Hello everyone, hot on the heels of my own exploration of Hauptwerk plus orchestra, Aaron Shows has written three short pieces to showcase the combination of Hauptwerk with modern orchestral sample libraries. The organ featured here is the delicious Reuter of Temple Beth Israel in Portland sampled ...

Hi Stephen, I have a video about this - the HW9 step to find the routing dialogs is here: from the touch menu, navigate to Settings -> Keyboards https://i.imgur.com/6sVmdnNl.png Here is my video - and the process is the same once you have the Organ Keyboards dialog open https://www.youtube.com/watch ...

I am so thrilled to hear it is all working. Honestly I have just been enjoying the set in earnest myself these past couple of weeks - It has fast become my go-to and fills the gap for the dream English organ I always wanted. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to be part of this. Martin's ...

Outstanding - thank you so much Martin!
The learning journey continues!!!

Unfortunately there is no way as a developer to "force" these samples to load in 16 bit only, so we have placed notes at various points. Hello Jerry, If I recall correctly: if (within the sample set) you save all of the samples in those particular 'ranks' in 16-bit, then Hauptwerk would always load ...

Thanks Iain - I suspect that might be it Definitely make sure to load the ambience ranks in 16 bit The reason for this: since we wanted the ambience to be a key feature of the set, and considering they will therefore play for a long time, they are a set of samples that are up to 10 minutes long each ...

What are people's recommendation for those with 3 manual consoles? Floating manuals or just assign Choir/Echo to one keyboard or what?? Thanks Steve My current preference: I leave the solo completely un-assigned and then use any of the native couplers to bring it to swell/great/choir as needed Solo ...

Thanks Mark and Jerry, Reeds on Choir: The three GT reeds are transferred to the CH and no longer play on GT. Tromba on Choir: Turns on the above transfer plus the GT Tromba 8. I don't understand: the three GT reeds are Tromba 16/8/4, so "Reeds/Tromba on Choir” is the same(?) I think I see where t ...

Regarding the demo: ..., if you could clarify when the 7 days starts: Hi Julian, (If Martin Dyde or Francois sees this they might also chime in: since the demo functionality is controlled by iLok.) My understanding is that the timer will start as soon as you redeem/activate the iLok code. This step ...

I have a question about Reeds on Choir and Tromba on Choir. Which reeds are coupled to Choir? Tromba presumably the one from the Great? Which stops or Divisions are affected by Doubles Off? Reeds on Choir: The three GT reeds are transferred to the CH and no longer play on GT. Tromba on Choir: Turns ...

Thank you so much Malcolm for your kind words! It's been a journey, and I'm glad to have been able to play my small part in all of this. The release video is scheduled for 3pm EST today and features the following lineup Robert Quinney: Marcel Dupré - Prelude and Fugue in B major Katherine Dienes- ...

Thank you for this great suggestion and development Mark and Martin! I had not previously conceived that one could adjust this using wet pre-delay - hence having the baked-in delay of 30,50,80.... Here is a download link to ah updated set of IR files which includes my prior delay, but also one with ...

Hello everyone, there has been some wonderful discussion about using these IR files with a new update suggested by Mark Nailor I have added a 0ms delay (no delay, no reverb) which can then be used to allow setting a custom delay with the "wet pre-delay" option in the hauptwerk mixer.

Hi everyone, Aaron Shows has been making the most of the Warrington CC and made this incredibly entertaining video to showcase some non-traditional musical styles on the instrument (and credit to Jiri it holds up incredibly well). I love that there's even an atmospheric "Sonus Paradisi" introduction ...

Meanwhile my initial impressions of the instrument are just fantastic - congratulations to team Evensong: I'll be posting some recordings to the usual locations in the coming days; and will update my review.
I'm thrilled to have this in the collection!!!
