Hauptwerk Sample Set - Marcussen Organ
Contents.Name ‘Hauptwerk’ is the German term for the of an organ, from Haupt- (‘main’) and Werk (literally: ‘work’ or ‘opus’, here roughly ‘power plant’, ‘factory’, some place where something, a sound in this case, is produced). The German pronunciation of the word ‘Hauptwerk’ is. History Hauptwerk was originally developed and launched in 2002 by Martin Dyde who, starting 2006, continued to develop it trading as Crumhorn Labs Ltd.In September 2008 Crumhorn Labs and Hauptwerk were acquired by Brett Milan of Milan Digital Audio LLC. Product history. Screen image of the organ of St Annes, Moseley. Hauptwerk produces an audio signal in response to input received via. This input may originate from an external MIDI keyboard or from a MIDI.
An organ is constructed using a set of recorded sample files in conjunction with an configuration file that defines organ parameters such as ranks, stops, manuals, coupling and organ images for display in Hauptwerk's user interface.The audio output is based on recorded samples which are then modified by several different technologies. Sample playback The recorded samples of the original pipes are divided into 3 main sections - start(attack), middle(sustain) and end(release or echo). When a note is played the attack sample is played followed by a loop of the sustain section. Start, end and release loop points are stored in the recorded sample file. When the note is released, the release or echo section of the sample is used, or specific release sample files can be defined for a note, or range of notes.
This latter feature is useful in making the organ more realistic, for example the echo of a pipe after a short period will be different from that of a pipe that has been sounding for longer. Hauptwerk can select from multiple release samples based on the duration of the note. Tremulant effects are possible using LFO sample files to dynamically modify the sound, avoiding the need to create individual tremulant note sample files.Harmonic filtering When an organist moves an it affects both the volume and frequency envelope of the affected pipes.
Hauptwerk adjusts both of these parameters using information provided within the sample-set. This can be based on measurements taken from the original instrument.Physical modeling The wind-pressure applied to an organ pipe affects its volume, pitch and character.
Hauptwerk uses to model the movement of air through the various parts of a pipe-organ. This information is then used to modify the sampled sound.Randomization is used to modify certain aspects of the audio output. The pitch of individual pipes can be randomly modified when a sample is loaded into memory. If multiple loop points are provided, in the sustain section of a sample, these are selected randomly. Additionally, Hauptwerk simulates some other effects, such as Wind Turbulence, using Randomization during playback.Organ sample-sets.

The article continues: 'Volume I of our very own Father Willis Organ was released by Milan Digital Audio just days before my organ was installed into the cathedral which has allowed me to use 28 of the 65 stops of the Father Willis organ in its natural acoustic. It is believed to be the first time a sampled instrument has been used in its own building for services!'
