Bückeburg was the sample set I decided to go with this evening as I played the BWV565 Toccata over and over and over again to entertain the trick or treaters. Many didn't notice, but those who looked through the window seemed pretty astonished to discover a man in a pumpkin suit actually playing an ...

"That said, it's pretty strange that Eurozone and Euro currency aren't listed in the menu, despite the multitude of other options. Let's hope that isn't a sign" Don't worry, there are options to use PayPal and other payment methods which solve this issue. Ivan I was concerned it was a sign of post ...

Looks interesting. I've been looking for a classic English cathedral organ, and while I don't know this one all that well, the stop list looks pretty much perfect. I'll await the demos in due course.

Really appreciate the responses, mnailor. Thank you!

That's fascinating, thank you. So for all the French romantic music with the classic PR in one hand (melody, say) vs R in the other (accompaniment), the player will have to find an alternative. I can't believe I'm only discovering this now!

I was looking at the spec for Sam Sleath's Rouen composite, and it reads like the positif couples to the récit rather than the other way around. I now see it's labelled in the same way on the real instrument. Does this reflect an actual coupling quirk on this instrument, or does the récit couple to t ...

Here's a potentially stupid question, and apologies if so, but do you have to manually turn the blower on for this virtual instrument? I don't know it myself, but a screenshot I saw online suggests this might be a possibility.

I love the sound of this set, and the spec seems ideal. I think it's time I bought a new sample set.

That's very helpful, thank you. I'll do some more research.

I'm delighted to hear you got it working again!

Could you tell me more about plug in magnetic reed switches? My pedalboard is also old, and the connections are in need of some TLC. I would love a simpler solution if it existed.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your setup, why not just replace the reed switch? As noted above, that's what worked for me given the exact same circumstances (i.e. once I got the note working by repeated presses, it would generally then work for the rest of that practice session, but next time I'd be ...

I have the same problem with my pedalboard. In my case I had some bad joints to the reed switches. Jiggling them a bit worked until I broke one completely. I've replaced that but now others are temperamental. I swear when I get this sorted I'm never moving the pedalboard again!

I used to take the two manual approach to some awkward parts of Messiaen's "Transport de Joie". I don't think it's cheating if it works!

I'm also using those Iiyama screens, in both portrait and landscape mode, on an arm with a Vesa mount. Now, admittedly I need to go into the settings on the PC to swap between landscape and portrait, they don't auto-sense or anything like that, but that's fine for me. The useful thing is that ...

I have a dreadful habit of playing too far up the keys and inadvertently hitting pistons, so my vote is "as far away as possible"!
