I really like the software grand orgue, however I have always find it hard to make the sound fit to my room. I was thinking of buying the dry version of the laurentzkerk sample set on sonus paradisi, make an appropriate odf file, and use jack to add external convolution reverb adapted to the output channels and the circumtances.

But because those samples are so expensive, I was wondering if it was worth it to do so, and if it was even possible to achieve good result for this.

I mean, in theory, if we have a very good impulsion response of a church, it should be possible to get a real sounding reverb using convolution.

Also, how hard and time consuming it is to make an odf for grandorgue ?

Also for those who own it I would like your opinion on the laurentskerk samples, I am trying to get a very complete set capable of sounding both very baroque and very french (even if actually I play only baroque)

Thank you very much 1

When using GrandOrgue directly on alsa, with 128 frames per buffer according to grandorgue, I get 10ms of latency, no matter the desred latency I put in (I wonder if it actually has any influence)

When plugging grandorgue through jack, I can't do it with less than 512 frames per buffer without getting a RT Api stream closed error from grandorgue, and with 512 frames jack tells me I have around 17ms of latency.

I'm not using any reverbs, I am even using the demo samples and piano samples in order to track down latency. With other wetter samples, I feel that my latency + the latency of the wetter sample makes it unplayable.

I'm am used to the real instrument, I feel like I can't achieve piece as long as I don't have at least less than 5ms total latency, but I won't know since I don't have it.

I finished my grandorgue setup on Archlinux, and I am very happy with the software. However, I feel like I am getting mad with the latency, which is probably due to my integrated soundcard that can't handle less than 256 frames per buffer, ending up with about 20 ms of latency (which definitively feels like more). Or maybe is it my cheap usb keyboard ? Or my cheap midi interface for my 100% homemade pedalboard.

Anyway, I think I need an audio midi interface in order to have no latency (do I ? are there optimizations I could do to avoid buying one) Could you please recommend me a cheap one compatible with linux ? (I am quite broke, hence why I made the pedalboard myself from wooden planks).

Here is my config = Archlinux, intelcore i7 960, asus sabertooth x58 motherboard, 8 gigs of ram.

Thank you very much for your help !
