• 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.

A couple of questions

Hi Mat:
The downloaded file might be corrupted. The easiest way to check (before downloading it again) is to check its MD5 checksum against the published one on the website.
If you haven't got an MD5 checker, download this free one http://www.winmd5.com/ - it's less than 100kB. Unzip it and run it. Then you can use the Browse button in its dialog window to select the enigma .rar file to generate the MD5 sum (which takes maybe 15 seconds on my computer).
You can either compare the two sums yourself or paste the correct one into the entry at the bottom of the window and then click on Verify.
If the MD5 sum is incorrect then you will have to download the file again and check it again.
If the sum is correct then I don't know what to do other than suggest you make sure that you have plenty of free space on your C: drive because that is where your Hauptwerk installation is probably putting the cached sample set.

P.S.
I've just downloaded, checked the MD5 sum, and installed the Enigma Wet set in HW3.3 with no problems.

Thanks for your input, Pete. I will probably download the MD5 checker. Hope it solves my problem.

Hey Pete,

I checked the MD5 checksum of the Enigma set on my PC against the checksum from this site. Hope I chose the right one:
The MD5 for the Wet set file is:34E350FF4AB8DE4EDFB006B85630F5B9.
It didn't match.

I'm not sure what it means to me and what I'm supposed to do now...

Mat,

In your Internet browser, clear your temporary internet files or cache and then download the Enigma sample set one more time.

Good Luck,
Jay

Mat:
Delete the bad copy of the downloaded file (the one with the bad MD5 sum), download the file again and check the MD5 sum against this new file. If it doesn't match, unfortunately all you can do is to keep trying the download again until it does match.
If it matches, you've got a good copy and can proceed to load it in Hauptwerk.

Thanks Jay and Pete. That's what I'll do.

Hi Mat,

If anything does not work, PM me to drop in my dropbox my workin' Enigma set (RARed as downloaded from Al) so you can download it and install it !

My wishes for luck !

Panos, I'll try to download the dry version as well. If that doesn't work either, I might take you up on your kind offer.

For those of you who might be interested how this whole situation turned out for me...

As I said, I downoloaded the dry set, which, unsuprisingly, didn't work either. Then I downloaded the set from Panos. Unlike the other sets, this one installed without any errors. So, it looks like the files I downloaded earlier were broken. Now, I just have to buy more RAM memory. 1 GB is just not enough to run the Enigma smoothly... So, for now I have to stick with st. Anne's. Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
