Doesburg Walcker Organ - new version
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2020 2:44 am
When the Doesburg Walcker organ was recorded by Sonus Paradisi almost 10 years ago, it was a top sample set for that time. Today, I release a new version of this huge 4 manual organ. New sophisticated software tools allowed for better post-processing, and there were the dry channels recorded, but never used previously.
Since Hauptwerk has offered the convolution reverb, new life opens for the dry recorded samples. And I discovered, that it is a good idea to add a bit of the dry sound to the diffuse channels, the audio gets considerable presence and clarity. Therefore, the sample set is now 6 channel with the dry, diffuse and rear microphone perspectives. The Mixer allows for smooth blending of the perspectives.
The Doesburg v.2 is totally better sample set than what was the old version. It is incomparable. You can try and judge yourself, of course. There is a free demo sample set, and the 7-days trial full set sample set can be found on the Sonus Paradisi e-shop. http://www.sonusparadisi.cz/en/blog/doesburg-demo/
There is a new feature introduced, which I will try to add to all my sample sets in future, and that is the Pipe Coupling feature. It is a huge step in the realism of a virtual Hauptwerk organ model. Read about it more details: http://www.sonusparadisi.cz/en/blog/pip ... henomenon/
When installing the sample set, do not forget to download fresh licencing packages from the Milan Digital Audio web!
Because there were new features introduced to the sample set, it is not fully backward compatible with the old version. Therefore, the combinations and settings saved with the old version may not be usable in the version 2. I am sorry. The stops previously saved into the Hauptwerk combination system should work in the new version, but the swell and crescendo pedals changed the MIDI wiring.
