| Rodgers
innovative organ building began with our introduction of the world's
first all-transistor church organ in 1958. Among Rodgers' hundreds
of major organ building firsts are the first transistorised organ
amplifiers, first microprocessor church organs, first MIDI church
organs, the first Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in church organs
and the only stereo sampling used in church organs.
Since 1988,
Rodgers has been part of the Roland Group headed by Roland Corporation,
the world's expert in digital music technologies. Roland provides
Rodgers with financial and technological resources far beyond
other organ builders.
Even with
all our technological innovation, Rodgers has never let technology
become an end in itself. The goal of all Rodgers innovative
technology first and foremost is to create music. While some
competitors work hard to get customers' attention away from
an organ's musical qualities and focused instead on details
and features that actually provide little musical benefit, Rodgers
emphasises music.
At
Rodgers, we believe that for an organ technology to be truly
cutting-edge, it must serve to make the instrument more musical.
Rodgers is the only major organ builder producing true stereo
sound. But what does this mean to you, the musician?
• each note of each stop has a unique place in the stereo
sound image, helping recreate the warmth and clarity of real
pipes
• reduced distortion, providing greater clarity regardless
of the instrument's environment
• unique randomness with every key depression, the essence
of natural pipe sound
• the true physical and audio recreation of the wealth
of natural materials that contribute to the sound, richness
and idiosyncrasies of a pipe organ
Rodgers harnesses technology to deliver the complete pipe organ
experience.
