He's intent on duplicating a true pipe organ layout, perhaps with a speaker for each
spot where a bank of pipes is or would be located?
My church band used to play in a church that had a pipe organ designed into it. The
acoustics were designed for the pipes that were all positioned above the entrance.
When the church added a 16-channel mixer and speakers along the sides (oriented toward the
rear), the acoustics for the speakers were awful. Positioning a pair of larger speakers
alongside the pipes would have made all the difference!

Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Pardon my ignorance, but why do you need so many outputs? says he wants three pair of
speakers - front, middle and back, and a big woofer in the centre!
The
software supports an arbitrary
number of output channels, each with the option of a swell pedal to
vary
the volumes. I'm currently
budgeting for 4 stereo amps to drive it all! It started out with only
two manuals, but it doesn't
cost much to add a third manual, the big problem is fitting it all
into
the existing case!

Thanks,
Fascinating project. Do let us know how you get on with it :)
