• 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.

Grandorgue metronome

Hi everybody.
This separate post is an answer to the one I initiated some time ago (I can't answer from the "reply" button, a login procedure starts and the result is wrong identification ....).

There are two metronome sounds in Grandorgue, one for the first beat of a mesure, another for the other beats. After installation under Windows, they are located in programs/Grandorgue/share/Grandorgue/sounds/metronome.
They are named "first_beat.wv" and "beat.wv".
New sounds can be substituted, but they must be converted from, for instance, .wav to .wv format. This can be done with a freeware utility called wavepack.
To be noted, it seems that the files are loaded into EACH sample set cache. This means one must create a new cache for the concerned sample sets after changing the sound files.
