Extended Editions
Volumes 2 and 3 include an extended edition expanding the keyboard compass from 49 notes to 56 and the pedal compass from 27 notes to 30. Due to the extensions nearly all repertoire from the baroque and most romantic repertoire may be playable on the organ without losing notes at the top end. Additional couplers have been added allowing the organist more freedom when registering a piece of music. These couplers are also presented in the original version in Volume III.
Sampled Vox Humana Tremulants
The Vox Humana included with Volume III has been sampled both with and without tremulant capturing the beautiful sound of this unique Vox Humana stop. Engaging the tremulant stop switches between both sets of samples.
Licensing
The sample set is encrypted using the special Hauptwerk .hbw and .hbx file
formatting and will not be accessible via any other hardware or software sample
engine. Each user will receive a dongle license (USB key) update after purchase
of this set. This set will not work with trial versions of Hauptwerk, users MUST
own a licensed version of either the Basic or Advanced Editions of Hauptwerk.
Using the Hauptwerk Advanced Edition, users have the ability to voice & balance
the organ for their own listening environment. The sample set is not locked to
the original organ definition file, therefore users may use the CODM provided
with Hauptwerk. Please note that by doing so we cannot guarantee adequate
results as this is effectively removing all included voicings, tremulant
adjustments and user interface controls.
Operating Systems 
Hauptwerk is available for both the Mac and PC. This virtual
instrument will work properly on either operating system (OS X 10.4 or higher and Windows XP/Vista 32 and 64 bit). We have tested the
virtual instrument on both Windows XP-64 and Apple Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Please consult the Hauptwerk website for more information about which
operating system may be right for you.
Temperaments
This virtual instrument allows using any temperament chosen within Hauptwerk. It comes with the original organ
tuning leaving the samples at their original pitch as recorded during the sampling sessions (samples were not digitally corrected). The original tuning is A=448 Equal with the natural random tuning errors present. The organ file will add more random tuning deviations for any temperament chosen other than Original organ tuning, however these tuning errors may be entirely eliminated by using the Audio engine settings under General settings in Hauptwerk (Random pipe detuning adjustment and set to 0%).
