• 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.

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

Project : a software to create sample-sets for Hauptwerk or GrandOrgue

Info for users of virtual organs.
I started to write a software that makes sample-sets. The software is still in prototype stage, but the results are encouraging. You will find at the address http://organ.monespace.net/800500_demo/ a dozen of 5 octaves stops given as examples. These stops have not yet release tail, so they are dry, but with some reverb they are already pleasant to use.

In fact there are common features in both softwares but also great differences.
Aeolus is a complete virtual instrument including its own sound generators,
Hauptwerk and GrandOrgue are virtual organs without internal sounds. The organists have to load a sample-set ( a sound bank)
My software is a sample-set generator for Hauptwerk and GrandOrgue. It is able to create complete sample-sets I mean packages of several organ stops, each stop consisting in 61 wave files : 036-c.wav, 037-c#.wav, 038-d.wav ........ 096-c.wav.
Sounds are made with Fourier synthesis, in 16 bits, 44.1 kHz, mono, samples can be 1 to 8 seconds longs. (the 12 demo stops are 2 s long).
Organ stops can be made by adjusting parameters or randomly.
Infinite loops are computed automaticaly by the software, this is very important as you spare a lot of time

Hi JP :)

It looks very interesting and helpful !! Looping feature is great help.

Question : Why only 16/44100 and mono????
Latest GrandOrgue v0306 can load 24/48000 stereo samples as of course HW4.

I could change but for the proto it is enough.
Other reason, the wav files are not sampled but synthetized. 24 bits will not bring more precision to the sounds because, for the moment they have very simple waveforms
