There is also the option to reduce/extend the length of the release samples, depending on whether you want that huge grand organ sound in a large space, or a cleaner more crisp and defined sound. We chose to also sample some optional combinations and tutti sounds, as well as individual stops, due to the fact that the way sound interacts and moves around in a room when the stops are pulled out together, is not faithfully enough replicated when individually sampled and layered digitally.


The picture speaks for itself. Within the beautifully decorated town hall of the city of Leeds in England lies this spectacular organ, towering high into the music hall and silencing the sounds of the city with its earth shuddering, rich, harmonic tones.


We packaged the sounds up into a custom Kontakt 5 instrument with a lovely photo of the organ in all of it's splendor, as well as sampler instruments for Kontakt 4, EXS24, Reason NN-XT and Ableton Sampler. We hope you enjoy making music and spread the word about this wonderful organ so others can too!

i have a question. I want to sample a pipe organ in a church nearby and I dont have any experience how to do that. Maybe someone with some experience in this regard can give me some advise. I want to create a stereo sample set. I mainly have some questions:


GIO's 'Mixtures' folder contains the building blocks from which the above-mentioned Blended Textures patches are constructed. I enjoyed the delicate tonal shifts and subtle, built-in volume swell of Evolving Orchestra, and if I needed a big, symphonic pad I'd be happy to use the Full Orchestra patch, which skilfully blends trumpets and horns over a full string ensemble which happens to feature very nice high-end violins. In the same vein, 'Lush Full Orch Octaves' has real size and presence, while 'Full Organ Orchestra' evokes a sense of religious awe by layering a massive-sounding pipe organ and choir over strings and brass.


If you don't have decent orchestra hits in your collection, GIO's abrasive tutti stabs will fill the gap. Defying convention, they're played in multi-octave unison rather than pre-voiced as chords, so you can play your own chords on them, to great effect. For the final gesture in your next orchestral masterpiece, I can recommend the patch called 'The Big Chord'. Its wide spread of octaves sounds great playing an apocalyptic final trump, although you should refrain from including too many notes, for fear of it sounding like an out-of-control theatre organ.


It is difficult to make an open wood pipe sound like a principal. This has chiefly to do with the geometrical shape of the pipe and the properties of the material itself. The problem intrigued organbuilders in the 17th and 18th century and still does. Organbuilders from England to Italy came up with a variety of solutions to this physical problem. Among them were Adam Gottlob Casparini, Nicolaus Manderscheidt, Stefan Cuntz, Arp Schnitger and Esaias Compenius. Each of these organbuilders developed his own style even though the sound remained in the northeuropean soundscape. The best known member of the Casparini family, the flamboyant Eugenio Caspari, claimed to have invented a miraculous lacquer. He used it to protect his linen from heat when casting, to make wooden conductors as well as wooden pipes leak-proof, and to render them unattractive for parasites. This is a range of achievements for any substance, but he also considered it responsible for making his open wood pipes resemble a principal so much that the difference was indistinguishable.


Having first encountered the pipe organ at the Interlochen Summer Arts Camp at the age of 16, Jennings later graduated from the Interlochen Arts Academy. He earned his Bachelor of Music degree and the prestigious Performer's Certificate at the Eastman School of Music. He graduated from the Yale School of Music and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music with his Master of Music degree.


At one of the great cultural crossroads of Europe, Nathan explores pipe organs in Slovenia and Croatia. From the bustling cities of Ljubljana and Zagreb, to the pastoral villages of Adergas and Olimje, and the coastal towns of Izola and Piran, Nathan shares the rich organ art of these cities, as well as discovering some family history along the way.


"The pipe organ may be in or out of "fashion," but it is never out of style: like a bride's white dress, some classics are always in demand. From a Bach aria to the fanfares of John Williams movie scores, the Chapel organ is the true voice of the University. It has married hundreds, graduated thousands, and marked many decades of commemoration and celebration with dignity and grandeur. Give the Chapel a gift worthy of all the meaningful events and memories created there. Let its organ sound like new again, because its sounds are truly ageless."


A reed organ, also known as a pump organ, melodeon, or harmonium, is an instrument that uses vibrating brass reeds to produce a sound. It works the exact same way that accordions and harmonicas work, and therefore sounds very much like them.


Like a large pipe organ in a church, most reed organs have a number of stops that change the tone of the sound. Just like a pipe organ has sets of pipes, known as ranks, most reed organs has ranks of reeds that can be turned on and off by changing which stops are turned out. Each rank has a distinctive tone, and so the overall tone and volume of the instrument can be mixed by choosing which ranks are activated.


My reed organ has a knob slider on either cheekblock that engages a secondary set of reeds internally. These are the only "stops" of any kind that my organ has. The left slider turns on and off the secondary set of reeds for the lower half of the keyboard's range, and the right slider does the same for the upper half of the keyboard's range. By changing these stops, you can change the way it sounds because the second set of reeds is different from the first: in the bass, they are an octave higher, and in the treble, they are purposely tuned slightly out. Engaging the second sets of reeds makes my reed organ sound very much like an accordion!


I am very much impressed by your project. Until about 10 years ago I was as enthousiast in trying to make my own organs and thus I experimented a lot with ancient electronic instruments, reed organs and even small pipe organs. Besides, my original occupation was hard ware engineer for a few years, so I very much enjoy seeing your PCB designs and electrical schematics. But above all I love to see that you succeeded convincingly in building this wonderful instrument, whereas I desperately threw all my attempts away and eventually became member of a school staff, not possessing even a solder set anymore. Your project is very inspiring, hope to see more of your inventions in the future! Kind regards from the Netherlands - Koert.


I've been in the pipe organ business for 33 years.in fact, I'm writing this comment from inside a pipe organ chamber. Your system could be more easily connected to an electro pneumatic action pipe organ. EP pipe organs have "exhaust magnets" that respond to electric impulse from a pipe organ keyboard. If you bypass the keyboard and connect your system to the key action circuit the pipe organ will play without the keys moving. Also, there was an electronic and pipe organ builder in Canada who built electronic organs using reed organ reeds and wood reed cells with a small silent built in vacuum unit. Each reed cell was covered with its own action magnet and leather lined pallet ( of plastic) that would open and allow atmosphere to enter the the reed cell and cause the reed to vibrate upon registration of the corresponding key. You would get far better response using this method than using linear action solenoids to move the keys. I have quite a bit of experience with reed organs and they're notorious for their relatively slow response, which is inherent to the design. The largest most protracted pipe organ will have a faster response than a reed organ. The organ builder retired about 1972. He built about about 50 pipe organs but he built about 5,000 electronic organs using a readapted version of the reed organ design. He didn't amplify the sound produced by the reeds, instead he picked up the beats of the reed to provide the frequency of the note played and then somehow added tonal colouring to it to simulate pipe organ tone. People collect these organs. The organ builders name is Hallman ( I've forgotten his first name but he invented a number of items; he died in the 1990s and lived/,worked in Kitchener and/ or Waterloo, Ontario, Canada). By chance I actually have some "guts" from a hybrid pipe organ/electronic organ he built for a church that includes the wooden reed cells and mass produced magnets and pallets I referrred to earlier. I'm working out of town all week but this approaching weekend I could take some photos of the parts and forward them to you. You would instantly recognize what he did and how it could or would apply to your admirable organ operating electronics system. All the best to you and congratulations are in order for the completion of a project that reflects most favourably on your ingenuity, tenacity and character. You have a promising future in store. 2ff7e9595c
