Among the many pipe organs available for Hauptwerk only a few have sampled dry or extra-dry. The possibilities of "reverb" are numerous and not always easy for the end user to focus the acoustic in which to immerse the sound. Among the various possibilities it seems to me that the most used are those based on convolution of IR (Impulse Response). There is also to say that different programs behave differently using the same IR file (for example Altiverb and Pristine Space, the first dark, the second light). Is certain that the quality of IR is the critical element and it is not uncommon to find IR created synthetically.
Premise the following new
Hauptwerk v4.1.0 (scheduled for 2nd half 2010)
• Main focus will be to add support for high-performance convolution within Hauptwerk itself.and
• Ramsete, Catt, Odeon, Ulyxes, Ease, Raynoise, etc.., Are all programs based on Diverging Beams (cones, pyramids, or the like).I wonder if the experts can do a little 'light on an area as challenging as fascinating.
To be more explicit, I created a representative example on dry Skinner Our Lady of Mount Carmel:
