Development
Rieger founded its own electronic development department years ago because the legitimate expectations of the organists, who cooperate with us, could increasingly not be met by the commercially available electronic combination systems.
The goal of our electronics department was to develop an innovative and user-friendly electronic system that we can maintain and support at all stages of development, independently of external providers.
Rieger Electronic Assistant (REA)
With Rieger Electronic Assistant (REA), we have created an integrative combination and control system that is continually being developed further with new ideas and is now in its second generation. These days, REA is one of the most innovative and leading organ control systems in the world.
New paths are created by walking them.
Franz Kafka
The hallmark of the REA system is the complete control of the organ. This is a system for all applications of the key and stop actions (“integrative combination system”). The system can be operated in the standard way by using numbers, in title mode and in concert mode - each with three inserts.
High functionality
If the organ has electric key and stop actions, then in addition to the combination function, the system also has a recording and playback function. Both with the latter and with the combination function, one can save almost unlimited titles and recordings. In addition to the cloud as an intermediate memory location, functions such as divided pedals, adjustable swell pedal allocations, sostenuto, sostenuto+, and much more can be implemented (various applied functions).
Because all electronic actions in instruments with REA systems are also documented in the company’s server, Rieger can offer remote maintenance - regardless of where the organ is located. This allows errors to be fixed and updates to be carried out ‘at a distance’ if necessary.
