In the meantime I had the opportunity to play with the full (extended) sampleset of this organ a lot of time. Compared to the demo-sampleset I tested before, with the full version I reached a different conclusion: Yes, it is not a typical Klais-organ, and Augustine explained it in detail why.
But: This sampleset offers a lot of interesting and well sounding stops. And in addition this becomes more interesting and flexible, because Augustine added a lot of couples (which dont exist in the original organ). You can just couple everything on every manual to get the mixed (combined) sound of stops you like. Ok, this is very unusual and I have never seen this before with an sampleset for hauptwerk. Yes, if it is used extensively it distorts the original sound of the organ and the traditional organplayers (purists
) may not be happy with this. But why not? After experimenting with these possibility a lot of time I would like to have this feature (to couple whatever wherever you want) for other samplesets too.
Summary: It's not a typical Klais-organ, but an interesting sampleset with a lot of possibilities for a very reasonable price. And if you use it well, it sounds well (especially if you do a lot of improvisation as I do).
