Jörgensen Tribute Organ

Download

Requirements

The organ needs Milan Digital Audio’s Hauptwerk Software version 4.0 or higher.
The download is very close to 1GB, and loading the organ on one of my machines shows that it needs around 1.2GB of available memory. Loading the sample set in Mono can further reduce the memory demand, and I have tried to instruct Hauptwerk then to simulate a C/C# spread at 4.5 meters width. Loading the samples in Mono will still play in Stereo, but Hauptwerk first makes a Mono version of the original Stereo, and then takes care of panning the resulting loaded Mono samples into Stereo at real time. In my opinion this is audibly inferior to using the supplied Stereo samples, and should be avoided unless your machine has a very limited amount of memory.

It is a Wet organ, but the reverb is rather short – typically ~1.4 seconds. The samples and organ definitions are encrypted, and you cannot reduce the reverb. This is intentional. The organ does not need the HW USB dongle, and it plays very well with the Hauptwerk Free edition and its 256 polyphony limit. This is also intentional, but I strongly advise to buy Hauptwerk, it is worth every penny, fidelity-wise.

Installation notes

The Hauptwerk installation package comes with both a ”normal” and a ”locked for 48kHz Audio driver” version in the same installer:

  • Jorgensen2MWet
  • Jorgensen2MWet-ForLocked48kHzDrivers

Both are installed by default unless you select “No Action” on one of them. They use the same data package so only one Data section is installed. When loading in Hauptwerk both can be made available, and they will then share the data, but also the cache area, so if you switch between them the cache is rebuilt for the last version loaded.

If you know that your audio hardware works with locked 48kHz drivers, select Install on that one, and not on the other. Vice versa: if you know your hardware is NOT locked to 48kHz, select Install on the normal version, and not so on the 48kHz version. You may install both, but they will overwrite each other’s cache when switching between them, adding time to the initial loading each time you load.
