In a pipe organ, all the octaves of all the ranks of a given note are tuned true, but never perfectly. There is always a very, very slow beat between them, which gives complex texture to the sound as the phase gradually drifts.
Above quote:
Yes Lucien, but isnt that why a true pipe organ with that beautifully slightly out of tune phasing sounds so good ??. Its like one of those MN 3**** series of very ugly bucket brigade devices sounded so sh****use.
Its an almost reverb effect, like one is listening in a large stone church/theatre/building. Its something our digital friends have never/ will never get right in sound/tone/effect.
A "little bit " like why a Leslie box is unique in its sound tone. I am a very amateur beginner with organs ( even if I have spent about 50 years learning Hammond ) and tuning,
or even matching levels is not easy without lots of, sort of specialised, test equipment.
Some days I dont post, but thats only because sometimes I have no idea what you are talking about. ( MY ignorance !!! do not be offended ).
I read every day !!.
Thats why I am here, to learn !!.
with best regards
