Featuring up to 99 "Alternate Stops" and 48 main stops, PRAELUDIUM Series provides affordable customisation and flexibility. The availability of alternate pipe organ, keyboard and contemporary stops to the default specification, means that the organist can overcome limitations of one specification and make choices in reference to personal taste and musical repertoire.
Further more, “Additional Stops” of excellent sound quality (horizontal reeds, harpsichord, piano, tubular bells, timpani, etc.) join to the stop disposition widening the instruments versatility.
It is possible to access to these stops in three simple and immediate way, through the Programming Section™ incorporated in the front panel of the console, the wireless controlled Interactive Programmer™ (on Praeludium V and Praeludium IV) or holding pressed the Rocker Tab at least for three seconds.
Alternate Stops configurations set by the factory (Preset l, 2, 3, 4) could be easily recalled.
Distinguishing, on Praeludium V three manuals organ, different configurations for the entire organ are available (Organ 1, Organ 2, Organ 3) either set by the company or freely programmable by the customer that will be able to recall and use them instantaneously.
The 500 piston memories give easy access to combinations and allows several organists to retain hundreds of their own personal memory combinations.
Simulated Tracker Touch is now featured on all PRAELUDIUM Series organs to give the organist greater flexibility and vitality of touch. The control by touch of individual pipes enables notes to speak with musical expressiveness and produce a higher level of authenticity, according to what happens on the pipe organs with tracker action.
On all models, the standard keyboards could be replaced with the optional AHLBORN-TWK (Tracker Wooden Keyboard) which will help the organist to find the peculiarities previously described more perceptible.
