Italian Concert Organ - A Faithfully Reproduced Church Organ

New In Version 2.0

  • Old digitally-built combinations were recreated on the real organ and really resampled at 96kHz!
  • The resampling has been done using different couples of microphones from multiple positions, giving now detail and absolute fidelty
  • Now there aren’t simultaneous voices, so polyphony has been reduced to 32 notes (256 on multi modes), reducing high CPU usage
  • Pitch is now perfect: the resampling has been done the day after the instrument pitching; now it’s possible to combine various patterns without pitch issues
  • Master limiter corrected to be transparent and powerful at the same time
  • Pattern volume managed listening to a song played on the original organ, recorded using our microphone configuration
  • Minor bugs fixed

INSTALLATION: open Kontakt. Just use the “Files” tab on the left to find the main Italian Concert Organ folder and click on it. Then double click on the mode you want to load.

NOTE: if you have problems with the instrument, please mail me at [email protected]

Touch Mode

Recommended for all owners of single MIDI controller with a touchscreen.

The controls are optimized for touch.

Pressing and releasing the sustain pedal you can select sequentially the 16 patterns, while the Modulation controller switches to the other 16 patterns.

In the middle is displayed the name of the pattern.

Foot Mode

Especially developed for all owners of single MIDI controllers that have a common monitor and scroll through the chosen patterns without taking hands off from the keyboard. 

With this mode, the user can store up to 8 patterns and call them by pressing and releasing the sustain pedal.

Example: for my song I need sequentially the patterns 2, 5, 6 variated, 12, 15. 

For this purpose, I select the first (2). Once selected, I press S to store it in SLOT 1. 

Then I press the SLOT button and I see SLOT 2, then I’m going to choose the second pattern (5) and hit S to save it.

Now we press SLOT button again to move to the SLOT 3 and memorize the third pattern (6 with V). And so on. 

Once done, you just press and release the sustain pedal to cycle through the stored patterns, in a continuous loop.

You can store ONLY the pattern numbers and NOT the advanced settings like reverb. 

At the center is displayed the name of the selected pattern in the first red line, and the next pattern is in the second red line. 

The C button erases everything that has been stored.

Multi Combo Mode

Developed to combine the patterns. 

It’s possible to combine up to 8 patterns, all on the same channel. 

It is as if the instrument was opened 8 times, each of which is customizable.

Multi Channel Mode

Developed for all owners of virtual organ console with no more than 3 keyboards and a pedal.

It’s possible to combine up to 2 patterns with every controller.

The keyboards have to be set on channels 1, 2, 3 and the pedal on channel 4.

However, the channels are still editable from the Kontakt interface.
