Zwolle Schnitger Organ Model - convolution of the Dry version using Zwolle IR's

The IR's were designed especially for the Zwolle Dry sample set. You can download the demo version of the IR's from our web. The midi performance of Bruhn's Praeludium was convolved using all the available IR's in the set (i.e. different pair of impulses for each the division).

Zwolle Schnitger Organ Model - preliminary demos comparing all versions of the sample set

The table below present various outputs you can get using the Zwolle sample set.

  • Column 1: the demo pieces are available either in mp3 (wma) or in wave format. Wave files are rar-archived for download.
  • Column 2: the Zwolle Dry sample set. Hauptwerk output without any further changes.
  • Column 3: Zwolle Dry sample set convolved with a impulse response of a cathedral. Caution: It is not the impulse response of the Zwolle church! It is just an impulse response I liked. The convolution presents the "front" audio channels. Using different impulse responses, you can virtually move the instrument into different spaces.
  • Column 4: The same as above Zwolle Dry sample set, but this time a different IR was used to model the "rear" audio channels.
  • Column 5: The output obtained in the col. 3+4 was assembled into one multichannel audio file. It can be played back only on systems capable of handling the 5.1 audio format. The surround files are encoded with the Adobe Audition Surround Encoder, using the Windows Media Audio Lossless - VBR Quality 100 encoder. The order of channels is: 1-FrontLeft, 2-FrontRight, 3-Center (not used), 4-LFE, 5-LeftSurround, 6-RightSurround. Be sure your surround audio system matches the channels correctly.
  • Column 6: Zwolle Wet sample set, without any additional reverb.
  • Column 7: Zwolle Surround sample set, only the rear samples were used! (The corresponding front recordings are available in the col. 6)
  • Column 8: Zwolle Surround sample set, using the front and the rear Hauptwerk output assembled into one multichannel audio file.

The Zwolle Meantone Tuning scheme was used to record the demo pieces.

N. Bruhns - Praeludium in e

This demo piece shows various plenum (not tutti!) registrations on all the manuals.
