I am making progress with my latest console virtualization. I also replaced the Tranposer Control Panel with one more fitting...

I just purchased this console to replace the two-manual Moller that received minor flood damage. As far as I can tell, this console was made in 1953 by the American Organ Company and upgraded in the mid-'90s with Peterson components. Since it has MIDI, it should not be a problem converting it...

Question for Hauptwerk Users... If you purchase and own an organ sample set for the latest versions of Hauptwerk, can you create your own organ definition with customized layout and use that as a front end for the purchased samples? Thanks, Jay

What is the current software being used for creating the loop markers in sample set WAV files? Are there any modern tutorials for doing this? Thank You, Jay

I am encountering a strange issue with one of my VPOs. On two of my stops, one on the swell and on in the pedal, one or many notes will continue sounding even after the key is released, for up to two seconds. Even if I play the note and quickly release it, the note plays on. The virtual...

Yesterday, our community lost one of its most faithful contributors, Panos Ghekas. I cannot think of a time that he did not respond to any question posted on this forum. He helped in any way he could. Rest in peace, my friend!

I am going to have to work on a real pipe organ in an old church next weekend. I am not a trained pipe organ tech, but I am all they have. Most of the issues are sticking relays. The organ is not played very much, and the relays stick over time. However, once they are freed, they work as...

I am running GO 3.1.1726 64-bit on two different VPOs. I did not notice this at first, but it appears there are random sticky notes on both consoles. This does not appear to be a key contact issue. Instead, it seems GO is processing the Note On event, but not receiving or processing the Note...

Has anyone released GrandOrgue or Hauptwerk sample sets for a Hammond B3? If so, how did they handle the Leslie? Thanks, Jay

Single-application PC Solution for VPO Since I am inclined to use GO with converted pipe organ consoles, I would like to eliminate the external PC with monitor and have everything mounted inside the console. The biggest issue with this is, without the monitor, it is difficult to know once all...

I have a VPO with 53 sounding stops that worked well in Windows XP 32-bit. The samples are from various free Hauptwerk 1 organs and loaded in under 2.25GB RAM. I have upgraded the PC to a Dell OptiPlex 960 with 8GB RAM on Windows Vista 64-bit and I am using the latest release of Grand Orgue...

I just upgraded my PC from Windows XP (32-Bit) to Windows Vista SP2 (64-bit) and I am running the latest 64-bit release of GrandOrgue. I am receiving an error, Old GO 0.2 Styled Setting in ODF. I cleared up 10 pages of errors in the ODF and this last one has me stumped. Any help would be...

I am revisiting one of my VPO organ consoles, and I am thinking about enclosing the computer within the console so that it cannot be seen. When I power on the console, the PC starts up and loads GO automatically. I would prefer not to have a monitor when the console is being played, which...

I am testing the latest version of GO3 compiled for no SS3. Everything is working well on my console. I really appreciate the hard work you guys have put into this program! Is there a way to prevent the log window from appearing when the program is loading the pipe samples? Thank You, Jay

GO Tremolo I am trying to get a realistic tremolo; but after some experimentation, I was never sure it was quite right. If any of you are using tremelo in your GO ODFs, please post your tremolo settings. Here are mine...

I have continued to work on the Kilgen Opus 7722 console conversion for my Church organist since last I posted. The conversion process is close to being complete and the console is mostly playable. The biggest setbacks have been working through wiring anomalies, which can be expected on a...

I am nearing the completion of my console conversion project, and I have a question... In order to send all my stops and couplers on the same MIDI channel, I need to reassign the first 16 inputs (Notes 36 - 51) on Channel 6 to MIDI channel 5 using Notes 100 to 115 or Notes 19 - 34. The HWCE2X...

I probably should have posted this as a new thread in the first place, but I had placed it under an exiting thread in which I asked about ornamentation stops... In my effort to find an authentic pipe organ ornamentation stops, I came across an interview featuring an Italian Barouque pipe organ...

I certainly do not want to undermine the work some people have done in sampling entire pipe organs; but from my perspective, where I am trying to bring life back to an orphaned pipe organ console, all I am looking for are a few specific stops. On the console I am converting, there is a Quintaton...

Has anyone worked with the samples from the Ghent Belfry? Does anyone know what factor should be used with PipeTune to get the pitches corrected? Is there a program out there that will display the pitch of the pipe samples we use in our organ definitions? Thank You, Jay
