You are completely right. The name Harmonium came after Orgue Expresiff at the beginings of XIXth century. That invention gained much attention from major composers of that time, since pipe organs lack the expression capabilities they sought after. In fact i think virtual pipe organs should include an optional system to control air pressure while avoiding the pitch fluctuations that make it unfeasible in the real plane (nevertheless in the virtual plane parameters can be altered in real time in order to neutralize those fluctuations). This way we would be able to enjoy a XXIth century Orgue Expresiff, at least in the virtual plane.I'd like to see them expand beyond pip organs to other reed organs that could use the same aero-acoustic and pipe resonance modeling:
Accordion
Harmonium
Pump organ
Harmonica
That would instantly increase the use cases and customer base for Organteq.
