Hi, is it possible to have 2 or more stops with less pipes than the relevant manual has keys? Also is it possible to share stops between manuals?
Example, in my current instrument plus harpsichord experiments I'd like to have, say, a flute stop and a violin stop playable from one manual; they have slightly different ranges, must I adjust the sample sets to cover the same range, losing some notes from one or both stops, or can I have each stop cover the required range?
If I set up a 45 note manual what would happen if I try and load a stop with only 42 notes? If it can be done what if any changes should be made in the organ def file?
I could extend the range by borrowing notes from an alto flute sample to extend the flute, or do a bit of pitch shifting to add notes outside the normal range for the instrument just to keep GO happy?
My idea is to generate a simple harpsichord or organ on one manual and have 2 other "manuals" for which I could select one or two instruments e.g. flute and/or violin on one manual with Cello and/or another lower register wind like horn, cor anglais, bassoon or trombone.
Not my intention to have all instruments playing at once, just trying to set up a sort of general purpose combination in one organ file, rather than generating a separate file for each combination.
Maybe eventually have a load of manuals and play some Brandenburgs
