jOrgan query

Hi,
I would definitely recommend jOrgan for a Church with a small budget. It has the best MIDI options available in a virtual pipe organ program, and is easier to customize than the other VPO programs too. I am currently working with a Project in South Africa that helps low income churches whose older electronic organ consoles are now failing to MIDIfy their console and pop a computer in, running GrandOrgue controlled by jOrgan. I'm currently creating a website that will have more details, but I'd be very willing to share everything that I know with you for your project.
My philosophy is this: If you want a great sounding VPO at ultra low cost, use GrandOrgue/jOrgan. If you are able to spend money on the best, get Hauptwerk. I fully support Churches and individuals going the GrandOrgue/jOrgan route, and can even advise you on what sample sets might work best for you.
For the Project that I'm involved in, we run GrandOrgue and jOrgan in Puppy Linux, which means that we don't even have to pay for the Windows license. I'm very willing to help you set this up too.

LastCorpseStanding,

Check out the ACO organ disposition here http://ftp.pwp.att.net/p/a/pastorstratman/

I have been using it for a long time and simply love it. All free so should fit your church's budget.

Regards,

Dennis

Graham and Dennis, thanks both for the info. I'm not the most technical person in the world, so I probably will still recommend having Phoenix supply and set up the system, and I have no problem using their samples. Once the system is in place, I suppose it would be little trouble to put a copy of GO on the system, and then download new samples. Don might even be willing to do the setup for us, for a fee of course.

Baby is crying so I have to go, but thanks for the feedback.
