I personally don't think that that is their intention. That would show that they intended to be a serious challenge to the status quo. ![]() Anne Mosley organ in the free Hauptwerk product. Organteq should have come out of the gate with something at least on par with the St. The base (free) Hauptwerk organ is a 3M English Organ of modest size. possibly a year from now, Hauptwerk and other sample set based VPO products have a large lead on Organteq. If I had thousands invested in Advanced Hauptwerk and a few notable Sample Sets I wouldn't be tempted to write that off to get the Organteq product.Įven now and. I DOUBT there will be a clearly audible difference between Hauptwerk and Organteq. And at the end of the day the vast majority of installations are going to use commonly available audio components for the final leg of the signal path. The base engine for Organteq is almost $300 and no idea what individual organs (if any) will cost. I don't know, I think all this anticipation is way premature. channels? Seems to me that in all this excitement about the ability to tweak a rank to perfection, the fact that the present capabilities of Organteq does not support unlimited audio channels is being ignored. (I think my machine has an i3 processor.) And, as I understand this thread, Organteq comes with a ready-made organ that one can play right out of the box, and that is of course a point in its favor. I takes a TON of wisdom and experience to put together an organ with an ensemble that truly works as it should, and you can be sure that the old masters knew stuff that we will never know about doing that.Īll that aside, I'd still love to get my hands on this and take a spin, though I probably don't have a computer that will run it, even on a rudimentary level. Not that it wouldn't be FUN and possibly even musical to give it a go, but a lot of people may simply want a marvelous organ to play without the tinkering, and for them Hauptwerk or another VPO that uses canned samples may be more appealing. ![]() While that sounds like a good idea, and indeed quite flattering and compelling, in reality, few of us (and fewer still among less-knowledgeable groups of organ folk) are really smart enough to come up with a totally bespoke organ that will come anywhere near to doing the job of a stellar instrument built by Willis or Cavaille-Coll or H&H or Skinner or whoever. OTOH, Organteq offers you or me, potentially, the ability to create our own stops and choruses and divisions, almost from scratch, using physical modeling controls to customize each stop. (Better yet, we can play these organs and hear them IN TUNE, all the time!) Paul's and Canterbury) have been faithfully recorded and made available as sample sets that can be mine or yours at a price far below the cost of any new hardware organ, and if you or I were to properly set up our Hauptwerk system to play it back faithfully, we can enjoy the fruits of the labor and wisdom of Father Willis and a hundred other of the world's greatest organ builders. ![]() These great organs of the world, acknowledged by nearly everyone (I could start a list, but would surely leave out someone's favorite, but for example, the organs of Father Willis in St. That point is that the great organs of the world were all created by great organ minds and were designed, built, and finished to function as a cohesive whole, each and every individual stop contributing to and fitting into the ensemble and interacting favorably with every other stop. Many of us seem to be making a similar point here, and I think it's valid, though not necessarily a "deal-breaker" for this new program.
