Organ stops
(Version 1.2 - October 2009)
This application provides all (I believe) pipe organ
footages for manuals and pedals along with nearly 600
stop names for manuals and over 300 stop names for pedals.
The stop name lists are by no means complete and I hope
to add more as interest grows in the App and suggestions
are made. Touching the stop knob plays a sound pitched
at th ebottom C for the footage shown on the stop. To
make this complete, I have added a 128' pedal "stop"
- no such stop actually exists as a single rank but
it is available when a 64' and a 42 2/3' are drawn together
on those organs that have such stops. The fundamental
frequency for bottom C on a 128' rank is 4 Hz (4 vibrations
per second) and yes, you can actually hear this on an
iPhone/iTouch speaker!
Spinning the selector to a footage reveals a list of
stop names for that footage, and the selection of a
name puts the name and footage on the stop graphic.
In addition, there are some example snippets of organs
music and a pipe footage calculator which takes as input
the harmonic required and the footage of the fundamental
component (or first harmonic).
