Description

The Allen Organ Company issued this record around 1974 to demonstrate the Music Scene, its computer theater organ for the living room, played by the organist Dwight Beacham. The organ used the technology of the Allen Digital Computer Organ of 1971, which Allen calls the first digital organ: recorded pipe sounds were stored on custom microchips developed with North American Rockwell and released as keys were played. A card reader added extra stops, the organ’s selectable voices, from punched cards.
