HW 5 updated sample set availability

I thought it might be helpful to share what details we have about the availability of HW 5 format samples. Please update this thread with any details you have about sample sets which need a new version to run under HW 5.0. Some suppliers may email existing customers but I’ve not received anything yet.

Pipe loops. Available via their website.

Sonus Paradisi. Available via their website. Additional IRS available. see blog on website for details.

Audio Angelorum. HW 5 version being offered via website for new licences. Contact them directly to upgrade existing licences to HW 5.0. (No charge for upgrade of sample sample set edition to HW 5 version).

Organ Art Media. Available. Contact the reseller from whom you bought the samples. Contact OAM only if you purchased directly from them (from posting in forum).

Lavender Audio. No information yet.

Paramount. No information yet.

MDA. No information on sample set updates for HW 5 availability.

Sygsoft. No information on their website at this time.

Piotr Grabowski. One of these sets is encrypted. No news about HW 5.0 yet on his website.

Martin Posted this list of those sample set producers who he understands have updated their encrypted sample sets:

However, I would still say it's worth checking directly.

I thought it might help to have a list of those which are available.

Lavender Audio. Available. see http://www.lavenderaudio.co.uk/support/index.html

Inspired Acoustics. Available. See their website,

MDA: no information about HW5 compatible samplesets!
Does anyone know more about it?

I purchased a MDA set yesterday and was asked for iLok details. Received an activation code. Need to install yet, but it seems it will work/only work with HW V.

Melotone Productions also updated their commercial sets. The donationware is unencrypted.

I assume that this applies to newly purchased HW5 sets
But for migration HW4 sets to HW5 ??

I've just spoken to Brett and he will be posting a PDF document with download links for all of the v5 versions of Milan Digital Audio and Paramount sample sets on the forum soon.

where will it be posted at?

Hello fchazz,

Brett said he would get to it absolutely as soon as he could (which I think currently he hopes might be tomorrow).

Lavender Audio. Available. see http://www.lavenderaudio.co.uk/support/index.html

I've seen a couple of posts that state Lavender Audio HW5 samples are available and can be accessed via their support page. Maybe I need new glasses but I've examined it several times and can find no mention of HW5. Many updates are listed there but they appear to be updates to his existing sets (to correct errors, add new features, etc), but I see no download links for HW5 compatible samples. I hope the situation is that I do indeed need new glasses because I use the Hereford Cathedral set all the time.

All Evensong/CLR sets that require updating are available, including a V5 version of FCCLA, which we are hosting as a courtesy to customers of CLR who purchased that set in the past.

Best to all,

The heading of the Lavender Audio page is Hauptwerk 5 https://www.lavenderaudio.co.uk/support/index.html.

Oh wow.... It displays that with Chrome but not Firefox. My Firefox browser brings up his original support page. Thanks Iain.

This is what I see..

Is there an updated list of organs that work with the new HW 5 encryption? The decision to upgrade is solely determined by the availability of compatible organs. Specifically I'm wondering about the Connoisseur Theatre Organ Series of instruments.

The extremely short discount upgrade coupon time period makes it very difficult to deal with these major licensing and download changes? The timing of this in December is poor too, when customers don't have hours or days to figure out how to deal with compatibility, license issues, and upgrading. Is it possible to upgrade to HW 5 to use the coupon and then get a full refund if it is determined that certain desired (and already paid for) organs are not actually available with the new HW 5 encryption?

Where do we download the newly encrypted versions? Do these downloads amount to a small file or the multi-gigabyte files that contain all samples?
