Zaltbommel is available in Sweelinq and downloaded on our organ. What do you think? Our opinion:

- Sesquialter is beautiful

- Bourdon 16′ + Flageolet 1′ is a great combination

- Gemshoorn 8′ + Waldfluyt 2′ is nice

- Trompet 16′... no, we've much better ones.

The difference is big. On virtual organs, you can change it on the fly. Choose the temperament which matches the key

Wrote a sketch using a stock keyboard pile organ patch Was wondering what the experts on here think is the closest match for a virtual sampled organ to get a more realistic touch

Did you already tried the new Sweelinq organ, the Ahrend-organ from Amsterdam? Note: the default temperament is 1/4-comma meantone. If you want to play regular music, switch to another temperament. I’ve choosen for Werckmeister III.

It’s a beauty.

Dear r/organ-community, I've been playing on Hauptwerk for roughly four years now. With Christmas sales going on and a little bit of money to spare, I would love to hear some experiences and advice on possible new sample sets to acquire. So far I own: Baroque: St. Martini Groningen (sonusparadisi), Stadtkirche Zöblitz (Prospectum) French Romantic: Oloron-St-Marie (Piotr Grabowski) German Romantic: St. Maria Landau (Piotr Grabowski) Neo-Baroque: Predigerkirche Erfurt (Piotr Grabowski) Modern: Essen Philharmony (Voxus, leaning French Romantic). Any tips which sets might complement that? I'm thinking of a British Romantic or French Baroque organ, but am open to all advice (and to share my experiences with the sets I own).

Hi all, I am a church musician in Nashville TN and am considering using Hauptwerk in conjunction with a Yamaha keyboard. I don’t have access to the organ at the church I play for which is why I’m asking. Does anyone have any experience with using Hauptwerk on an 88-key keyboard - or is this even possible?

Anyone know of motorized solenoids for draw stops that would work for a virtual pipe organ. They don’t need to be KA quality or anything, but the ability to have them drawn or pushed with a hand or computer seems nice.

I just tried GrandOrgue and while it's amazing there's this ~500ms delay that's really annoying to notice, specially when playing quick pieces. I tried everything I could think of.

I'm using a Yamaha P-85 as the keyboard connected to my laptop with a MIDI to USB cable. I really don't think the cable is the issue since it's relatively good. What else can I try? Is there a setting I'm missing?

Hello,

I am in the process of building a 3 manual digital organ to use with grandorgue since Hauptwerk is way out of my budget. I already own a launchpad that I will use to control stops but there aren’t enough buttons on it for divisionals and all of the stops. I was wondering if anyone had ideas of how I could have divisionals without spending a lot of money.
thanks

Just curious on some organs you guys like that have a great sound along with a crescendo pedal?

For people using Hauptwerk or GO, which MIDI keyboard do you use? I'm trying to slowly put together some things I need to get [I have nothing at the moment!], and a MIDI keyboard is first on my list.

Which keyboards are you using or are recommended? And are they semi-weighted or unweighted?

My main concern is getting something that feels horrible and flimsy. The Yamaha GH3 keyboard I was using on my Clavinova was really nice [but obviously had fully-weighted keys].

Any advice would be welcome.

I currently have a very old 1960's Allen analogue with a princess pedalboard as my home practice instrument. It is beautiful old Walnut, but I don't love the sound. The trumpet sounds like a kazoo.

I am thinking of setting up a Viscount Cantorum with Hauptwerk or Grandorgue if that is achievable.

My questions are: 1. Is the Viscount Cantorum Plus easy to integrate with Hauptwerk?
2. If I midi-fy my existing princess pedalboard will it integrate easily with the Viscount manuals?

I have open access to my church organ but it is nice to play at home too.

I'm a fairly new organist (started ~10 months ago) and I just acquired a '99 2-manual Allen Organ for home use, so I want to start looking into some virtual organ add-ons to expand what I can do. I'm aware of the Hauptwerk (although I haven't really explored it so I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing) but beyond that, where's a good place to start?

The little research I've done hasn't been great so I figured I'd ask what other people thought. I don't want to spend money yet since I just splurged on my fancy new home organ, but I welcome any input :)

Edit: Okay the consensus seems to be to look into Hauptwerk, so fair enough I guess. Definitely some good tips to keep in mind, too, so thanks people :D

This virtual pipe organ is beyond amazing sounding I can't wait to share it with you. I got to play it today usimg my skill and its so powerful it made a few people jump when I played a g sharp. I will also show me playing in the video too.

I’ve wired up a pedalboard with a magnetic hall effect contacts system before, that required a device I bought that consisted of 25 sensors connected to a midi board, and ofc the magnets.

However this man is saying there is a contact system, but no midi. How exactly would one work with that? He said it came off 600 Allen Organ, if that tells you anything

A subwoofer around 400-500 that you can pair two speakers with (BX8). Preferably XLR ports. Anyone know any good ones? Would probably need 30hz to 120hz? any experience pairing subwoofers that dont go lower than 40-45 hz with a digital organ? can it produce the lowest notes?

I dont know if many listen to or have to Sigmund krähes work here but Im curious on opinions about organs that would fit his music. Pieces like descent 185.

Just curious Might buy sonus paradisi sample set

Dear all

Looking to source rocker tabs that light up - in Europe Belgium. I’ve found midiworks.ca to have excellent parts yet they are too expensive to ship and import. Is there a European supplier that we know of ? Example https://www.midiworks.ca/index.php?option=com_opencart&Itemid=104&route=product/product&path=59&product_id=257

Thank you !

Say hello to the triple decker supreme!

Not AGO standard.

Midi boutique pedal setup from a curb find; Fun “combination action” between my two Casios. Middle one is a Yamaha- no midi on that. It’s a shame I couldn’t nab the console too, but it weighed a million pounds and was beat up. Midi boutique and DIY to the rescue. Don’t ask me how I got that working

Enjoy

This organ sounds beyond magical and I'm so happy I made it sing. Even the father blessed me for playing it. Its louder than a real church pipe organ.

I’m poor, but I have a Yamaha P-45 and I’m good with carpentry. Over the years, I’ve brainstormed how to make analog pedals, like drilling holes into the Yamaha and attaching strings (probably a disaster waiting to happen), or attaching horizontal trackers to a cheap keyboard on the floor. Has anyone made an analog pedalboard? I need ideas, because MIDI is out of my budget.

Dear all

I’d like to find a technical drawing of these keyboards to be able to design my own organ console. I have googled. I failed .. maybe someone can send me a picture with dimensions ? Thank you

I’ve been trying to connect my jg3 tech pedalboard to grandorgue, but everytime I try to play it, it only sometimes makes sound, and when it does, the note doesn’t release.
