Casavant, Opus 3246 - 17 Stop Tracker Organ

         This beautiful organ is of the North German style from the builders Casavant Frères in Quebec, Canada. Built in 1975 for Grace Lutheran Church in Champaign, Illinois, it has 17 stops, mechanical action and is currently tuned to equal temperament. This instrument spans 56 notes in the two manuals and 32 in the pedals. Each note was sampled from every stop creating a total of 832 stereo samples. Post production included seamless looping of each note, and careful noise reduction techniques to minimize blower rumble. Natural church reverb was also captured for each release which ensures absolute realism. This library contains nearly 1 GB of audio data. The samples have been encrypted for use with Hauptwerk 2.21 and higher using the import Hauptwerk 1 feature. The Hauptwerk 1.2 version is no longer available.
