Explanation of the INT. CHEST (Internal Windchest parameter)
An important option to customize the sound configuration of the organ is to arrange the voices’ stereophonic
reproduction (this is also called panning).
The organ is equipped with one left and right internal audio channels. The simultaneous diffusion through both
channels simulates a third, central channel.
Arranging the voices in the two channels simulates the position of the windchests of real pipe organs, since they
were usually placed in different areas. It also simulates the different position of the pipes inside the windchest,
which could vary according to the stop played, the period when the organ was built and the wishes of the builder.
The following options are available:
