Specifications and screenshots of the Doksy-Kruh organ (1627) - Hauptwerk

• Each pipe of the instrument was sampled one by one including the original reverberation of the room.
• The reverberation is rather short, 1-2 seconds. A "moist" sample set.
• All the processing took place in 24 bit depth at 48kHz rate.  As the organ was in perfect condition there was not much wind leakage resulting in very clear sound requiring almost no denoising. The "presence" of the sound could be, therefore, well preserved.
• Multiple loops in each sample (at least 3 loops per sample).
• The mean tone tuning was preserved. The Hauptwerk version 2 allows re-tuning the samples "on-the-fly" according to the wish of the performer.
• The sample set is available in 24 bit depth and 48 kHz sample rate.
• The compass of the manual is C1-C5, pedal C1-C3. The compass may be extended digitally in Hauptwerk.
• The RAM consumption when fully loaded: 943 MB.
• Requires 973x827 px screen resolution.
• The individual ranks of the instrument can be used to form custom user organs.

Updates:

Doksy-Kruh 2-manual extension, version 1.2: extended compass of the manuals to 89-F and the pedal to 62-D. So, the manuals are now 4 and half octave long, the pedal is 2 octaves + 2 tones.

Doksy-Kruh MINI, version 1.01: initial chiff may now be controlled via MIDI velocity sensitive keyboard.

Doksy-Kruh original, version 1.1. An updated organ definition file for the original 1 manual version of the Doksy-Kruh instrument. Altered MIDI velocity behavior (less pitch decrease, more attenuation for better initial chiff control), altered voicing behavior: the values set at the voicing page are now "remembered" by Hauptwerk.

Doksy-Kruh 2-manual extension, version 1.1. An updated organ definition file for the 2-manual extension of the Doksy-Kruh instrument. Altered MIDI velocity behavior (less pitch decrease, more attenuation for better initial chiff control), altered voicing behavior: the values set at the voicing page are now "remembered" by Hauptwerk.

Doksy-Kruh 2-manual extension, version 1.01. An updated organ definition file for the 2-manual extension of the Doksy-Kruh instrument is available. It has only a minor correction: the highest rank of the Mixture sounds now better in the highest octave. After downloading, install into Hauptwerk in the usual way.

Doksy-Kruh double manual extension specification

To allow performing more organ repertoir the extension ODF was prepared with the following specifications:

RAM consumption when fully loaded at 16 bit, 48kHz: 1 231 MB.

Old version - Hauptwerk 1

The sample set is completely prepared for the Hauptwerk version 2 with multiple loops in each sample (at least 3 loops per sample). It will be available when HW 2 appears. The mean tone tuning was preserved. The Hauptwerk version 2 will allow to re-tune the samples "on-the-fly" according to the wish of the performer.

Only at the very end all the samples were downsampled to suit Hauptwerk version 1 specifications (16 bits, 44.1kHz, 1 loop). The compass of manual is C1-C5, pedal C1-C3. The compass will be extended as follows: manual 36-C to 89-F, pedal 36-C to 65-F when the Hauptwerk version 2 appears. There are several organ definition files (ODF) derived from the sound material of the organ:
