What is Open Pipes?

Open Pipes is a project that allows you to build a complete open-source virtual pipe organ (VPO) workstation system.

Our mission

We want to get an alternative to democratize the access to once-exclusive, closed-source and very expensive instrument with a set of open-source hardware and software solutions.

Projects

Linux-embedded distro

Pipebian64 is a optimized and low latency audio engine distro for Raspberry Pi4 B / Raspberry Pi 5. With Pipebian64 the user can build their own powerful music workstation with a VPO open-source software like GrandOrgue.

MIDI Controller Boards

An Arduino-compatible based (Pro Micro) board with a custom code to manage a whole set of MIDI Peripherals Organ Console boards with one circuit.

MIDI peripherals

A set of MIDI devices to connect on Main MIDI Controller Board, specifically to the type used by commercial electronic / Virtual Pipe Organs console:

Rocker buttons

Thumb buttons

Analog sliders

Push-and-pull knob

Foot piston

Volume pedal

MIDI encoder

Complete organ wood parts

Plans with assembly instructions to build their own organ console and other wood parts. They are optimized to be easily assembled directly from the cut shop, from the provided cut list:

Consoles

Pedalboards

  • Straight pedalboard
