Archiorgano

This module, commissioned by Projektstudio31, was built to automate the experimental organ 'Archiorgano'  an instrument that uniquely divides the octave into 36 tones rather than the conventional 12, enabling microtonal composition and performance.

To control the organ's mechanism, the module drives 138 solenoids, one for each key, allowing every tone to be triggered via MIDI. This turns a historically hand-played instrument into a fully programmable one, opening it up to sequencing, composition too complex for humans to play, and remote or automated performance.

Beyond key control, the module also features two switchable 230V outputs: one dedicated to the organ's air pump, and a second for a secondary external device, such as stage lighting, allowing the entire performance setup to be synchronized and controlled from a single system.
