Studio 260
With two manuals and a style-variable stoplist from 31 authentic pipe organ stops, the Studio 260 offers organists a perfect organ for practising every musical style. For example, the organist can switch from the symphonic to historical sample set at lightning speed with just the touch of a button. The stops used all originate from real pipe organs. For instance, the historical style only uses stops from the organ in the Bovenkerk in Kampen and the organist can play baroque music with samples from the Silbermann organ from Dresden.
Bringing the pipe organ within everyone’s reach
The Studio is an accessible and complete instrument with a stunning sound. This organ was designed to make the pipe organ accessible – an essential mission for Johannus. That’s why they chose a style-variable stoplist packed with stops from five authentic pipe organs. This brings the pipe organ within the reach of both professional as well as hobby organists.
Authentic pipe organ stops for a true pipe organ experience
The Studio has a standard stoplist that includes only stops from real pipe organs. For instance, the romantic style only has stops from the Vater-Müller organ from the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam and the organist can hear the Hinsz organ sounds from the Bovenkerk in Kampen in the historical sample style. Adema (Raalte) and Cavaillé-Coll (Paris) can be heard in the symphonic style and the baroque style comes to life in the Silbermann organ from the Katholische Hofkirche in Dresden. The stops combined with realistic wind model and true-to-life convolution reverb complete the organ experience.
Four organ styles with characteristic stops
The Studio has four organ styles: romantic, symphonic, baroque and historical. Each style has stops from specific historical pipe organs. To best showcase each style, a stoplist was chosen in which stops are linked specifically to a particular style, which is why some stop tabs have a double engraving. For instance the symphonic set offers organists a Flûte Harmonique, while the Quintadeen can be heard via the same stop tabs in the romantic, baroque and historical set. The baroque set’s swell division also has a complete principal chorus and the treble and the carillon can be heard in the historical set. The Studio cleverly interprets the unique sounds of each style. Practising was never so much fun or realistic.
