Pipe Organ Sound and Articulations

The library covers a range of organ voices, including gemshorn, rohr-flute, octave, principle, block-flute and trumpet, along with combo stops, chimes and SFX. Sustains and staccatos are sampled in two microphone positions, so you can choose a closer, more direct tone or a more distant, spacious one.

The samples are uncompressed 24 bit / 48 kHz PCM WAV files. Soundiron also includes pedal and blower noises and zymbelstern sounds to add mechanical realism to the performance.

The 21 Kontakt .nki instrument presets give you ready starting points, and the 20 sound-designed FX and ambient presets stretch the organ into synth-like textures.

Controls, Modulation and Effects

The interface combines multi-layer controls with an LFO, filter, glide and arpeggiator. The LFO offers selectable shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time. Filters can be assigned to modulation sources such as velocity, mod wheel, expression, aftertouch, key position and a step-sequencer table.

The arpeggiator provides a velocity table and control over direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration, and a key and scale lock keeps melodic lines within common scales.

The FX rack has convolution reverb with custom rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments, so the organ can move from a traditional church sound to much larger, processed spaces.
