Dear All,
According to the polls at the IA Knowledge Base many of us would prefer cathedral acoustics as an option to concert hall acoustics - so now it’s here!
The PAB Medium Edition is ready and is available now as a download, with selectable CSA cathedral acoustics, out-of-the-box.
Most important features:
1) The PAB Medium Edition is a 3-manual version of the PAB organ with 45 stops, 2 swellboxes and 2 tremulants. These 45 stops were selected according to the opinion of multiple professional organists.
2) PAB Medium Edition ships with two ODF files. One loading the original concert hall acoustics and the other that loads the organ with CSA cathedral acoustics. No additional equipment or software is needed, the cathedral acoustics comes out-of-the-box. CSA is a feature of the Extended Edition of PAB, but was made available to the Medium Edition to allow immediate use. CSA acoustics shipping with PAB is based on multiple measurements at a real cathedral match-processed to PAB’s semi-dry recording. The reverb provided is of 6 seconds in length and 3 independent release layers for each sample are available.
This is a first preliminary, non-musical live play with the PAB Medium Edition with the out-of-the-box CSA cathedral acoustics:

Real performances will be posted soon.

3) Loading requirements for the Medium Edition:
- Concert Hall Acoustics: 6.60 GB of RAM: losless mem compression, all loops, all layers, 16 bit.
- CSA Cathedral Acoustics: 6.87 GB of RAM: losless mem compression, first loops, all layers, 16 bit.
4) The size of the Medium Edition is 32 GB, so it can be downloaded in about a day (depending on FTP client software and connection speed). First 6 packages installs the concert hall acoustics, the second 6 package adds cathedral acoustics to the collection.
5) The Medium Edition is priced at $399. As manufacturing allows it will be available later at $499 in a physical box as well.
All smaller editions are upgradeable to the Medium Edition and the Extended Edition is coming soon with CSA acoustics and with even more features.
