WM-47 LDS

The WM-47 has been designed specifically for the church. Special attention has been given to make the beginning organist comfortable and confident. The advanced organist will find the WM-47 an exciting instrument to play each week with a variety of stops and quality of sound not found elsewhere. If an organist is unavailable the onboard hymn and prelude player can be easily operated, even by a non-musician.

Masterful Cabinetry

Dutch Pipe organs of past centuries distinguished themselves for great craftsmanship. That is not only audible - in the sound of organs from that time - but also visible. Breathtaking architecture and the unrivalled mastery of the cabinet-makers are characteristic of the Golden Age. The magnificent cabinets of the WM-47 organs recall that era. And again it is a matter of an inspiring sound combined with
masterful cabinetry. Here Johannus is unique and lonely at the pinnacle!

Real Time Sampling

It is the talk of the town, but actually what is it? At bottom Real Time Sampling is nothing but a system that reproduces original recordings of famous pipe organs per key. Well, you will say, everyone offers exactly that. Just a moment, that is not the case. Usually a recording of a pipe organ is used merely as an example. This recording is known as a sample (hence everyone's assertion that they build Sampling organs). This sample is not applied in the organ. It is made into a computer simulation. That is a piece of software - a complex digital formula - which is incorporated in the organ. You hear a 'sound-alike', not the real thing. It resembles it, but this algorithm is still a poor imitation. Thanks to Real Time Sampling a Johannus organ sounds exactly like a genuine pipe organ.
