Since I still have a lot of spare time during this pandemic, I finished another HW organ project.
This one, called "Les' CC Organ" is an imaginary medium-sized three-manual Cavaillé-Coll instrument. Although my software is free, you must purchase two small sample sets in order to use it.
Les' CC Organ uses samples from Piotr Grabowski's "Begard" and "Orolon" organs - both smaller two-manual Cavaillé-Coll instruments. I needed one more rank to complete my organ - a Clarinet - which comes form Piotr's free Cracow sample set. Hence, you need to have all three of Piotr's organs installed before loading mine. All of Piotr's organs can be found at

I based my organ mostly on the great Cavaille-Coll instrument in St. Sernin's Basilica in Toulouse, France. I am somewhat familiar with this organ from my trips to Toulouse in my day job.
Piotr's samples are superb. I used only the ones recorded wet and closer to the organs. These still have lots of reverb. Piotr, by the way, has announced his intention to create his own larger organ form these two. His will likely use all three sets of samples and allow more of a surround sound result. Mine, on the other hand, easily fits into 16 GB of RAM at 16-bit resolution.
You can see screen shots, specifications, and lots of information on how I did this at

As always, I make my CODM file available for people to study. It is particularly interesting this time because you can see how I achieved the "Anches" ventil mechanisms.
I am enjoying going through all my French romantic music again while isolating at home - using this new HW organ. I hope you also enjoy it.
