Hi All,
The next step in my organ project is to use two computers each running a
subset of an existing disposition whereby subset one is controlled by two
keyboards and subset two is controlled by a third keyboard and the pedal.
These two computers would each have their own touch sensitive flat screen
controlling them. Identical MIDI messages can be sent to both computers
simultaneously even though some messages may only be appropriate for one or
the other computer.
The goal is to have the accompaniment (choir) and pedal controlled by the
left screen and the Great and Solo (swell) manuals controlled by the right
screen. I will have two identical HP pc’s running at about 2.4 Ghz with 2 Gb
ram running xp home version. I currently have the target dispositions
running on one of these machines.
My question is this: can I have a disposition with two consoles – one
console for the great and solo and one console for the accompaniment and
pedal with the couplers, trems, memory pistons, and memory bank working as
if it was all one big disposition no matter which console is being
controlled? The two console disposition would be installed on each of the
computers, one console being used in computer one and the second console
being used in computer two.
I know I can do the above using different dispositions on each computer, but
I want to be able to press a general piston (under a keyboard) and have it
affect the entire organ. Also coupling between the great and accomp (choir)
would need some integration between the two systems.
If someone has done something like this or has thought about doing something
like this, I would gratefully appreciate some advice.
Regards,
Dennis
