Description
Scots II Pipe Organ Samples is a symphonic virtual pipe organ.
A fully playable, freely configurable, intuitively manageable and MIDI-controllable virtual pipe organ for the Hauptwerk™ virtual pipe organ software (advanced edition recomennded), for PC and Macintosh computers, delivering the authentic sound of the 64-stop Rieger symphonic pipe organ of the Scots’ Church, Melbourne, Australia, to your computer.
The organ was built by Rieger in 1999 and is one of the finest instruments of the continent. Due to its wooden structures the church has relatively dry acoustics providing a crisp and articulate highdefinition pipe sound. The instrument has 64 stops on four manuals with two consoles and organ cases.
Features:
The real pipe organ
the 1999 Rieger pipe organ of the Scots Church in Melbourne, Australia
64 stops, 4 manuals (with 58 keys) and pedal (with 32 keys)
3 tremulants (tremolos)
The recording
All stops were sampled chromatically
Advanced Pipe Organ Measurements (APM)
The sample set
48 kHz / 32-bit format, 2-channel stereo samples
Natural sound image — the samples authentically preserve all spatial information
multiple loops and releases per sample/key stroke
One-click assignable keyboards to divisions supporting your console configuration
Full Coupler Matrix, extended number of couplers (in Personal Edition)
Optional organ engine sounds and noises
Multiple pages and touchscreen-optimized for 4:3 displays
Additional Features include:
- KeyboardMass™ functionality
- The inertia of the mechanical tracker action is modeled, and adjustable, affecting the response speed of the pipe speech when a key is released and the pipe valve closes. You can make the keyboards feel very heavy by increasing the slider values, or extremely responsive by decreasing.
- Keyboard Assignment functionality
- Even though you may have a different number of keyboards than the real instrument, with the keyboard assignment functionality you can map the keyboards of the instruments to your physical console setup with the ease of a mouse click. There is no need to use couplers as workarounds or complex configuration setups. Just a mouse click on the organ’s virtual interface.
- Remembering sliders
- As a convenience feature, all important sliders and function buttons in this organ will remember their last state when you re-load the instrument.
Two Editions:
The Personal Edition includes the full 64 Stops and Medium Edition includes 36 Stops.
