How do I play the online organ?

In 3D view, choose Play to tap, strum, or glide across a playing surface. Hold keys or wind surfaces to sustain a note. Choose Rotate to inspect the model; scroll or pinch to zoom. Use the labeled note controls or computer keys for chords and the full range. Classic view provides the original illustrated playing surface. Hold a key for a continuous tone. Use the black and white keys or the labeled keyboard controls below the instrument.

What sounds does the virtual organ use?

Church organ samples sustain while a key is held and fade when it is released.

Add a voice without restarting the others

Hold a two-note foundation while adding and removing a third note. The sustained organ makes independent note releases easy to hear.

Starting tempo: 60 BPM. Use Keep the beat for a steady pulse.

  1. Find the three keys

    Use Z for C3, C for E3 and B for G3. Start the metronome at 60 BPM. On touch, use separate fingers on the labeled controls.

  2. Keep the foundation down

    Press Z and B on beat 1. Without releasing them, add C on beat 3. Release only C on beat 5, then release the remaining keys on beat 7.

  3. Check the independent voices

    Repeat slowly if releasing the middle note also stops the outer notes. Each held computer key or touch should keep its own note sounding.

Try next: Use D-sharp3 with keyboard D instead of E3 with C. Compare the new middle note while holding the same outer notes.
