Johannus LiVE Series

LiVE

The Johannus LiVE marks the definitive dawn of a new era in organs. Never before have the classical pipe organ and the advanced digital organ converged so closely.

The Johannus LiVE bridges the gap between dream and reality. Every organist dreams of playing a pipe organ, but not every organist has 24/7 access to one. The Johannus LiVE bridges the gap between dream and reality. This instrument enables organists to play the most wonderful pipe organs from around the world... in their living room.

Highlights

dozens of true-to-life pipe organs
4 different reverb positions
lightning-fast start-up and switching
latest technology & software
high-quality samples

Dozens of international pipe organs in your own living room. The Johannus LiVE is a high-quality digital organ that comes with sample sets enabling you to play on dozens of international pipe organs. The sample sets are uploaded into the digital organ using a USB stick. Each USB stick contains authentic, professional recordings of a specific international pipe organ. The highest standards for digital audio are used to play back the sampled sounds, so Johannus LiVE gives organists the feeling of playing a true-to-life, actual pipe organ.

Dozens of extra sample sets from international organs to choose from

In addition to the two standard sample sets supplied, there are dozens of sample sets available for order containing your choice of authentic, professional recordings of international pipe organs. The sample sets can be ordered from Johannus.

Four different listening positions per organ

The authentic and high-quality Johannus LiVE sound can be played from four different positions in the church for each sample. The first position places the organist on the organ bench. The direct transmission of sound dominates the experience, while the spatial acoustics are secondary. The second position sets the organist in the audience, close to the front of the organ. The reverb is already coming into play, but the direct sound is still the primary focus. In the third position, the organist is positioned right in the middle of the church, where sound and reverb merge as if in a CD recording. The fourth position places the organist at the back of the church, beyond the scope of the reverb.

The organist at the heart

The Johannus LiVE positions the organist at the heart of the musical experience, with the sound of the speakers angled directly towards their ears. The organ sounds are crafted to blend with the space in which the original pipe organ is situated. It takes almost no effort for organists to imagine themselves seated at the manuals of historic pipe organs in famous cathedrals, since as far as their ears can tell, that’s exactly where they are.
