Viscount Prestige II - (Preset) Registration Ideas (1 reply and 1 comment)
I doubt if you will get any replies from organists because (from my experience) they are very reluctant to disclose any information about how they use stops and presets.
However if you look at my website
you will find a section on Estey organs which has extensive information about Estey presets, sample midi files etc. You will also find my organ eplayOrgan which can play these files and translate them to play on your organ.

Thanks csw900 - I'll have a good look at your ite and see if I can adapt some of it.
Back to Viscount Organs Forum...
Hi All,
I recently bought a secondhand Viscount Prestige II. I was hoping to reset the presets to Factory Defaults, but it turns out the factory default is "unset". I'm fairly new to playing (and my registrations tend to be quite random), so I wondered whether someone who knows the stops on that organ might be able to suggest some presets - both global presets and individual manual one.
For the most part I'm looking for fairly soft presets on 1-3 (maybe even without the Principal on the Great), but the others I want to build. Before attempting the reset, I had programmed all 12 "global" (not sure appropriate word) presets, but I wasn't happy with most of them (and 10-12 were basically almost everything on each manual with variations in coupling).
I'm also open to suggestions for presets for the individual manuals (I feel it's less important for these to build up if the main presets build)....
Any ideas (or pointers to references) would be much appreciated.
