• 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.

Turn your current MIDI equipped organ into an Historic Organ powerhouse with the MacMini Sound module from Organtechnology;The NEW Hauptwerk™ Virtual Pipe Organ Sound Module Mac Mini platform with Touchstop™ (19" NEC touchscreen) from Organtechnology

Organtechnology has just released a Hauptwerk™/Apple Mac Mini sound module designed for easy addition to any console or keyboard stack with MIDI output. The Mac mini, at just 6.5 inches square and 2 inches tall, takes up far less room and uses far less energy than any other desktop computer sound module. The 4GB memory of the Mini is a perfect match for Hauptwerk's Basic Edition sound set limit of 3GB and the 2.53GHz dual core processor provides plenty of computing power for the 1, 024 note polyphony. There is an impressive list of organs which can be loaded into the 3GB allocation almost all the 'Dry' organs and many of the large 'Wet' organs can be loaded in very realistic settings. The Apple 'core audio' provides impressive clarity of a 2-channel stereo system and the standard 1/8" stereo audio jack easily interfaces to all sound systems and home stereo sets.;
