virtual organ sets

[frane_m]

question: does aomebody know about a program which would trnslate organ description from Hauptwerk2 or 3 to Hauptwerk1 (Myorgan or GrandOrgan).
The one for H3 is XML file containing data, the other is an old fashioned text file with extension .organ.
This would make it possible to use the available sets in Hauptwerk2 and 3 format.

Hi!

Unfortunately it's not that easy. The samples in a Hauptwerk set must be unencrypted wave files of 16 bit 44100 Hz samplerate to be possible to use in GrandOrgue/MyOrgan. (Just browse through the folders of a HW set to find the .wav files and check their properties)

If the samples are ok, then it's not that much of a problem to create a new .organ file to be able to play the set in GO.

Kind regards

Hi Frane,

If the samples are in 16-bit 44.1khz sample rate (non encrypted) then you can use Dr Yves MoODFCreator (http://www.themysticorgan.com/html/mo.php) to create a new organ definition file (ODF) in Haupwerkv1 format. So while it is not possible to take a HW3 XML file and downgrade it to HWv1, it is possible to create a new HW1 file for the samples.

One can also use a text editor to create the ODF (.organ file) for GrandOrgue to use...

Hope that helps,
