AN INCREDIBLE INSTRUMENT
The picture speaks for itself. Within the beautifully decorated town hall of the city of Leeds in England lies this spectacular organ, towering high into the music hall and silencing the sounds of the city with its earth shuddering, rich, harmonic tones.
METICULOUSLY SAMPLED
We spent some time with organist Dr Simon Lindley who told us all about how the instrument works, it's history and even a guided tour up in to the inside of the organ itself! Simon crafted 6 versatile presets for us and we began the painstaking process of sampling this incredible feat of engineering. Over the next few months we spent many evenings in the town hall recording every single note with multiple round robins and over 10 second note recordings to capture the true sonic character of the organ.
..."bass & chords" version, which I suppose gives an indication of sound quality and GUI aesthetic. And this for pipe organ: The Leeds Town Hall Organ Best, Jon
Thanks for listening, killius. It's a fairly old project, so I can't remember everything with detail, but I can tell you the organ is the free Leeds Town Hall Organ, the piano is 8Dio's 1969, the strings are LASS and the choir is Olympus.
It seems that other manufacturers are already ahead.
There is already a lot of great software.

They may hesitate to exchange the organ of the church of their famous cathedral for VST.
The synth is in sight, but the church organ can only be seen far away.
