These instruments are--bar none--the WORST commercially available electronic 'organ' that this reviewer has ever had the displeasure to play. Tampa Jesuit has one in a remarkably beautiful and reverberant room. One would think anything could sound good there but...sadly, no. The 8 channel audio is horribly tinny (this is large 3 manual with three 32' in the pedal--only 8 channels?! Um, hello?!!?). The voicing is badly unbalanced and the samples are so awful that in some cases they sound like they are being played backwards (like any 2' in the low octave or perhaps any reed)--certainly not one sample per note. Any forte is painful and tutti is nothing short of positively irritating.
And then there is the actual build quality. Consoles are put together with plywood panels and drywall screws (this is not an overstatement). The keyboards are actually quite nice to the touch, but the bushings don't seem to withstand wear and keys are not level after just two years of use. For 100K they could have done much better, and for heaven's sake at least put midi jacks and capability in if it has to be digital so we can plug in something worth listening to into the poorly thought out and cheap tinny underscaled audio system instead.
So, if digital vs. pipes is the difference between real and plastic flowers, somehow these did manage to get this product smell remarkably like a landfill. Buy real pipes, save some noble part of our musical heritage from the landfill perhaps, but DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE PIECES OF CANADIAN BUILT JUNK. read more
