My computer at home is controlled by Windows 10 Pro besturingssysteem. De processor is een Intel Core i7-3770 CPU 3.40Ghz 3.40 Ghz
The installed memory is 32 GB. This is necessary, because the sounds I use reguire 1.8GB RAM above what Windows already use.
The soundcard is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. Together with two active monitorsppeakers Tannoy, Reveal 5A Active.
The old situation.
I'am happy that I now (18-12-2013) can tell you that my new console from Hoffrichter has arrived! Here the pictures.
The new situation.
And in oktober 2015 I've bought 2 speaker floor stands.
The hardware on the photo's are a Touchscreen LG, pedal, organ stand, bench and lectern of the organ builder Laukhuff from Germany.
The keyboards in the old situation were Korg X5D. In het the new situation a MS 3 Block from Hoffrichter.
I found an excellent organ, a Marcussen & Son of the organ at St. Stephen Church in Moerdijk.
And since April 20, 2011 I bought a new organ at http://www.hauptwerk.nl/welkomen.php: the sound of an organ of Willem van Leeuwen. The instrument is in the Boezemkerk in Bolnes NL. Recorded in 2007. You may not organs in time to compare, but if you Marcussen & Son will compare with Willem van Leeuwen, then the last one wins. The Rugwerk sounds really close behind your back. The main work latch slightly further away. I also think that the rise times of the sounds faster.
Other tools I use are a clavichord, a two-manual harpsichord Mietke, a living organ of PRIB Chamber Organ, an Italian organ from 1600 of Antegnati in St. Carlo, Brescia, an organ from 1741 Müller, Oosterwijtwerd.
The whole is controlled by Hauptwerk. There is also a company in Vollenhove, Netherlands where I can go with my questions.
It's like a friend of mine once told me when he was visiting: "Many churches were violently jealous of your organ. It sounds fantastic.That's true, because when I press a button, you hear the sound of a professionally sampled pipe.
And finally, the organ where it all began: is that of Stiehr-Mockers Romanswiller from Alsace, France. An earley attempt to construct a French Baroque organ. This organ was built in 1843 for Romanswiller.
Why all that trouble? Now, it is wonderful to be able to play at home and not to climb on the bike and enter a cold church, 500 meters away, to study.
An update from 5-10-2021
I have moved and bought a new organ bench from https://www.orgelbau-weise.de/ and new monitor speakers from PreSonus. The Eris 5 as monitor speakers and the Temblor T8 as an active subwoofer. The sound card is also from PreSonus, an Audio Box USB96. It all sounds very neutral.
You can see the new situation below.
