Everybody should try OMNI I haven't heard form Mikelectric whether he is interested in posting to this website because of the mechanics involved.
Trying requires, that you can download that organ.
The legal situation of the organ needs be OK:
Lars sampleset allow derived version licensed under the CC-BY SA. If you used material [graphics, samples] from other foreign sources, they also need a license, which allow you to modify and publish the result.

As for the combination action, Graham didn't have time to finish it. It was supposed to have decade memory like the GO floating panel and some other organs offered. But if you move to the next decade, it overwrites, etc. There is a 10-ABC memory that works, but it is not quite enough. There are only 10 generals. Nothing else.
It would be a lot easier for me, if you would post the ODF, so that I can look up, how the various elements are defined.
What do you mean with "decade memory"? Do you mean the "sequencer"? What do you mean with "overwrites"?
You and I are using different terms and you just use one or two keywords as error description.
If you write more like "If I press A, then press B, then press C, GO does X instead of expected Y", I can provide better help.
Adding more elements (eg. generals) is not complicated - I can provide you some hints, if tell me, what you want to achive.

The thumping is a left-over problem from earlier versions of GO. It mostly affects the bass on the manuals.
That is 16 stops. It is random with releases, I think. I can't isolate or tell you more than that. It sounds like someone has turned on a high load in the house. Graham seems to know what it is.
So it is a release management bug: https://sourceforge.net/p/ourorgan/bugs/15/ ?
Being able to test with the samples will probably be necessary.

We don't need an undo function. It is very difficult to keep up with saving. Hauptwerk does it automatically
In addition to the other problems, GO version 1726 crashes randomly from time to time, and I lose piston changes and voicing changes, if I don't constantly save. In any case, when you change pistons on a pipe organ equipped with capture combination action, it is saved and done. Why should GO be any different?
Have you never accidentially kept SET on (or turned it on) and then destroyed combination, because they were overwritten instead of being recalled?
I'm are not blessed with the skills, that every voicing change improves things.
Being able to try out things and undo them by not saving is a really convinient feature.
Have you tried GO under Linux? The crash reports are mostly Windows.
There is a version, which you can install/boot from a USB stick without touching your windows installation:

I'm using an EMU 1212sound card with ASIO. It DOESN"T hang with v1726, but it does with 1919. I'll try the newer version now released. That is, when I attempt to make changes to audio, etc, I can't close the dialogue box. It won't accept the ok button. So I can't even set up an organ. This is not a old config file problem either. I've erased them whenever I try a new version. Why doesn't the GO software make a clean
install, anyway?
If you close the setting dialog, GO reinitialisies the sound output (closed/open the sound driver). This hangs on your system. This is system dependend as your sound card driver is part of that process.
GO supports various sound driver models (WMME, DirectSound [using PortAudio or RTAudio], ASIO [using PortAudio or RTAudio], WDM/KS, WASPI), so there are many potential error sources. This needs to be narrowed down.
My last builds include no ASIO, so a hang with them would rule out a bug in the ASIO code.
I also need to know the exact title of the sound card in the GO audio settings, which triggers the hang (as well as the previous title, if you changed this setting).

Setting up a stand alone convolution reverb is rather difficult for me, at least, to understand. It involves three other programs that need to be connected or set up to handshake. I simply don't know how to make it all work. The resident IR reverb is okay, but it always has to be okayed when I open the organ, otherwise there is a 1 second delay in keying. And if I stop playing for 10 seconds or so, and change pistons or pieces to play, the first note or chord sounds with a sudden burst. Don't have that without the reverb.
There is an experimental GO build using a different reverb engine:

It would be nice if future versions of Grand Orgue had old bugs fixed, especially auto-save.
