Posting works other than "organ solo"

[flydeltajets]

Hello all,

I have some music which I have arranged and sequenced for organ (Hauptwerk) and other instruments. I put the different instruments together in Audacity, and I was wondering if it is ok to post these on the Contrebombarde site, or is it stricly for organ solo?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!!

As long as it has Hauptwerk used in it, feel free to post it on Contrebombarde.com. Make sure you identify which sample set you used as well. There is also lots of room for notes to give your piece some context.

I have been asking for this type of thing for a while. Go for it.

Hi Darryl,

I have taken you up on the suggestion of posting something other than HW organ files on contrebombarde. I just set up a few computers to record straight from HW and used my "Grand Carillon" which I put together from various bell-like samples I recorded myself. The carillon is a non-organ HW instrument.

I found a wonderful midi file of a rag time version of "Little Rock Getaway" and recorded it for HW/Carillon. I hope this falls into the range of non-organ music you will approve of.

Hey Chris,

Funny. That wasn't what I was thinking at all. I was thinking organ + other instruments.

However, technically, it's Hauptwerk. It just shows off what Hauptwerk can do as a sample playback platform if people want to use it that way. Bravo!

BTW. personal note: I love Ragtime. So no complaints from me there. The rags were really fun.

Actually, I'm finding that certain pieces work out better on this carillon than on organ only.

However, my goal in setting up equipment to record directly from HW is to put together a CODM instrument that is mostly organ samples, though I will include the carillon as well. The HW1 carillon import has been a sort of fun-time side issue until I can get the much more capable CODM instrument going.

At this point I figure on using the ranks from the Anloo and Rabstejn organs for flue stops, due to their wonderful real up close pipe sounds. I think I'll use some of those beautiful reeds from the Milan dry Skinner, and perhaps some from a few of the Sonus Paradisi organs. I'd like to include strings (with celestes) from the Milan 3-31 TO as well.

I have never been able to plan so big before, but this Mac Pro has a dual dual-core and 28 GB of RAM. That can hold a pretty big instrument! I'm looking for an instrument that can produce good sounding music. It doesn't need to fit into any time period category or variety of instrument. It just needs to satisfy my desire to hear beautiful sounding music.

I will be working on the CODM between teaching assignments, as time allows.

And, BTW, a big thanks to you and Rob S. for this whole cotrebombarde thing! I know of a bunch of folks that "tune in" often, though they don't actually have HW themselves.
