Specifications and Screenshots of the Caimari Organ

Versions: Original | "Standardized"

Features:

  • a 3-manual, historical Spanish organ, the only Spanish organ preserved in its original form including the short octave on the whole Iberian penisula!
  • Great Organ (Organo mayor) with full and rich Principal chorus as well as cornets and typical Spanish Trompeteria (horizontal Trumpets chorus).
  • Positiv (Cadireta) with solo stops as well as with a small Principal chorus used to contrast the Organo mayor.
  • Récit (Teclat d'Alt) with a solo Cromorn, Cornet and Flutes, also having a smaller Principal chorus providing an "echo" to the Organo mayor.

Virtual console

  • a not too wet sample set (sometimes called "moist" sounding, not wet, not dry) - the intensity level of the reverberation is rather low, though original.
  • available in 24bit / 48kHz resolution.
  • the Palma St. Agusti organ tuning chart added to the temperament folder of Hauptwerk to be used in conjunction with this sample set. The temperament is equal with an a = 408 Hz.
  • The extended version of the sample set makes the organ look more "standard European" allowing so for other organ music styles, not just early Spanish music.
  • Besides the original Spanish layout of the instrument, another ODF is supplied where the specification and the layout of the instrument was changed to a "standard" organ shape.
  • Version 2: multiple releases support (three levels), dual touch LCD support added. Voicing retouched.

RAM Consumption:

  • full organ at 16 bit, 48kHz ... 3.7 GB (memory compression enabled)
