The single voices sound organic, combined with other tabs it has a very discrete sound. The philosophy of this organ is taken from historic Theater Organs: Horse-Shoe design, ranks and finally the sound. Even the technology is borrowed from these so-called multiplex organs. The tibia section is comparable to a rank of pipes witch is reused by all manuals and their tabs with their different footages. The reed tabs exist only in 8′ and can be coupled to 16′ or 4′. The 650 and 652 organs are truly rare in Europe. I have got the 652 model, the previous owner had directly imported from the US. It has some newer MOS IC technology inside compared to the Conn 650. However, the famous single tone generator remained the same and it has additionally 3 other tone generators, which are:
2. a separate duo-phonic stair-step generator for the pedals,
3. a divider pulse generator for the Solo manual,
4. a stair-step generator for the Celeste tabs. However, it is the conventional pulse generator, which makes the Conn sounding so special. Each single tone has a separate oscillator, which can be tuned individually. Each oscillator circuit has two outputs: one pulse and one sine-like. Alas, the pulse is not a rectangular pulse and tibia sine is not a sine curve!
