Hauptwerk community,
If you have been following my organ exploits you know that I purchased a 1995 custom Rodgers 4-manual organ during the pandemic. This has replaced my Rodgers 945 as my home Hauptwerk concert instrument. I have created several sample sets that fit this console - mostly starting with some fo the larger commercially-available sets.
I have just completed a composite sample set for this console that is made up almost entirely from two of Piotr Grabowski's excellent free Hauptwerk sets: His Friesach and Cracow organs. If you have not already obtained these two instruments, I highly recommend that you do as they are both high-quality, fairly large three manual organs that Piotr has offered to the community free of charge.
Before you can load and run my organ, you will need download and install both of these sample sets. You must, of course, abide by all the terms that Piotr has on his web site. All of this is explained on my web site including all the relevant links.
I have added a chime sample and a zimbelstern to these two sets and come up with a composite organ that matches the specifications of my 4-manual instrument almost exactly.
It will be much better for you to visit my web site to see these displays and the specifications - the font here is simply too small! I have created left and right jamb screens for those of you with multiple monitors.
The organ has six divisions - including a "floating" Positiv that is meant to play normally from the Choir. All is explained on my web site.
This is a very large and comprehensive instrument.

I have used nearly all the ranks from the two Grabowski instruments and then performed a complete voicing to create a very workable and consistent instrument. As usual, I have also made my CODM file available (though this does not contain voicing information) so you can see exactly what I have done and perhaps use it to help you in your own projects.
I do not have sound samples yet for this instrument. I hope to post a few over the next week or so - when I can find some spare time. Things are busy in the space business right now!
