Sound Layers and Section Control

The library is divided into four manual sections, and each one holds layers made from sampled pipes. Cinesamples describes the layers as registrations, and the interface lets you combine them within a section and adjust each layer's level. The Swell section includes multiple sampled positions of the swell cabinet, controlled by the CC1 mod wheel, so you can simulate opening and closing the box.

Each section can be switched on or off, and FX can be applied to a single section or to all sections at once through the master function. A Dice Roller randomizes the loaded layers, which is a quick way to hear how different registrations interact.

The 32' Contra layer works as its own section with separate section FX, adding depth to the low end.

Presets and Onboard Processing

The library includes 150 presets. The first page contains pipe combinations that Cinesamples developed with the in-house organist at the Harold Miossi Hall Performing Arts Center in San Luis Obispo. The 30 user-preset slots let you save your own combinations.

Onboard FX processing covers per-section and master control. Send FX support extended sound design and FX routing, and you can change the sample ADSR or use short notes mode for more variety. The 150 presets also include modern designed sounds alongside traditional organ combinations.
