01Overview

Alpha Organ v2 captures a pair of pipe organs in St. Paul's Church in San Francisco. The two instruments, Alpha and Omega, were recorded individually and together in unison, so you can choose between a sweet, silky voice and a larger, more powerful one. The library is built on Kontakt and runs in the free Kontakt Player, making it accessible to producers who already use Native Instruments tools. Its sampled content and sound-shaping options suit ambient, cinematic and experimental work.

Sound and Microphone Options

The library includes two deeply sampled pipe organs. Alpha is described as sweet and silky in tone, while Omega is thunderous and mighty, with a larger console and more pipes. Each organ was recorded with three microphone positions, labeled Close, Mid and Far, so you can blend distance and room character.

The instrument also includes a third organ, Unity, with 3 stops, plus pedal tones and sound effects. Stop counts are 12 for Alpha, 20 for Omega and 3 for Unity. The samples are 24-bit, 48 kHz stereo in lossless NCW format, with 17.7 GB installed from 29 GB of WAV source.

Controls, Layers and Effects

The interface offers volume swell, attack and release, sample start offset, vibrato and sound bank selection in all presets. The Layered preset has four independent layers: Close, Mid, Far and an Ambiences layer with 30 pads, synth tones and drones.

An adaptable LFO system, 13 filters, a customizable arpeggiator and a modular FX rack with 27 effect modules and 8 slots are included. The reverb uses 99 convolution impulse presets and 139 special effect impulses. The developer describes the interface as flexible and intuitive, with deep customizability.
