I have a Noorlander Praeludium that sits in my living room. It runs Hauptwerk: a program that takes midi input and plays back recordings from actual organs. The recordings are made one pipe at a time, then Hauptwerk mixes together whichever keys and stops are enabled. The folks who make the recordings love all the little nuances of organs and thus include things like:
- the ambient sound of the room with the blowers on
- the physical sound of the keys as they move
- the ca-thunk when stops are pulled or cancelled
I use the organs
