Specifications and Screenshots of the Santanyi Organ Model

Characteristics:

  • A 2 manual organ of the Spanish type with the characteristic Trompeteria consisting of ranks of horizontal trumpets.
  • The reverberation time is 4-5 s.
  • The noise samples (tracker action, blower noise, stop action noise) are included but can be disabled by the user.
  • Combination pistons (not originally present) were added digitally to facilitate the performance.
  •  The samples are available in 24 bit / 48kHz depth but may be loaded to Hauptwerk at 16 bit to save RAM.
  • There are three levels of reverb tails - staccato, portato, long for optimal performance. The short releases courtesy of Al Morse.
  • Initial chiff of pipes may be controlled via MIDI velocity sensitive keyboard.
  • User adjustable per stop voicing available.
  • Requires 1280x1024 px screen resolution. Single console, as well as dual stop jambs are available. The stops are positioned exactly as on the original console (including the various style drawknobs). However, the Pedal Contres drawstop was added for the ease of use of the Organ Model; originally this stop is always on without having a visible drawstop.
  • For more details about the stops available, you should consider reading the article on the historical registration on the Santanyi organ.

RAM Consumption:

  • full organ at 20-bit, 48kHz ... 4.8 GB
  • full organ at 16-bit, 48kHz ... 3.6 GB

 

 

Santanyi - Specification

  • The organ has 2 manuals of 48 keys. The low C# is missing but was added digitally, so the Hauptwerk version has 4 full octaves - 49 keys.
  • The pedal has 10 buttons, two of which are dedicated to "Terratremol" - a subtonic beating sound. These occupy the leftmost and the rightmost buttons. The 8 buttons in between these two extremems form the diatonic scale of the pedal keys, i.e. C - D - E - F - G - A - Bb - B. The adaptation to a modern pedalboard was solved by shifting the pedal compass to the middle pedal octave. Therefore, the low Teratremol is positioned on the lowest B key of the modern MIDI pedalboard (MIDI tone 047); the mid c key (MIDI 048) is the C key of the pedal compass etc.

With the help of Hauptwerk native functions you can adjust many features of the instrument: volume, tuning, amount of reverberation, wind fluctuation, memory consumption by loading only a subset, bit depth and many others. In addition, Santanyi organ has a complex photorealistic interface giving to you full controll over the organ. Click on the images to learn more.
