The Allen Ensemble is drawer mounted in the organ and is integrated into the organ audio, as is the DTC (Digital Toy Counter.)

The Allen MDS Expander II has it's own 2 channel amplifier and speakers:

4 Sansui 1600 Speakers (2 per channel,) 1 presence projector for each channel, and a right and left elevation of large CONN speaker pipes on separate channels. It is expressed through MIDI data transmission and it has it's own Alesis reverb unit.

____________________________

A Yamaha Digital Stage Grand Piano is also MIDI-ed to the organ and is independently switchable to play either from the Great only or from all keyboards and pedal. It has it's own audio.

An Updyke Digital Toy Counter is integrated into the organ, and is played from a button bar mounted just under the music desk, and from the first 4 Pedal Toe Studs. This is a total of 18 effects on the button bar, and 4 more on the Pedal toestuds. It's audio is routed through the Allen Expander II's natural connection to the organ audio with piggy back plugs. Toy Counter Effects are easily changed by downloading Mp3 FX files to a compact Flash Card provided with the unit. (These effects can be found on-line.)

SUMMARY

With the two MIDI Modules configured as described above:

There are three voices available for the SOLO Manual; one from the MDS Expander II, line one, and two from the Ensemble A & B, line one A&B, activated by the "MIDI on Solo" stop.

Four voices are available for the GREAT Manual; two from the MDS Expander II lines 2 & 3, and two from the Ensemble, line two A & B, activated by the "MIDI on Great" stop.

There are two voices available for the ACCOMPANIMENT Manual from the Ensemble, line three A & B, activated by the "MIDI on Accomp" stop;

And one voice for the ACCOMP 2nd TOUCH from the MDS Expander II, line 4 set to receive MIDI channel 5, activated by the "MIDI on Accomp 2nd Touch" stop.

There are two voices available for the PEDALS from the Ensemble, line four A & B, activated by the "MIDI on Pedal" stop.

All of these module voices can be captured and selected by the Divisional and General Capture Action Pistons, which makes them completely versatile in practical use.

Frenchy and Buddy FIRST there came an addition given by a local church, who decided that the beast that languished for 30 years in a utility closet needed to be carted away somewhere (they were thinking about the local landfill.) Well, they asked me if I wanted it before it was hauled away. I took one look at it and knew there was a diamond under the spattered paint and plaster and grease. He came home with me where I cleaned him up, oiled him up, fixed a few minor problems, and added a Leslie Speaker. Now "Frenchy," a 1962 Hammond A-102 in French Provincial, is part of the family. That's his good friend, Buddy, on the right, a Hammond F-100 Extravoice, topped with a Hammond Auto-Vari 64 Rhythm Unit. Buddy and the AV64 were low cost eBay aquisitions.	FRENCHY and BUDDY. My organ tech, Mr. Bill LeVey, is an expert on Hammond Organ repair and modification. He rewired the vibrato generator so that I can add Vibrato Celeste, a feature found in much later vintage organs. It is switchable from the repurposed "Normal/Soft" switch, a fair trade in function. Also, Bill was able to expand the percussion feature to have preset voices: Chrysoglott, Guitar and Banjo. They are acessed through the reverse color upper preset keys.
Babe THERE must have been some magic in the air with Frenchy in the house. Up for adoption at a crazy low price on eBay, was an instrument that I have wanted since I was an organ crazy kid. I used to regularly go to the Nice House of Music here in Jacksonville, just to "visit" the organs. (I'm sure I drove them crazy.) One day there was a 3 manual Conn organ that was "just my size" and I played it every chance I got. I wanted one so bad I could taste it! "Babe" is a Conn 580 Theatrette organ, and she is a blast from my past and I very much enjoy playing her! I called her "Babe" because she looks like the baby daughter of the Allen R-311!	BABE I've had a slight modification made to this organ. I had Bill, my tech friend, install a "Channels Reverse" Leslie switch so that I could play Tibia tones from the stationary speakers and Reeds, Strings, and Diapasons, from the Leslie speaker. The reason for this is to make use of the Tibia and sustain, which create beautiful bell tones when on the stationary speakers, and to have tremolo on the other voices for accompaniment. The strings sound heavenly through the Leslie Celeste!
Telly THEN came yet another eBay surprise! A dear lady put her late mother's Roland Atelier AT-30 up for bids. I made a really ridiculously low bid and, much to my astonishment, I won it. "Telly" is great fun to play and is quite versatile inspite of his small size. Because he comes apart and is easy to transport, he frequently goes "on the road" with me to play gigs.	TELLY Although Telly has lots of prescored accompaniment backgrounds, I find I don't use them very often, though I do use the drum rhythms occasionally. The wonderful thing about this organ is the individual instrumental sounds, which include excellent "Tonewheel" type patches and really good Theatre Organ ensembles. The icing on this cake is the extended lower keyboard with it's own piano sustain pedal. EVERY spinet organ should be made this way.
Granny No family is complete without a grand parent to coddle and spoil the young'uns. GRANNY came to live in the house from an estate sale. She was forgotten and shoved into a dusty a corner and she sold cheap, but she has a place of honor in this organ household. Granny is a 19th century Victorian Estey pump organ. She doesn't work well, but that's ok because she's retired!	GRANNY Though Granny is old, one can get a decent sound from her, if you can pedal hard and fast enough to fill the leaky bellows. One day she'll get patched bellows and a nice electric blower; but for now she looks classy and quaint.
