Specifications and Screenshots of the
Santanyi Organ - Hauptwerk
(for Hauptwerk 1 screenshot click here)
Characteristics:
- A 2 manual organ of the Spanish type with the characteristic
Trompeteria consisting of ranks of horizontal trumpets (a "Bombardwerk").
The reverberation time is high (4-5 sec) but the reverberation level is
such that it does not really disturb the performance even in the
quickest passages.
- The noise samples (tracker action, blower noise, stop action noise)
are included but can be disabled by the user.
- Some 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.
- Initial chiff of pipes may be controlled via MIDI velocity sensitive
keyboard.
- User adjustable per stop voicing available.
- Requires 1182 x 537 px screen resolution, i.e. you need at least
1200 x 800 px resolution (standard on modern laptops) or 1280 x 1024 on
PC monitors.
- 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 16 bit, 48kHz ... 2.75 GB
(without the tracker noise)
- if multiple looping disabled: 2.87 GB (with
the tracker noise)
- Compressed, all loops: 1.9 GB
- The RAM consumption when loaded dry: 1.80 GB (with the tracker noise).
Wet or dry?
The original ambience was faithfully captured during the recording
process. The sample set is naturally very wet. However, if you like more the
dry sample sets, this sample set is for you very well suitable.
Thanks to carefull positioning of the release points, this sample set
performs very well also when loaded dry. Hauptwerk is capable of
loading wet organ in dry way. To compare wet and dry load, listen to the two
versions of Cabanilles Xacare on the demonstration page. |
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 "Terremotto" - a subtonic
beating sound and 8 buttons form the diatonic scale C - D - E - F - G - A - B
(=A#) - B.
- If you did not earlier, you should now consider reading the article on
the
historical registration on the Santanyi organ!

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

Santanyi & Hauptwerk 1
The sample set is available for Hauptwerk
1 (or MyOrgan). The samples are the same except that they were downsampled to 16 bit/44.1kHz
to match the Hauptwerk 1 specifications. The main limitations compared to Hauptwerk 2 are:
-
no multiple looping (only 1 loop per
sample available)
-
no multiple sampling (only 1 sample per
key per stop available)
-
no Terremotto stop
-
no noise samples (no blower, no stop
action noise, no key noise)
-
no photorealistic console
-
equal tuning only (1 semitone lower than
usual)
The only advantage is the lower memory
consumption: 1.87 GB for whole organ.
