• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

GO Tremolo

I am trying to get a realistic tremolo; but after some experimentation, I was never sure it was quite right. If any of you are using tremelo in your GO ODFs, please post your tremolo settings. Here are mine...

Go support two types of tremulat:
* Explicit tremulant samples (like the barton organ)
* A simple volume based tremulant.

The sound related options are only:
Period=210
StartRate=6
StopRate=6
AmpModDepth=17

AmpModDepth is the volume change, Period is the period.

I've had the same problem getting trems I like. I had more trouble with amp than the other three. I think it's just a matter of taste. I looked at the .organ files for several organs and tried things. I think I now have start=10 stop=6, period something around 200, and amp at 30. If you get amp too deep, it sounds like a theatre organ; too shallow and it sounds anaemic. Bob

Hi,

Here are my settings off two volume type tremulants on my Custom v2 organ for GO 0306 (now commit 1026).
These settings give nice trems for many soloing lines, also the positiv one gives a smooth volume type when I try Contrapunctus I with just a Gedackt8+Rohrflute4.

I will add soon a sampled tremulant setting, meaning one tremulant element for each sampled rank, for example if I'll add a Vox Humana, I have to add the straight rank samples, then the tremmed and then introduce a 3rd tremulant only for this Vox Humana.
