Hi to all GO fans !
There's a new kid on the block.
It's a Tamburini 1959 organ set made by Andrea Bonzi, which actually is its organist too !
Andrea has an excellent site and also has produced this set for Hauptwerk (full set commercial - demo with some basic stops downloadable)
Its GO version is free download (Thanks Andrea !) and fills a gap for modern organ sets in GrandOrgue.
The real organ -and GO set too- has just 5 or so ranks and all stops are derived from those ranks. It is a great economy work, considering this organ constructed just after WWII and Italy at the time was in need.
I enjoyed the set much. The classic Italian Principale 8 is present of course (I just love that sound...) and there is also a celesta stop.The rest is classic more or less. Nice Borduna 8 and Ripieno.
Clean sound, medium wet set.
I found some issues though, which in turn are all fixable.
1st there are many loop clicks and very audible. This is easy to fix with a good loop sofware and also remark the release points too.
2nd the celesta stop/rank is much detuned for my taste, unless it is the original like this of course. But I would try to "move" it a bit more in tune.... :grin:
3rd the swell's midi channel..... it is set on ch5(?) and I had hard time to play this set with my setup. Changing channel in GO's swell to 5 didn't solved the problem. It must be fixed in the organ file.
So, to sum up, appart from those 3 issues the set is a beauty and thanks to Andrea we got a free Italian Organ set to enjoy.
Vist Andrea's site , there are many many goodies there !!
