Rodgers Trillium Masterpiece Series™ Organs  

The Trillium Masterpiece Series™ by Rodgers represents the pinnacle of digital organ design. No other organ in the world offers as many advantages. For beauty and realism of tone, adaptability for many worship styles, leading-edge design, and the widest array of customizable options ever offered on any digital organ, the Trillium Masterpiece Series is in a class by itself.

No other manufacturer can match Rodgers' commitment to musical quality, design flexibility, and superior technology. Rodgers Instruments, as a member of the strong and innovative musical family of Roland Corporation, has dedicated years of intensive research and development to the creation of the Masterpiece Series organs.

Like a fine pipe organ, each instrument in the Trillium Masterpiece Series is created individually - but without the lengthy wait and monumental expense. These instruments have the power to thrill organists and listeners alike, whether in a worship setting, concert hall, studio, residence or school. Inspiration comes naturally with every Rodgers installation.

RODGERS ORGAN ARCHITECT - The Power to Choose

Rodgers Organ Architect makes you the visionary and the designer of your own Trillium Masterpiece organ. In partnership with your Rodgers representative, you can send your congregation's dreams about music ministry straight to the factory floor. The Rodgers Organ Architect process not only lets you design the appearance and functional layout of the console, but gives you the power to actually select each individual voice. Click your way through extensive stoplist choices from the rich variety of historical organ building traditions. You can keep it simple by choosing a recommended configuration - or you can delve into more than 1,000 options to customize the casework, change the engraving style, select the perfect level of "baroque" for your reeds, arrange piston configurations, and make other choices that go as far as your imagination can reach.

Natural Dimensional Presence of Pipe Organ Sound

Like a choir with a multitude of richly blended voices, a fine pipe organ bathes listeners with sound and movement from all sides. This is the resonant experience you'll have in the presence of a Trillium Masterpiece Series organ. Using patented sound sampling methods in a process called Parallel Digital Imaging®, Rodgers captures the vivid tones of real pipe organs. True to real pipe organ sound, each voice has its own unique attack and release, and no voice speaks exactly the same way twice. Trillium Masterpiece Series organs not only sound like pipe organs, but play like them too.

The Organ World's Great Sounds at Your Fingertips

If you could choose from among the globe's most beautiful paintings and sculptures, wouldn't you love to have them to enhance your place of worship? That is what Rodgers sound specialists have done musically. Rodgers' tonal library is a dynamic, growing body of sophisticated digital samples taken from the finest pipe organs around the world. The library contains samples of more than 500 quality organ stops. Regardless of your preference in tonal design, Rodgers can provide you with the proper voices to make that design a musical success.

The Abundance of Alternative Voices

Thanks to Rodgers' Voice Palette™, you also can build your own onboard sound library for your Trillium Masterpiece organ. Want to play the works of your favorite composers -  Bach, Franck, Couperin, Buxtehude, Stanley and more - in their authentic voicing and tunings? Enjoy the thrill of selecting the sounds that are the best fit for your worship music. Alternate organ voicings and multiple alternate specifications can be stored in the organ's own memory or in external media for quick recall. Alternate stoplist configurations based on any historic style can be programmed into the organ's combination action for instant recall.

The Value of Versatility

Whether you are playing works by Marty Haugen, John Rutter, Michael W. Smith or another favorite composer, your Trillium Masterpiece Series organ has musical flexibility to spare, with multiple MIDI couplers per division. Rodgers' MIDI has been the unequivocal trend-setter in the organ business for years. It is ideal for use in the blended worship formats of today, offering the option to use expanded orchestral voicing appropriate to the music. Another important feature of Rodgers' new technology is that the organ can be updated at any time with new options.

The Art of Voicing

You may have experienced some pipe organs as simply glorious and others as, well, simply organs with pipes. A major difference is the voicing process. It completes the fit between the instrument and the room in which it is played by expertly adjusting each pipe and each sound. Physical considerations that affect the sound of organ music are unique to every church, whether it's the shape of the room, carpet thickness, all coverings, or the number of people in the congregation. Rodgers raises the art of voicing to a new level by building a remote-controlled web server into every Trillium Masterpiece Series console. This allows the person voicing the organ to roam from point to point within the worship space and make sure every note sounds right from every seat.

The Freedom to Rise Above Poor Acoustics

Carpet, marble, terrazzo, wood? The building materials that determine your present acoustical environment are no barrier to making the sound of the Trillium Masterpiece Series organ soar. Rodgers Sound Space™ creates the sound environment that you want for each musical selection by allowing you to specify such parameters as room size, surface hardness, and degree of ambiance or reverberation. RSS overcomes the limitations of imperfect acoustical environments by creating a powerful sound field that is not only heard, but actually felt.

The Thrill of Natural Touch Keyboards

Even Bach had bad practice days. We blame his suffering on warped, sticky wooden keys. Rodgers engineers combined the marvelous feel of wooden keys with the non-warping properties of metal to eliminate the possibility of swollen keys. Strong, metal-framed wooden keys prevent distortion that can ruin the flow of your technique without sacrificing the wonderful touch of natural wood on your fingertips. *You'll also appreciate the Rodgers touch inside the organ. Precisely engineered sealed double contacts sense every nuance of articulation, giving each key 127 degrees of touch sensitivity for a professional level of phrasing and coloring control in playing orchestral voices.

*Non-wood Ivora keys are also available.

The Perfect Partner to Pipes

Rodgers' role as a digital organ leader goes hand-in-hand with the highest respect for traditional pipe organ building. When you choose Rodgers, you are in the hands of the No. 1 building of pipe-combination organs, with more than 3,400 installations completed worldwide. Whether you're adding a digital console to an existing pipe organ or building a pipe combination organ, Rodgers can fulfill your desire to incorporate the glory of winded pipes into your worship.

The Assurance of Stability

When a church invests in a Rodgers instrument, everyone can rest assured that the investment is secure. Rodgers is the only church organ company in the world backed by the financial strength of the $600 million Roland Corporation. Long after memories of the organ installation and dedication concert have faded, Rodgers will be there with professional, reliable product support. Trillium Masterpiece Series organs are designed and built in America at Rodgers' state-of-the-art factory, where electronic and digital organ building have been our exclusive focus since the 1950's. No other organ builder has more worldwide respect and acceptance. Rodgers is the sound choice of Royal Albert Hall in London, Shinji Shumeikai Temple near Kyoto, Japan, Carnegie Hall in New York City, and thousands of other churches, cathedrals, and concert halls.

The Most Important Advantage of All

Your musical dreams and worship priorities are important. You deserve to talk them over with someone who understands your language and your needs. The engineering, manufacturing, and design professionals at Rodgers have decades of experience in the church organ business. Even more important, many are working organists who play in church every week. At Rodgers, we are committed to constantly deepening our understanding of what churches need to create meaningful music for worship. We are proud of our past accomplishments, but it's the people at Rodgers and NORAM who are the most important advantage you can have on your side when you are ready to build a Masterpiece for your future.
