Please can I have some advice on a cost effective PC for use with a home practice organ.
I live in the UK am looking to run Hauptwerk with the St Anne's Moseley organ so I can practice at home. I have a homemade organ console (2 keyboards and a 32 note pedalboard) which is currently using an old Microsoft Surface laptop (Windows 10, i5-33170 dual core processor with 4Gb RM), a Behringer UMC404HD audio interface providing MIDI input from the pedalboard encoder and driving headphones/2 x Behringer Truth 2031A studio monitors) and a single Iiyama ProLite T2252MSC touch screen monitor).
I have seen that there are a number of topics on the forum about PC/MAC recommendations, but a lot of these are aimed at high end set ups with large organ samples and multiple audio channel outputs. At the moment my requirements are for a PC that can support organs with stereo audio output and 2 touch screen monitors for stop jambs and therefore I'm looking for recommendations around an Intel/AMD based processor together with memory sizing and a suitable graphics card for 3 monitor (main screen and 2 screens for stop jambs/organ controls). The PC will be dedicated to running Hauptwerk (with the necessary internet connection for the iLok cloud licensing).
Many thanks,
Richard
