Welcome to aH Virtual Pipe Organs April 2004 Since april 2004, the sample set of the Marcussen organ is also available in softsampler formats. For more information.
Features and Requirements Hauptwerk version The sample set can be used in Hauptwerk version 4 and higher, the Advanced version is necessary due to the size of the virtual instrument. The Compass The original compass of the manuals is 56 keys and the pedal is 30. No extensions are made in the virtual model. Sample Quality The samples are offered in 24bit/48kHz quality, multiple releases (3 levels). Plain wave formant (no encryption).
The reverberation time is up to 6 seconds for the ambiental version. The sample set is offered in the surround (four channels) and in the wet (two channels) and in the dry (dual-mono) variants. Tremulants Many ranks of Borstwerk, Rugwerk and Bovenwerk offer recorded tremmed samples (recorded tremulants). These special tremmed ranks can be identified by the word 'tremmed' in the rank description. Load these special ranks together with the normal rank to get the correct behavior with the tremulant engaged. Please note: the recorded tremmed samples are available in the wet/surround variant of the sample set. The dry variant of the sample set does not contain any tremmed ranks.
The dry version uses the Hauptwerk tremulant model instead. Caveat: not all ranks of the wet/surround variant were recorded tremmed. The ranks where no tremulant was recorded, an alternative Hauptwerk tremulant model is used while processing the left and the right channel independently. This gives considerably more convincing results than using plain Hauptwerk tremulant model. Hauptwerk v.4 does not natively support independent left and right channel treatment. For this reason, you can see the Left and Right component on certain ranks in the rank loading menu. It is important to load both the left and the right component of the front ranks into the same audio stereo output of Hauptwerk (the front or main output) to get the full sound of the stop.
Similarly, it is important to load both the left and the right component of the rear rank into the same rear audio output. This is done in the Rank Audio/Memory Options Loading and Routing dialog (when the organ is loaded for the first time, or when it is loaded via the Load Organ Adjusting Rank Audio Output menu entry). Please note that the Left and Right componets of a rank are not mono wave files, but stereo files with the opposite channel muted (since Hauptwerk does not allow for hard-panning left and right mono wave files). For this reason, it is essencial that the left and right components are loaded into the same stereo audio output. Wind Model The wind in the real organ is rock-stable. This can be modelled perfectly by disabling the Wind Model in Hauptwerk.
Hence, one can switch the wind model off for this organ safely. The fact, that modelling the stable wind is so extremely easy in Hauptwerk, I took the liberty to make the wind system freely according to my own liking.
There are 11 wedge bellows modelled and the wind is really lively. If you do not like this feature, just turn the wind model off and the sample set will behave as the organ in reality. There is one more reason for setting the wind model off with this big sample set: the CPU usage. I strongly recommend to switch the wind model off on older CPUs (those manufactured prior to 2011), since the wind model eats a lot of CPU power which can have an influence on other parts of the sample set (tremulant model etc.). Variants of the sample set • Surround: the surround recording uses 4 independent channels for each virtual pipe (for each sample). The sound of the organ pipes is captured by the front microphones, the church response by the rear microphones. The 4 channels are extracted from the recording and assembled to the sample set.
The two front channels are used to supply the sound of the organ to the front speakers, while the 2 other channels offer the response of the church. You can use these two channels to feed your surround (rear) speakers. Please note, that at least 4 speakers are needed to reproduce the multi-channel audio. • the length of the reverb is approximately 5.5 seconds. Nonetheless, the organ retains very good clarity in the space and it stands out of the reverberation clearly. • Polyphony (CPU strength) required: at least 7000 simultaneously speaking pipes for smooth operation in tutti or plenum operations. Polypony set to 8000 is recommended.
CPU of the type 6 Core i7-3930k or i7-3770 is a good choise to achieve this high performance.For smaller registrations about 3000 simultaneous pipes is enough, though. • RAM requirements (full surround, L/R split rank components loaded in mono): *** *** • 16-bit: ca. 23,5 GB • 20-bit: ca. 38,5 GB • 24-bit: ca. Crack Hitman Pro. 45 GB To load on 48GB machines: load everything in 20-bit, while the most used ranks (8-feet principals, flutes and similar) try loading in 24-bit depth. Attention: the sample set is huge and therefore when loading (especially for the first time) Hauptwerk may look like frozen for about 2 minutes.
After that, normal loading dialog will appear. Please be patient when loading the organ! • Wet: For use in headphones or other 2-channels environment: please disable all the ranks marked by the word 'rear' in the rank audio output dialog when loading the organ for the first time. By doing this, the rear ranks will be muted and only the two front channels will load.
The RAM consumption is reduced to half. • RAM requirements (wet only): • 16-bit: ca. 13 GB • 20-bit: ca. 25 GB • To load on 16 GB RAM machines: you should mute all the rear ranks and use only the front portion of the sample set (i.e. The wet only option). Load all front ranks in 16 bits while the most used ranks try loading in 20 bit depth. To mute the rear ranks, see the screenshot for an illustration how to identify the rear ranks (there are two kinds - a normal rear rank and a tremmed rear rank), all of these may be selected and muted (by clicking on the box near to the 'Rank enabled?'
Question and selecting 'No'. • • Dry: samples are recorded from very short distance (mostly inside the organ case) using many channels. The result is offered as 24-bit, 48kHz dual-mono samples which can be used in self-reverberating venues (such as churches) or mixed with a digital reverb. Multi-channel approach is very much recommended for reproduction of the fully developed organ sound.
It is not uncommon that at least a pair of speakers is used for each division, the more the better. Please note that the dry sample set is for specialized use, since the sound of dry pipes (if used as it is 'out-of-the-box') is normally surprisingly unpleasant and harsh. For home use, the wet or surround sample set is recommended. • RAM requirements • full sample set loaded in 24-bits: 12.4 GB • full sample set in 16-bit: 6.7 GB. Rugwerk man I. Hoofdwerk man.

Borstwerk man. Chamadewerk III. Legend to the virtual layout Console view: this is the general console view. It serves to define the keyboard MIDI inputs for all the divisions.
The only active part of this view are the manuals and the pedal. All the other components are image-only.
Specifying the keyboard MIDI input is done by right-clicking on the desired manual or pedal. No other component can be MIDI-leaned on this page. Please see the Stop Jamb pages to learn the MIDI switches for the stops and other components of the instrument.
Bellows+Noise view: this is the view of the wind ways of the instrument, the base for the Hauptwerk wind model. In the upper part, there are 11 hand pumped wedge bellows, the red indicator shows how full/empty the bellow is, the gauge on the side shows the inner pressure inside the bellows. The switches above each bellow show the operation of the bellows. The upper one served to enable or disable the bellows completely (you can run only several bellows if you wish - attention, the organ can become short of air quickly). The lower two buttons show whether the bellows is inflating (left button) or deflating (right button). The small 'windows' under each set of bellows show how air is going from the bellows to the windchests of the organ.
If it is closed, no air is going to windchest, if it is open, air is going from the bellows to the windchest. In the lower corner of this wiew, there are gauges to measure the pressure each of the windchest (some divisions have split windchests). Finally, in the right bottom of the window, there are two knobs. By turning these knobs you can increase or decrease the noise generated by the blower or by the tracker. Left+Right Jambs view: for dual touch screens, split jambs were created.
They allow for portrait or landscape orientation, according to the orientation of the touch screens. Portrait stop jambs: the left and right stop jamb offer the portrait orientation (vertical) as an alternative. Single Jamb: for a single touch screen, this is the stop jamb to be used. All the stops of the organ can be found there. This view allows for landscape and wide landscape oritantion, according to the size of the touchscreen used. Please note, that the foot levers found on the original organ were not reproduced, since they only duplicate hand drawstops which are available.
All features of the organ can be controlled by the drawstops, hence the foot levers were omitted. You may, however, attach your MIDI foot pistons to any drawstop to imitate the behavior of the original organ. The attaching of the physical piston to a button on screen is done by right-clicking on the button.
You may attach more than one MIDI physical switch to any of the drawstops on the screen. Voicing: this is the dedicated Sonus Paradisi easy voicing tab.
Here you can alter the timbre (volume and color) of each of the stops to suit your liking. Detuning: this is the detuning tab. You can alter the pitch of entire rank by turning the knob.
This is allowed for each stop of the organ. You may thus make a celeste stop out of any stop of the organ (including creating an undulating trumpet - well, not very useful).
By changing the pitch only very little you may, however, achieve some pitch strechting of the organ, and the overall sound may become more lively. Updates Surround (Wet) Cummulative • Comprises all the changes to the surround variant of the virtual organ. It should be installed on top of the original installation.
Updates Dry • All changes to the dry variant made after the original release. It should be installed on top of the original installation. Known issues Hauptwerk master couplers ignore the Chamade aan drawstop. - The chamadas form internally in the ODF a division on its own. However, this division does not have any manual and it is connected to the IIIrd manual via a conditional link - the condition is the Chamade aan switch turned on.
However, this condition switch is ignored by the master couplers. This seems to be the limitation of the master couplers. Workaround: use the couplers designed in the ODF to get the correct behavior. It would be better, though, to put the chamadas on a real fifth manual, to make the sample set compatible with the Hauptwerk master couplers. The dry version has no simple jamb (schematic layout), it would be useful to add this additional stop jamb to the dry version as it is in the surround version. Surround version: Prestant 8, note 071-B, possible loop problem.
