Linux PCs Drive 74-Channel Pipe Organ

Posted by simoniker on from the not-smoking-one dept.

cyberman11 writes "According to the EE Times, Marshall & Ogletree LLC have created an electronic simulation of a classic Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ in the Trinity Church situated, just 600 feet from ground zero near the World Trade Center site in New York. The system consists of 10 Linux PCs that drive 74 Carver amplifiers and 74 Definitive Technology speakers, for a total of 15,000 watts."

    What the fuck does a linux driven pipe organ has to do with 9/11 and all this?! Exactly nothing!

    Get over this 9/11 shit - yes, it is sad and one can be angry about it. But don't bring it up on every occassion again though it has nothing to do with the original topic!
