The Mighty Kurzweil.....
Oct. 28th, 2011 01:33 amI think I may have already discussed this "maybe someday" project here earlier.
I remember the huge theater organs of old. I once saw (and heard!) a concert featuring an organist playing the Mighty Wurlitzer at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda, NY. There were lots of effects, such as a sideways marimba/xylophone with fluorescent "hammers" striking the wooden tines.
Imgine what that instrument could do if it was connected to modern computer technology. Computers, sequencers, MIDI, servo controls. It could probably play itself.
( That has been the inspiration for a multi-keyboard setup I would love to construct someday, if I have the space for it, and the money for the components. )
