• 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.

http://www.tikov.com/softrave/harmoniumpro.html

Harmonium Pro VSTi is based on samples of real Harmonium Organ from 19th century recorded with different position of overtones switches. We also added Analog drift control to add analog touch to samples or to create new vibrato effects . Samples are looped so you can play infinete notes on keyboard without need to pump air with your legs like in original mechanical instrument. . <font size="2">

21 Euros or 27 USD

For four times this you would more than likely obtain a real instrument of this type.

Right, or here you could still find real harmoniums that's more or less given to you for free... I have two, one with electric fan and one with traditional pedals, both I got for free but they are in need of some repair.

Nevertheless, I've thought about sampling some good ones and put together another free sampleset for GO, but the really interesting harmonium sound would be a french Debain type. It would make it possible to hear the sound that for instance C. Franck had in mind for L'Organiste. The expression "feature" would be difficult to mimic but still I think the sampled sound would be great to have available.

Kind regards

Still have it and has many problems for todays standards.

Anyway to see this for 21 euros after two years..... hmmmm

@lars

Most of these in the uk are american organs operating on vacuum rather than pressure.
I had one some time ago.
A set by you would sure bring back some memories.
Have you tried out your 3 sample idea using the velocity setting on the manuals.

Hi!

No, since the feature is not yet developed... One can have different attacks already, but it's still chosen randomly and not by velocity.

Kind regards

As no changelog type doc is included with go it's easy to miss new features like this, and the wave tremulant.
Just right click on a manual and you will see what I mean.

"The second touch feature"
Or Perhaps better described as "Velocity Filter"

The keyboards on my setup are of the organ type, and so do not output velocity info.
I had to dig out another keyboard to try out this feature.
I first loaded a three manual organ.

After first setting each manual to the same midi channel as the keyboard,I then set the velocity of each manual to a different range.

The result was as expected, I could move from one manual to another, using touch alone.
Conclusions, not bad if you only have the one keyboard.
Or there are many possibilities here?.

Hi!

Thanks for pointing this out, I had completely missed that... Works as expected. You can have also two manuals with the same MIDI-device, one that respond to velocity from 1-127 with a basic registration and the other set to respond from say 70-127 with other stops for effect.

One can actually try out now how a multi attack selection from velocity would work. Imagine three manuals with same stop sampled thrice, slow attack on first manual set to respond from 1-42, medium attack on second from 43-85 and quick attack on third from 86-127. All manuals take input from same MIDI device. It's a temporary workaround, but could be interesting until the feature is implemented directly with the stop/rank instead.

Kind regards
