Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting actuation of a deflectable transmitter component, comprising the steps of: recording (20) a measured value (U) corresponding to a deflection of the deflectable transmitter component; comparing (30) the measured value (U) with a predefined threshold value (Us); if a result of the comparison (30) is that a predefined condition has been satisfied (34): storing the measured value (U) as a first measured value (U1); allowing (40) a predefined time difference (?t) to elapse; recording (50) a second measured value (UM) corresponding to a deflection of the transmitter component; and calculating (60) a value representing the actuation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the operation of a pipe organ, with at least one of the valves being provided as a valve actuated in multiple ways which can be controlled to open at least on the basis of two different note demands. In accordance with the invention, on a note demand on a valve actuated in multiple ways which is already open due to another note demand, the valve actuated in multiple ways is closed for an interruption time period and then opened again. The invention further relates to a method for the operation of a pipe organ, wherein information input at the console is transmitted via a data bus to remote receiver units which are connected to valves and/or stop pallets for their control, with the receiver units determining individually from the information transmitted whether, and if so, which of the valves and/or stop pallets connected to the respective receiver unit are to be opened or closed.
