Arjan,
Thank-you for that information. However, I am in London at the moment and my organ is in Wiltshire.
Organopleno,
I ordered it on 14th February so I would imagine it is the current version then.
Thank-you both for your help.
There is another strange thing which I have noticed with the sample set, and that is that, with some of the principal stops, quite often at the beginning of the note the sound fades in gradually (maybe over a fifth of a second or a bit less) in a way that doesn't sound like the starting transient of a pipe speaking. It doesn't always happen, so I suppose the attack is multi-sampled and only some of the samples behave like that. It seems to affect several different surround channels so I don't think it is the perspective of the microphones. However, I don't like it very much. I haven't experimented enough to define exactly when it occurs - I am waiting until I have installed more RAM so that I can see if it goes away with all channels working properly. I would also like to listen again to recordings of this organ (of which I have quite a few) for comparison. However, I would be interested to know if anybody else has noticed the same thing. I don't know anything about sample production, but I would imagine that the recording of a sample starts before the note is played and the beginning of the recording is trimmed, maybe with a brief fade-in at the start - if that is the case then perhaps some of these samples are fading in too slowly. It is intrusive enough to have put me off playing this organ, and has been quite surprising as SP samplesets usually sound so natural. I got Noordbroek at the same time, which is so good that I can hardly tear myself away from playing it to the exclusion of everything else.
