If you read about the basic concept of Hauptwerk, the objective is to capture known pipe organs as they sound in their respective acoustic environment thus giving very convincing realism. Surround sound sample sets up the ante by recording pipes close, near, and far that allows mutlichannel audio to recreate the feeling of actually being there.
With the Hereford and other live or "wet" sample sets, you can trim the length of the reverb tails in
Organ | Load organ, adjusting rank audio/memory options menu.
The last adjustment in the config box is "Release sample truncation". This will need to be applied to each rank you load. To allow for a more natural decay, you will need to experiment with the different trim options otherwise it will like a deliberate cut off. Since the Hereford is a large set, maybe load just the Great Diapason chorus during this trail & error phase since each trim adjustment results in a new cache build.
There are a few "dry" sample sets available with no natural reverb. Here you will need to supply your own signal processing (reverb) by a hardware or software solution. Then you can safely tweak the style and right amount reverb your desire.
Hope this helps,
