MIDI-File Demos:

You can either listen to mp3 files listed below, or you can download the whole package of wav files at once to make your own music CD. The music is the same but the number of MB to download differs very much.

Wav files have been downsampled to CD quality (44.1kHz, 16bit). Originally, they were recorded by Hauptwerk in 24bit depth, 48kHz. Now they are packed with rar for download. You can use them to burn your own Santanyi organ music CD - the quality is far superior to the mp3 versions. Basically, high frequencies are neglected or misinterpreted by mp3 format which results in not precise rendition of organ sound and it also contributes to increased noise.

The mp3 in low bitrate have usually 3-6 MB, while those available in high bitrate have usually 12-17 MB. The music may occasionally start some 15 sec. later than the file itself, since there might be the time needed to make the stop preparation - the sound of the stop action and the organ blower is heard in the demos!

Other demo pieces

Althogh Santanyi organ is suitable for the Spanish repertoir, I was surprised how also compositions from the other organ schools sound on this sample set. The German and other music acquires unexpected fresh taste when performed on the Santanyi organ. Musical purists will disagree but I found this experience worthy. Well, recently I have got very interenting comment-criticism from a real musical purist which I publish here gratefully, since I believe it is very valuable from the musical point of view. If you wish, read the comment of  a musicologist!

The obvious limitation is the absence of the pedal. But the bass part of the Grand Orgue manual can be used very well instead!
