  Electronic organ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The immediate predecessor of the electronic organ was the harmonium, or reed organ, an instrument that was very popular in homes and small churches in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Unlike reed organs, this gave her great control over her music's dynamic range, while at the same time freeing one or both of her feet to play on a pedalboard, which, unlike nearly all reed organs, electronic organs incorporated.
Electronic organs are still made for the home market, but they have been largely replaced by the digital keyboard or synthesizer, which is not only smaller and cheaper than typical electronic organs or traditional pianos, but also far more capable than the most advanced electronic organs of earlier years.

Digital organs are sufficiently complex that there is little I can cover here on the web site, save for the importance of keeping these organs attached to a continuously live wall outlet, so as to keep their capture action batteries (if so equipped) charged.
It is then so connected to the organ that the middle C on the 8' Flute is the exact same pipe as the Tenor C on the 4' Flute and so on, so that the 8', 4', 2 2/3', and 2' flutes all come from one extended rank of pipes.
On an Allen organ, the keyboards actually trigger the sound, and no matter how many triggers are sent at the same time, the oscillator can only do one thing, make it's tone at the pitch and volume it was built to.

 The Allen Renaissance Organ
The Allen Renaissance organ is played like a pipe organ and produces music almost indistinguishable from that of a pipe organ, but the sounds are produced by modern electronic circuitry and speakers rather than by pipes.
The sounds produced in organ pipes are made by exciting the air in the pipes either by blowing through vibrating reeds or over the edges of holes near the ends of the pipes.
Pipe organs not only require the very large numbers of pipes, but also wind chests to supply the air flow and very elaborate mechanical methods of coupling the keys on the keyboards to the levers that open and close to permit air to flow to the individual pipes.
