IвЂ™d have to check exactly whatвЂ™s in which file, and as IвЂ™m not too well just now you might have to bear with me for a week or so. IвЂ™ve not heard it, but it would almost certainly be Hope-JonesвЂ™ idea of a Diapason chorus, rather than a Skinner one, for instance.ДЄs it happens I recorded a few demo files for the London meeting of the Electronic Organ Constructors Society a couple of months ago, and these are still uploaded to my Google Drive. The Wurlitzer Opus 1610 is unusual in that it includes a completely un-extended Diapason chorus this would be ideal if you sometimes want a church organ sound. I havenвЂ™t used the MDA set for a while, but considering that a leading theatre organist was involved in the design (Jelani Eddington?) it works surprisingly well with the trems off. As you will already know, the 3/41 can sound pretty lush too! The more speaker channels you can afford the better it will sound. On the other hand if you want that вЂњbig WurlitzerвЂќ sound, the Paramount 4/50, with four Tibias, four Voxes, etc, will produce a very lush effect. Most theatre organists do mix the ranks quite a lot, but a few of the greatest were more вЂњsoloisticвЂќ вЂ“ for instance George Wright in the USA, and Reginald Porter-Brown in the UK. My only reservation is that some of the ranks are not sufficiently evenly voiced to use them alone for solos. The Paramount sets are more recent, and have sampled trems throughout. The only page I can reach is the checkout page, which at least means you can buy it! Neil doesnвЂ™t seem to be promoting it very actively at present, which I think is a pity in many respects, even now, it's the best available. Fortunately itвЂ™s available in four stages, and even the smallest set is extremely capable. This set is quite expensive if you buy all of it вЂ“ around ВЈ1,000 I recall, and whatever that is in dollars. An Orchestral Oboe, for instance, can be an effective solo voice if the trem is not too fast and not too deep. This means the tremulated sound is not so realistic as on the Paramounts (which have sampled trems), but it does offer the opportunity to adjust the speed and depth. It was recorded quite close вЂ“ just a few inches from the pipes I think Neil said вЂ“ this captures as much brightness as possible, which suits my style of playing.Д«ecause of its age the set uses tremulants generated in software. Neil JensenвЂ™s set is quite old, but the sampling is beautifully even throughout the compass. I find the first and third complement each other well. I have all the Paramount sets, the MDA, and the Jensen.
