hope not too O/T - pipe organ action

["James Winger" <jdwinger@hotmail.com>]

With the discussion about "interfaces" I just thought I'd share an 
interesting note from my mother-in-law about how a mechanical process such 
as pipe organ has "user feedback" designed into its interface

(Kim, my apologies if this has strayed too far, please let me know if I 
need 
to stay more "loop music" specific)

from my mother in law (Note : while i am sharing the information, all the 
love is still for me)...

I've gotten to practice on the
organ at the American Church in Paris, which is much better than that of 
St.
Sulpice. It's a tracker action, which means that you open the stops that 
you
pull manually as the keys are depressed. So, the more stops you pull, the
heavier the keys get. It's really quite wonderful. It sort of sets your
tempo for you, and you don't feel like you are flying off the keys.
Take care. love, Camilla
