console specifications for English, German, Italian, French, Classical and Theatre specifications. These will mean that Organteq can serve a greater capacity and become a serious replacement to products like Hauptwerk, but also as software to be built into a particular linux distro to install to SFF based or SBC systems to install to organ consoles as midi retrofit systems.<br />7: ARM edition of Organteq please<br />8: iOS versions of both pianoteq and organteq so that as a blind user, a tactile method of manipulating information, etc as well as portability could be managed.<br />9: A possibility of a different or optional console interface scheme where instead of draw stops, a tab stop UI could be switched to.</p><p>Organteq is a pleasure to use for most functions, but needs to be expanded upon to make this a more serious threat against Hauptwerk in my honest opinion. Let&#039;s give the amazing devs working on this software the help and support they need and most importantly, encouragement. This is a system I&#039;m proud to be using and incredibly thankful for. </p><p>All the best from the UK, take care, keep safe and God Bless.</p><p>Lew.</p>]]></description>
