Features a built-in metronome for ensuring you stay on beat. PISTONLINK COMMUNITY Share your favorite hymn registrations with other PistonLink organists, and download theirs to use on your own organ. Everything you share is reviewed before anyone else can see it, and nothing is shared unless you choose to send it. Downloads are free and work offline, and registrations made for a different organ are translated to yours automatically. ORGAN DETECTION Not sure what organ you have? PistonLink can help you identify what organ you have if you're not sure. MIDI SYSEX AND PROGRAM CHANGE INTEGRATION PistonLink communicates directly with your instrument over MIDI — writing registrations to the organ's own memory with precision. This also includes a shortcut to access Voice Palette voices from the app, rather than fumbling through the organ menu one at a time. Requires iPhone 15 or newer (USB-C). CATALOG YOUR ORGAN Is your organ not supported out of the current 18 organs? Use the catalog your organ feature to help get the information needed to the developer to get it usable in the app! AI HYMN REGISTRANT Can't find a hymn in the curated library? Just ask. PistonLink's AI Hymn Registrant uses on-device Apple Intelligence to suggest organ stop registrations for any hymn — instantly, privately, and without an internet connection. Review and adjust every suggestion before deploying it to your organ. Supports the latest in SIRI AI and Apple Intelligence.
