Dear Sonus Paradisi Sample Set User!
I am delighted to present the Sauer Organ Model of Sonus Paradisi. I have just published the sample set of the Sauer organ at Chemnitz, Lutherkirche. The German romantic instrument of 3 manuals, pedals, and alltogether 50 stops. Plus, as usual, a rich demo version is available for free download. The demo version offers all the stops of the first manual. The sample set works in HW 4.2 as well as in Hauptwerk 5.
The sample set consists of 8 channels: the direct, diffuse, distant and rear recording perspectives. Using the built-in mixer, it is possible to achieve any desired mix of perspectives. For those who prefer simple stereo, the distant channels are sold solo in a form of a wet sample set.
Sauer organs were praised for the perfect manufacturing, excellent materials, technically perfect layout, finest possible voicing based on a plenitude of foundation stops, including all sorts and shapes of flutes ranging from pianissimo to forte, always paired with string stops for a proper tone balance of each dynamic level. This careful specification provided the smoothest possible dynamic progression. Sauer organs were inspired by French organ building, and Wilhelm Sauer apprenticed with none other than Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. Later, Sauer departed from the French design esthetic and developed a specific German romantic style. It is the organ type for the music of Max Reger, Phillip Wolfrum and the early Karg-Elert. As with many good organs, you can of course also play other music convincingly: early music, Bach, and almost everything from the German romantic period from Rinck to Rheinberger.
