Hello friends,
In reply to enquiries on the sampleset - we have finally finished a 3 or 4 month stretch of absolutely CRAZY workload at church, so I hope to have the set done shortly - at least the 2m version. I have been so tired at the end of the day when I get home, that I have very little energy or patience for concentrating on samples.
I am planning to record most of the rest of the stops for the 2m tonight and tomorrow - there are only a few left to record (2 stops on the GT, 6 on the SW, 2 on the PD)
Right now, I am going at the rate of about a stop a day on editing (2 a day on pedal stops)
As soon as I have a target date, I'll take pre-orders for the 2m. Those wanting the 3M will be able to get it for the price difference...
There will also be a $40 "reeds only" package. Please note, there is no support from either myself or Martin for the reed set... you're on your own if you want to edit your HW 1.2x .organ files to use these stops. This is even MORE crucial when considering version 2... the database is much more involved, and neither Martin nor I will have time to write custom stoplists.... I don't say this to discourage you from buying the set, just being honest up front. There will, of course, be support for the full sampleset.
I'm also developing a second 3M .organ file that utilizes some of Martin's stops from the St. Anne organ... it fills out the spec even more.
Note that the previous stoplist for the 3m might change slightly before it is done... I've also got a fair number of those stops sampled now as well, so the wait for that release will be shorter...
Hope this helps
