The Viscount “PRESTIGE” series represents the state of the art for organs that use sampled sound technology. These quality instruments combine a finely crafted and attractive console with unrivalled tonal flexibility. The organist can regulate the instrument to suit their own taste by using the on-board controls or with an external computer programme for even greater detail. The samples used in the Prestige organs have been taken from some of the world’s finest pipe organs and form a library of more than 800 voices.

The TruePipe+ Technology
True Pipe Reproduction + Orchestra Sound

Viscount was the first European manufacturer of classical electronic organs. Since the 1970’s they have recorded some of the finest pipe organs in the world and have captured the sounds of the different musical cultures they came from.

After this first generation of organs Viscount started to use sampled sound technology. Today, thanks to the extremely high quality of our circuitry, Viscount claim to have the most authentic pipe sound ever heard from a digital organ.

TruePipe+ Technology is the result of this evolution. We can now introduce to you "True Pipe Reproduction". The research and development started in 1996 on flue and reed pipes. Carefully describing all mechanical details of the organ helped Viscount achieve the best possible sound quality.

Our engineers and musicians decided to focus their efforts studying how sounds interact if different registers are used playing a single note, and then in ensemble, which is typically associated with pipe organ sound production.

The concept is clear : TruePipe+ algorithms are dedicated to ensemble reproduction, and not just solo. This gives Viscount Organs an extremely natural build-up to the sound which is just like a real mechanical pipe organ. In addition, Orchestral Voices are included to achieve maximum flexibility in performance.

Prestige organs offer unique flexibility. First of all, the sound configurations can be selected by the organist, and then the sound ambience can be carefully tuned to obtain the best result whether in a church, a school, a concert hall or the organist’s own home. All Prestige organs can also be configured through a dedicated PC editor programme.

With Prestige organs the musician can perform music in different styles such as baroque or romantic, just at the touch of a button.

All the voicing parameters can be easily changed and adapted without the need of borrowing, as in older digital organs. Each organ can therefore develop its own unique personality as governed by the organist.

Prestige Organs: Achieving Musical Perfection.

AFC- Active Field Control
	In the AFC version, Prestige Organs are equipped with a digital device that is connected to small microphones installed inside the cabinet. With this device, the organ "hears" the level of the ambient reverberation and adapts its amplification system accordingly. The results are amazing as the best possible ambient reverb is reproduced.

Configurable via organ editor
Thanks to the PC editor, it is possible to adjust many parameters of the organ. First, the tuning and volume of every single note of every stop can be adjusted. This is shown on the computer screen. In addition, many other parameters can also be customised, such as attack, release, detune, audio routing and reverb.
