Let's start this one off and see where it goes...
Let's say that you're going to design and build a 21st century Wurlitzer, Morton or whatever. It still uses pipes, obviously, but you can use new technology to control it. What would you include? here's some suggestions.
A transposer (the organ obviously has the extra pipes to cope!)
Manual switching, so the Solo could become the Great, Orchestral etc
Velocity switched inter-manual couplers. pp to mf played the manual's own sounds, f and ff would couple sounds from another manual. Same thing for octave couplers etc.
Tremulants on second touch / after touch.
A 'hold' footswitch switch on the left most expression pedal - holds the last note(s) played on one manual while you move to play something else on another manual (Roland do this on their AT series)
Any more ideas?
