LIVE 2T

Johannus has been recognized as a source of reliable products since 1969, all conceived and designed by Johannus itself and delivered at a good price. For decades, Johannus has been widely acclaimed for its phenomenal sound. Even connoisseurs can’t distinguish the pipe organ sound from the sounds of our digital organs. The Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T are fully in line with that tradition.

Audio professionals from Johannus have used sophisticated equipment and our own completely unique method to make true-to-life, faithful recordings of the stops of dozens of pipe organs. Johannus has made a basic selection of stops from the original stoplists of each individual pipe organ, and has then supplemented them with matching stops from our sample library. In this way, each sample set for the Johannus

How a pipe organ sounds depends largely on where you are within the church. The organ sounds different when you’re seated at the manuals than it does from the back of the church. Especially for the Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T, the reverb has been sampled from four different positions in the church.

The Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T are organs built by Johannus. Among other things, that means that when you turn the organ on, it actually starts. Every time. That’s characteristic Johannus quality. The integrated hardware is aligned to work in perfect harmony... And it does. Every time. We can’t emphasize that enough.

The organs use sophisticated equipment and systems. That cuts the start-up time of the Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T to the bare minimum. Press a button and you’re in the Notre-Dame-d’ Auteuil Church in Paris... As far as your ears can tell, anyway!

Thanks to Direct Streaming technology, you can switch between different sample sets very quickly. That’s because the organ uses solid state technology, sophisticated processors and an extremely large working memory.

So what’s new about the Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T? The answer is simple: everything. All of the key hardware is new. The motherboard and the smaller computer boards have all also been redeveloped to optimize speeds and options.

The software needed to operate this new hardware is also new. Our R&D department has worked hard for years to develop the new software, and the result is a resounding success. The sound engine at the heart of the organ and the LIVEreverb II system have been completely revamped. The Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T also use new operating software and an updated digital audio mix. And our familiar voicing software has been reprogrammed too.

The Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T use very large samples for each key. These samples have been recorded using high-quality equipment. Each sample lasts for several seconds, making the tone exceptionally pure and authentic.

The Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T have been conceived and produced by Johannus. If there is anything in your organ that falls short of your expectations, you can always contact Johannus. You can rely on an international service network and our long years of experience. Naturally, we offer you the same warranty as we provide for our other organs.

The Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T assure you of years of musical enjoyment. The number of pipe organs with additional stops from which you can choose will only increase in the coming years. You can keep your various sample sets in a compact storage case which comes with your organ when you buy it. Over time, you’ll be able to assemble an impressive library of the most beautiful pipe organs.

The Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T are high-quality digital organs equipped with a standard stoplist. A sample set is a USB stick containing a professional, authentic set of recordings from an actual pipe organ, plus a number of additional stops.

The high-quality recordings have been made by the audio professionals at Johannus. You simply insert the USB stick into the Johannus LiVE 2T or 3T, which then loads the stoplist of the pipe organ concerned as well as the additional stops. You can play the pipe organ immediately after the file is fully uploaded, using the illuminated stop tabs 

Up to five pipe organs including additional stops can be stored in the organ. This essentially means that you can copy the complete recordings to the Johannus LiVE 2T and 3T with five USB sticks. The major advantage of storing a full recording is that you can switch effortlessly between your selected pipe organs: you can fly from Paris via Dresden to Utrecht with the wave of a hand.

Upon purchasing a Johannus LiVE 2T or 3T, you receive two sample sets as a standard inclusion. New pipe organ recordings can be ordered individually from your dealer. The sets are protected by a unique code, so they can only be used on your own organ.
