A dynamic record of how the musician stroked the keyboard as they performed is permanently stored in [[Millennium_Carillon|Millennium]] and [[Platinum_Carillon|Platinum]] carillons. Several arrangements for specific sizes of bell instruments are stored in permanent memory as virtual piano rolls. These arrangements are played on the selected bell voice in real time in a similar fashion as an old player piano.

Music is stored in the [[Six-SS_Carillon|Six-SS]] carillon as a media recording called a track. These tracks are created using a special studio prototype of the Platinum carillon and a recording computer that captures the performance completely in the digital domain, eliminating the noise and distortion caused by analog converters.
A dynamic record of how the musician stroked the keyboard as they performed each song is permanently stored in our AX carillons (no MP3 files). For each song, appropriate arrangements for specific sizes of bell instruments are stored in permanent memory as virtual piano rolls. These arrangements trigger the playback of individual bell recordings in real time in a similar fashion as an old player piano.

With the selections available below, each arrangement type can have its own voice instrument selected (depending upon your model)


=== Six-SS Chime and Harp ===
=== Chime with harp bells ===
When enabled the carillon will play two-part arrangements. These arrangements play the melody without harmony notes on the chime along with chordal and arpeggiated harmony on an [[harp bells| harp bell]] instrument. The harp instrument may occasionally take the melodic solos as well.

=== Ethnic Additions ===
 
Orthodox churches may or may not wish to mix their music in with the standard library. For this reason, we download a custom Group-9 Almanac to the system prior to shipment. If the customer has the Management Suite, she may further customize this random group. Currently available ethnic Group-9 Almanac files are Hispanic, Polish, Greek, Ukranian and Byzantine.
 
Ethnic music addendum sheets are shipped with these systems.
 
== Multiple Arrangements ==


Millennium and Platinum carillons are loaded with up to three arrangements for each selection. With the harp voice turned on, the carillon will always play two part arrangement which can have melodic solos on the harp. When a user selects a preferred bell voice without the harp a special arrangement will be used to play the chime only. This arrangement does not have the harp part in it at all, and may or may not include some harmony bells played on the chime. Selecting a five-octave carillon voice will play a suitable carillon arrangement.
Selecting the five-octave carillon voice will play a suitable carillon arrangement. Most carillon selections are arranged in a traditional carillon performance style using stylistic variations and motifs to support the melody. Five-octave arrangements for the Platinum also have added sub-bourdon bass notes that are particularly stunning when our inSpire audio system is installed.


These arrangements are automatically selected based on the user's settings in Seasonal and Voicing Preferences.
Three-octave arrangements do not have the ornate embellishments that many of the five-octave arrangements feature.
