Downloads - a "free stuff"
The sample sets which are available for free download below are offered as subsets of the full versions of the respective sample sets. The quality of the sampleset is the same as in the full version (i.e. 24-bit, 48kHz). The demo limitation consist in having only a small selection of stops available for each instrument. These small sample sets may be used for testing the sample set in your environment. When testing the sample set, please do not forget to:
-
switch off the MIDI velocity sensitivity in Hauptwerk General settings, especially if your hardware keyboard does not support MIDI velocity sensitivity.
-
switch on the wind model whenever possible,
-
use the dedicated temperament charts where available. The so called "Original Organ Tuning" in Hauptwerk is really the original tuning of the organ at the moment of the recording, which may be often a little rough, containing all the casual tuning errors which occurred during the recording session.
