GO-ODF für das Billerbeck Demo Semidry Sample Set von Sonus Paradisi

Dag Mario.

Het is inderdaad gratis maar je moet het net zo bestellen als een sampleset die je moet kopen. De prijs is alleen in dit geval €0,00.

Als je het "gekocht" komt het in je persoonlijke downloadomgeving waar je het maximaal 3x kunt downloaden

Het is wat ingewikkeld maar in het Forum bij het thema: GrandOrgue ODF für Billerbeck wordt e.e.a. uitgelegd.

English is fine for me. I am Dutch and I am afraid that my German is worse than my English.

You're right. It is not by design but it is a bug in the Odf. The Schwellwerk registers have more pipes and samples (73/68) than the number of keys on the manual (61) which I assume is related to the use of Sub- and Super couplings. In the sample set, the registers with 73 pipes start at 024-C.wav, while the Vox Coelestis (with 68 tubes) starts at 029-F.wav.

When making the Odf, I assumed that the first key of the manual should correspond to the 036-C.wav as usual, so that the extra pipes should be on the "Sub" side. But that turns out to be wrong. They are apparently meant for the "super" side. I checked it with the Hauptwerk version. This shows that I should link the 024-C.wav with the first key and for the Vox Coelestis the 029-F.wav with the first F-key.

I will change the Odf and upload a new version to the filebase.

My Odf production is learning by doing. Untill now I have not considered the use of Rank objects but if I will if that could enhance the quality of the Odf or simplify the production. If you have concrete suggestions you are welcome.

Kind regards,

Bas

Thanks, Bas. I was building an ODF for this, and I had the same problem with the Schwellwerk. I'm waiting for your ODF, because it looks nicer than mine. I'm also using the front samples, rather than the semi dry.

One reason to use ranks is that it makes it easier to modify or extend a sampleset. For instance, if I want to make a composed Cornet stop V, if all of the stops are in ranks, then I can create a stop that refers to all five of the ranks I want to compose the Cornet with.

I was also thinking of experimenting with mixing various channels by creating a couple of different ODFs which will mix various channels by loading them as ranks and them referring to them with one stop. This will be much easier if the samples are loaded in ranks.

Thanks for your work,

Tom

Hi Tom ,.

I have uploaded the new version as you will have seen.

I now understand your comment about using ranks. In this Odf I also used ranks but only for the Schwellwerk and the Rugpositiv. They have tremulant samples that I had to import as separate ranks via Vincent's Organbuilder program, but in the Grandorgue system I then had to merge them into one rank again with the main samples.

As for mixing different channels. This is can also be done in one Odf with the channels to be mixed in separate enclosures. See my “GO-ODF Bergen op Zoom Surrond” (available in the Filebase).

Be aware that one of our forum members (Sjoerd) has undertaken to create an Odf for the full version of Billerbeck!

Kind regards,

Bas

Thanks Bas. I'm going to play around with adding another channel and putting in an enclosure. It should be interesting. I'll have to play this sample set more before I decide whether to purchase the full version.

How do you like this set?

Hi Tom,

I am not an organ expert and my capacities as an organist are also very limited. I know a bit more about recording. I only have the Demo, so I have to rely on that. I think it is a beautiful sounding organ and the acoustics of the church are also beautiful. But moreover I find the quality of the (SemiDry) recording very good.

What exactly do you mean by "putting in an enclosure” . Do you intent to use a physical enclosure? Or are you thinking of a virtual one? Grandorgue enclosures are not actual enclosures but only volume controls. I also think that this organ deserves a good simulation of enclosures. My idea is to filter the relevant samples with an equalizer and to create extra samples imitating a closed enclosure that I can then mix with the original samples, just the same way as with the mixing of front and rear samples.

Kind regards,

Bas
