21 REASONS TO BUY A NEW 2003 JOHANNUS DIGITAL ORGAN
FEATURING:
MULTI-POINT, 3 DIMENSIONAL, *32 BIT,
REAL TIME "LIVE SAMPLING" TECHNOLOGY
1. JOHANNUS is a financially stable and secure company, well capitalized and with no outstanding debt or loan activity, a rare achievement in the business world yet indicative of our superior management and continuing worldwide sales growth and customer acceptance of the JOHANNUS instrument lines.
2. JOHANNUS has the greatest worldwide distribution of digital organs and is the instrument of choice in over 80 countries. As further proof of our manufacturing diversity, we provide organs designed for each specific market area and need. Approaching close to 100 individual specifications of design and tonality attests to our commitment as world leader in meeting product demand in a world economy, with U.S. distribution, sales & service since 1976.
3. Our church organ sales are growing at an annual rate of 15% or more for the past 8 years in a row! And for 2003 we have already experienced a 50% increase in dealer orders over 2002 in the American market! While most organ manufacturers have experienced decreases in unit production, JOHANNUS sales have exploded throughout the world. Clearly a reflection of universal acceptance of our instruments.
4. JOHANNUS has a rich history of organ building with 34 years of stability and organ manufacturing and we remain focused as an organ manufacturer while others have shifted their interests, research and capital to other ventures.
5. Technology stops for no one. Announcing 32 bit total sound resolution. Imagine a movie camera taking pictures at the rate of 1,048,576 snapshots per second and resulting clarity of the picture if that were possible. Well, that is what we do with the audio recording of each pipe! Compare this to competitive organs boasting of their CD quality resolution, which is only 65,536 steps. JOHANNUS uses an additional 983,040 steps per second for sound quality 256 TIMES BETTER THAN CD!
6. Three-Dimensional, Real-Time, Multi-Point, Live Sampling. 32 bit sound resolution is just one part of the total picture of JOHANNUS. To further augment tonal perfection we record pipes using several microphones and placements around the pipe, resulting in multiple recordings for each pipe to fully capture all harmonic detail. On site recording further captures the tonal contributions of the projection case and harmonic content. And unlike our competitors, we do not process (modify) the original samples (recordings). Hence the Real-Time authenticity of JOHANNUS.
7. JOHANNUS provides more Envelope Generators (pitch sources). Many digital organs share pitch sources or actually drop out stops, notes or harmonic detail as you build up to full organ. JOHANNUS retains the full harmonic and pitch detail by allowing each note of each rank to be assigned an independent pitch source as you play, so even a full organ setting retains full ensemble and harmonic content equal to that of a pipe organ sounding an equal number of pipes.
8. JOHANNUS knows that a real pipe organ speaks into a room from many locations. This is why we provide many channels of audio separation using many amplifiers and speaker systems. Just like a pipe organ, youll hear different ranks of pipes speak from different areas, surrounding you with natural ambiance augmented by the advanced digital effects generation system of acoustic enhancement found on every JOHANNUS organ.
9. JOHANNUS provides more Digital- to- Analog Converters (DACS). Digital information (sampled sound) cannot be heard so sample data must be converted into many complex fundamental and harmonic waveforms (analog signals). JOHANNUS uses more DACs than competitive instruments. In addition, only the highest quality DACs are used in order to retain the detail, massive ensemble, pitch, fundamental and harmonic content as the original organ pipes.
10. Note-by-Note and Rank-by-Rank Voicing control. With our special software (Intonat 4.0) and laptop computer JOHANNUS organs can be extensively voiced. Superb levels of tonality adjustment, rank-by-rank ensemble controls, wind supply per division, tremulant control per stop, extensive volume leveling per note for each rank and scaling are accomplished on site, to give you your personal instrument. Even a pipe organ cant match our control capabilities.
11. Variety! The spice of life! JOHANNUS has it! We believe that we have more sampled organ pipe ranks on file than any other organ manufacturer! Over 80,000 sampled pipes from over 1,450 ranks of pipes! With almost every conceivable tonal concept, surely you can find YOUR tonal desires within the vast availabilities of JOHANNUS.
12. JOHANNUS organs sold in America are built to meet the specifications of the American Guild of Organists. Tonal configurations are designed for American desires, such as Aeolian Skinner pipes for Symphonic sound, but we also provide a Baroque specification in the same organ, so important for classical literature. At the touch of a tab you can go from one set of sampled pipes to a very different set of samples, and all stops are independent, no borrowing between the two specifications or within a specification so each set of samples can be independently voiced via the 4.0 Intonation Software. And alternate stop choices are also available to meet your tonal requirements at very reasonable cost.
13. We manufacture our own organs! When you invest in a JOHANNUS organ you have selected an instrument of uncompromising quality and value. The ability to purchase your instrument directly from an authorized importer/dealer eliminates inflated pricing of a sub-contractor or middleman. In addition, this direct communication path between dealer and manufacturer assures you of the highest level of service before, during and after your purchase.
14. Custom built organs too. With our technology and distribution system you can now afford an appropriate instrument. So if you are planning on the purchase of a competitive brand/model, consider an outstanding custom organ from us for about the same amount of money as their standard models!
15. Quad-Sampling! MONARKE, a line of JOHANNUS organs representing the pinnacle of digital organ technology as we continue to make unprecedented inroads into levels of organ tonal perfection never before possible. When only a fully custom digital organ will do, MONARKE provides your concept from start to finish. Two, three, four or five manuals and your tonal demands from our vast library of stops. Representing many samples per pipe and new projection techniques, Quad-Sampling takes you to the next generation of digital organ technology, and only from JOHANNUS.
16. JOHANNUS is committed for the long haul! Not only do we supply parts for every organ we have ever built, we make them very affordable and quickly obtainable if needed, by overnight UPS or Fed-Ex. Plus we back them with our 10 year warranty. In the unlikely event a problem does arise service is literally a snap. Using Ultra-High Density, dedicated, surface mount computers on credit card size, plug-in boards you likely wont need a high priced service technician to trouble-shoot or correct the problem. Just another reason why the future is NOW with JOHANNUS.
