Factory Pre-recorded Music

Included at no extra charge are the most generous standard libraries available. All music is safely stored within the system on non-volitile FLASH memory. Optional and custom libraries are available. On-screen alphabetical title-lookup allows any selection to be performed at any time, in any order. Libraries are pre-cataloged to interface with the SmartAlmanac™ feature to play appropriate selections with no user intervention. Additional music may be obtained from us over the internet and installed via USB applications.

Clock Striking

Flexible clock striking is completely programmable over ranges of time and days. Strike the top of the hour, top and bottom or all quarter-hours. Several Chime tunes are available. Version 3.0 includes

• Westminster
• Whittington
• St. Michael's
• Christus Vincit

• Parsifal
• Bigelow
• Warren (two or three bells)

SmartAlmanac™

100–year liturgical calendar automatically changes the random music list to play appropriate selections for each season. Includes Lent, Easter, Marian, US Patriotic, Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas. Each season can be individually enabled or disabled. Automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time. Options for Eastern Orthodox and expanded US Patriotic Holidays.

Scheduler

Common sense, easy-to-set weekly schedule can play any selection at any time. Random music selections can be set once and will choose appropriate music, season after season, year after year. Easy carry- forward function allows you to program a fairly complex weekly schedule in under two minutes. We can even program the system for you before shipment - the schedule resides in non-volatile memory and will play on time after you power the system up.

The optional Millennium Suite adds support for multiple weekly schedules and special event programming features.

AutoLevel™

You can program the volume level for different times of day. Each quarter-hour can be set to one of eight different levels. The Global Programming menu allows you to program a range of times over several days in one easy operation.

ZoneAutoMute™

Set the scheduled programs to play Inside/Outside or Both. Set the remote control functions to play Inside/Outside or Both. The keyboard will play Inside only or Inside and Outside. You can have special events in the church without being interrupted by clock striking. The front panel indicates at a glance which speakers are active.

Keyboard Connection

All models feature an industry standard MIDI compatible keyboard input. Some systems include a touch-sensitive keyboard in a rugged steel chassis with matching wood end blocks. An electric pipe organ interface is optionally available. Simple MIDI setup mode automatically adapts to MIDI expression and channel data for two keyboard manuals.

Bell Tuning

Defaults to A=440Hz. Can be tuned ±50 cents for keeping in tune with your pipe organ.

No Moving Parts

All music and data are stored safely inside the carillon on solid state surface mounted memory chips. There are no discs, hard drives, external chips or memory cards to lose or damage. Loading of additional libraries and backup of user libraries is electronically accomplished via the USB applications.

FLASH Memory

Permanent memory for program schedule backup, bell samples, pre-recorded music and user recordings. Additional back-up capability afforded by the optional Millennium Suite.

Battery Backup

The accurate clock keeps running even when the power is off. Sanity check during re-boot verifies the schedule is intact before resuming automatic operation.

Free Lifetime Support
