I am happy to inform everyone that completed my new sample set of Organ of the Holy Guardian Angels Church from Magyarkanizsa) . The organ has two manuals and pedal and 15 original and 3 extended stops.
Magyarkanizsa (Kanjiža) a small town in the Serbian province of Vojvodina. It has a population of 9,800, 87% of whom are of Hungarian nationality.
In the middle of the suburbs is the Catholic Church of the Holy Guardian Angels. The church was built in 1768. During the War of Independence in 1848, the city was besieged and the church burned down. It was rebuilt in 1857 in the late Baroque-Classicist style. The church was later expanded. The interior of the church was renovated in 1992, and from 2002 the exterior facade was renovated. The church functions as a parish church, with a parish priest and a chaplain. Every day there is Mass and a lively community life. The language of the Masses is Hungarian.
The organ of the church was built around 1790 and became the property of Banská Bystrica. Although no written memory of it has survived, based on the characteristic features, the one-manual positive could have been made by Ádám Mertz. After the expansion of the church, the sound of the organ proved to be low, so it was expanded several times, most recently by Milan Majdak from Zagreb in 1934. László Varga, an organ builder from Taksony, reconstructed the organ in 2019. He removed the unstylish extensions and reconstructed the original organ positiv, then built a second manual and pedal work in matching baroque style.
The sample sets are available in wave format 48kHz/24bit, stereo, multiple loops (1-8) and multiple releases (3 levels). Equal, a=438 Hz. The reverb 2.5 s, reflects the original acoustics of the church. Hauptwerk v4.2 and v5 and v6 supported for the Organ Definition Files.
The sample sets made in several forms.
Original and extended versions: stereo near (semidry), stereo far (wet) and six-channels surround.
In the surround versions you can adjust the perspective by setting the volume of the near, far and rear recordings.
For the near (semidry) versions, the IR reverb file of the temple is available for use with Hauptwerk v5-6.
