We have just finished work on a significant upgrade of the Evensong Christ Cathedral Arboretum Aeolian Skinner sample set. This iconic IV/82 instrument was first released by CLR Resources as a Hauptwerk IV sample set in 2016. We have returned to the original recordings and completely rebuilt the sample set from scratch. The result is a much improved sample set, and (we believe) much truer to the real instrument and acoustic, An example recording of it is here (video and audio included): http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/55979
We have made the following improvements:
• All samples have been newly extracted in two perspectives from the original recordings, providing a rich and accurate sonic experience
• New screens to provide flexible control
◦ Simple Screen
◦ Left and Right simple screen (portrait and landscape)
◦ Separate controls page
◦ Programmable Crescendo page
• Modern Hauptwerk features
◦ Variable tuning for reeds, flue lower work and flue upperwork
◦ Variable Pedal Divide
◦ Great/Choir manual swap
◦ Direct and Ambient perspective volume control
Watch this space - set will be released first to existing users as an upgrade, then to the general public.
