Dear forum members,
I'm happy to announce a new extension for the Utrecht sample-set from Sonus Paradisi. This is a smaller scale extension compared to the 4-manual Caen extension (and the Rotterdam extension that is in progress).
New features in this extension:
1. The keyboard and pedal ranges are extended to AGO standards (5 octaves for the keyboards and 32 notes for the pedal). There are switches that enable:
3. A "Simplified Jamb" has been added that:
Besides the "Original Organ Tuning", all features in the original Utrecht sample-set will work as before. The "Equal Temperament" is selected by default, but of course you can load other temperaments you have as well.
It was not feasible to extend the sampled tremulants that are included in the Utrecht extension since the speed of the tremulant changes for these samples when they are repitched within Hauptwerk. Consequently, for the highest notes added to each rank with a sampled tremulant, the Hauptwerk tremulant model is used.

Range Extensions
Ordering:
Before you can use this extension, you must first own the Utrecht V2.5 sample-set from Sonus Paradisi. Note that it is NOT included with the extension. It can be purchased from Sonus Paradisi here.
The price for this Utrecht extension is US $25. If you are interested in purchasing this extension, please send me an email at customhworgansATgmailDOTcom or contact me via PM on the forum.
Other extensions:
Most of this extension was built using an automated procedure, and so it would be relatively quick to do similar extensions for other samplesets. Feel free to make suggestions for particular sample-sets for which you'd like to have a small extension of similar scope to the one described above.
Thanks, and best regards,
Jake

1. The keyboard and pedal ranges are extended to AGO standards (5 octaves for the keyboards and 32 notes for the pedal). There are switches that enable:
- a) the original Utrecht compass (Manuals: C-f3, Pedal: C-d1)
b) the extended compass added by Sonus Paradisi (Manuals: C-g3, Pedal: C-f1)
b) AGO compass (Manuals: C-c4, Pedal: C-g1)
3. A "Simplified Jamb" has been added that:
- a) includes the standard 8' AGO couplers (HW+PD, RW+PD, BW+PD, RW+HW, BW+HW, BW+RW)
b) has the bas/diskant splits removed (i.e. the splits are removed from the HW Mixtuur, RW Touzijn, and BW Vox Humana)
c) has indicators added for the RW and BW swell pedals
