The Compass

The original compass of the manuals is 4 octaves without the lowest C#, D#, F#, G#. The pedal compass is 18 tones. This is carefully modeled in the original version of the ODF. The extension of the manual and the pedal is offered in another ODF: the manual extends to 4 and half octaves (up to f), the pedal has 32 tones (up to g), the bass octave chromaticised.

Sample Quality

The samples are offered in 24bit/48kHz quality, multiple releases (3 levels). The reverberation time is up to 4 seconds for the ambiental versions. Special Temperament chart is offered for the installation to emulate the original organ tuning. The sample set is presented in 3 different versions:

• Wet: distant recording capturing the original acoustics of the church.
  • RAM requirements:
    • 24-bit : 2.0 GB
       
• Surround: the surround recording uses 4 independent channels for each virtual pipe (for each sample). The sound of the organ pipes is captured by the front microphones, the church response by the rear microphones. The 4 channels are extracted from the recording amd assembled to the sample set. The two front channels are used to supply the sound of the organ to the front speakers, while the 2 other channels offer the response of the church. You can use these two channels to feed your surround (rear) speakers. Please note, that at least 4 speakers are needed to reproduce the multi-channel audio.
  • RAM requirements:
    • 24-bit : 3.6 GB
       
• Dry: the samples offer the close-up recording of individual pipes. Unlike the conventional mono-panned sample sets, this is multi-channel dry recording, offering 3 natural channels for each pipe: the left, the right and the center. The rank routing dialog below shows the mapping of the channels to the audio outputs of your multi-channel audio system. If you use only 2-channel system (stereo), you can still use the sample set, by simply muting the unused channels.
  This sample set may be used well in self-reverberant spaces (such as churches) or it may be mixed with the digital reverb. By the addition of digital reverb you can virtually "move" the organ into various spaces according to your need and your liking. You may try the convolution reverberation using the IR´s offered by our Hauptwerk.cz partners.
  • RAM requirements:
    • 24-bit: 1.85 GB

The rank routing dialog box for the dry version of the sample set: each stop is composed of the two virtual "ranks" containing various audio channels. The left and right channels are marked by the "L-R" sign. You should route these virtual ranks into your main audio output (left and right speaker). If you have also the center speaker, you can route the ranks labeled with the "C" into this center speaker.
