You DON'T NEED to buy an Organ! Hauptwerk IS your Organ! What you want is an Organ Console with MIDI output. One great source for this is
https://www.midiworks.ca which can provide pretty much everything you need.
For my own System, I got a Console Table (which I assembled) and three Manual Keyboards (which stack together) and the Key-Cheeks (to make the Manual Stack look nice), and a MIDI Pedal Keyboard (32 notes, concave and radiating) with three "Expression Shoes" (which mount on the Pedal-Board to be used as Swell Pedals or a Crescendo Pedal). Also a nice Organ Bench (which I assembled).
The MIDI Output from the Console goes to a MIDI Interface by MOTU, which connects to the Computer via USB. Newer Consoles might connect directly via USB without this interface, depending.
I built a nice PC with plenty of RAM. I use a large Touch Screen to control the Stops and everything. This stands on the Console Table, right next to the Keyboards. I got a top-quality Digital-to-Analog Converter from RME, which feeds into a pre-amp (Headphone Amplifier) by PreSonus. This feeds two sets of AKG Headphones... one for me and one for my wife. A third output goes to a Sub-Woofer Amplifier, which in turn feeds two "Tactile Transducers" (Silent Subwoofers) by Dayton Audio. One of these is mounted on the Organ Bench; the other rests on my wife's lap during performances. With the Sub-Woofers enabled, we can FEEL the deep Bass of those 32-foot pipes just fine... very nearly as good as being there!
Everything about this can be customized to taste. The whole project is a lot of fun and TREMENDOUSLY rewarding! And then... you can begin collecting some of the finest Organ Sample Sets available! Full-Sized and Full-Featured Theatre Pipe Organs, plus classical Pipe Organs of every description... Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern... from Churches, Cathedrals, and Concert Halls around the World!
My advice is: Go For It!
And for whatever questions may arise... folks here on the Forum will be delighted to help out! All the Best to you with your new Project!
