Pipe Voice Chiff
This Advanced Feature allows you to set the amount of Chiff or attack for each individual Pipe Voice.
What Is “Chiff?”
There are two classifications of organ pipes based on the method used to produce sound. “Flue” or “labial” pipes produce
sound by means of sending a stream of air through the body of the pipe, while “reed” or “lingual” pipes utilize a beating
reed in a manner similar to a reed instrument such as a clarinet.
A flue pipe can be voiced in such a way so that a short attack transient is heard at the onset of the tone. The term, “chiff,”
was coined by pipe organ makers to describe the sound. The amount of chiff can vary depending on the maker and the
effect desired - some organ builders voice the flue pipes with little or no chiff while others, perhaps influenced by the
“neo-baroque” school of organ building, deliberately strive to include the chiff effect.
Select the Chiff setting you want by doing the following:
Turn the VALUE Rotary Control to the right to add more Chiff to the selected Pipe Voice.
Turn the VALUE Rotary Control to the left to add less Chiff to the selected Pipe Voice.
