Others may appear in the marketplace as this technology evolves. Products presently on the market that use digital voices imbedded in a computer, and a monitor to view and select the various organ functions are those presented by Hauptwerk, MiditZer, and J-Organ. A by-product of this effort has also been to preserve the sound of the pipe organ whose ranks have been sampled. The primary purpose of this effort is to make the voice of the pipe organ available to many who cannot afford (or even contemplate) the installation of a real pipe organ.
Companies other than Artisan have expended a tremendous amount of time and effort to sample existing pipe organs of both the classic and theater type, and converted those samples back into digital pipe ranks. Today’s technology is gravitating towards what can be called a Virtual Classic Pipe Organ (VCPO) or Virtual Theater Pipe Organ (VTPO). While it is apparent from the pictorial drawings below that it will supplant all of the functions of a pipe organ or electronic organ relay, that fact leads to another important usage. The Micro-MIDI (also known as µMIDI or uMIDI) Control System) has some other very specific usages in addition to adding MIDI capability to a pipe or electronic organ.
