Music : JS Bach - Organ Sonata n°6 in G BWV 530 - III (Allegro) performed by Xavier Pironet (MIDI multitrack recording) - Sample set : Litomysl More info : www.xavdlp.com/... - / dminorandmore
I have not played a pipe organ since I was in college but am still enthralled with the organ and the amazing sounds it produces. It goes right to your soul and what a great piece of music this is! Congrats but I'd never be able to figure it out and can't afford an organ.
You are so briliant you build the organ yourself! We are so attracted by this instrument, however for its gaint and too expensive, nearly all of the fans could not get a chance to practice it, except studying in the conservatory or serving in a church. So you really did a magical things which we all jealous of!
I'm truly amazed by your system, the sound, the music, your language skills, computer knowledge, playing ability, practical ability and doubtless undisclosed abilities. There is an Irish poet called Goldsmith who wrote 'The village schoolmaster' a line from which sprang to mind, 'one small head could carry all he knew', most appropriate I thought! Thank you for your work.
The end product of all your work are Amazing videos of some of the most beautiful music ever written being played masterfully. And boy does it sound rich and authentic, Bravo!!!
Je suis arrivé par hasard sur vos publications RUclips et je suis muet d'admiration tant par l'ingéniosité de construction de votre orgue que par vos interprétations magnifiques de ces si belles oeuvres de Jean-Sébastien Bach que j'écoute depuis de bien nombreuses années. Toutes mes félicitations pour ce que vous faites et merci de le faire partager, vous êtes un véritable artiste ! Encore un grand bravo et au plaisir de découvrir vos interprétations à venir.
Je suis 100 % d'accord avec vous. Arriver à avoir une telle sonorité avec un instrument non traditionnel tient du miracle. Et Xavier a un niveau professionnel!
The listening brings JOY... then HEALING... and finally PURPOSE to our lives... and all because of Papa Johann and the language of his musical incarnation, plus, of course, modern computer chips about the size of his dear thumbnail. Thank you Maestro Pironet for your vast array of multiple talents graciously conjured and honed to enliven our weary souls. Please SPARKLE often, again and again to light up the darkness... (Naysayers may now put their hand upon their mouth and wait for it....wait for it....)
Thank you for your comment but please don't be mistaken : this recording wasn't made "live" : the 3 parts were recorded separately. It was one of my first experiments with Hauptwerk, when I only owned one keyboard and no pedalboard. I hope that one day I'll be able to play it for real... in a few years maybe ;-)
How much it would cost the entire organ? After exercise with it, it is easy to make a concert in a Church? I heard a lot of pieces in a 5th full...how many registers does it have? I wish to meet or chat with the organist. Michele
G'day Great to see someone with a similar setup to yours. Mine also has two Behringer manuals plus one Alesis. The Alesis is OK but it is about twice the playing weight of the Behringers which I prefer. I have Hauptwerk 4.2.1 full version running on a Mac Mini with 16 gigs of RAM. I have a pair of JBL studio monitors plus the subwoofer which makes bottom C pedal on a 16 foot pipe sound nice. I am not an organist. I am a frustrated bad pianist who from the age of about 12 wanted to learn organ. Sadly that was not to be and I had to wait about 50 years to accidentally find Hauptwerk organs in RUclips. Initially I had only keyboard and the free version plus some free samples but over the last 5 years it has grown. My pedal board is from an old Conn organ and is 25 notes. I midi converted it with bits from Bulgaria. I have the Hereford Cathedral Organ and a small Silberman instrument as well as the Paramount range of Theatre Organs. Congratulations on your organ and playing.
Really congratulations Xavier for your console, as well as on the way you interpret and give life to various Bach tracks. Can I ask you how depth, wide and how tall from ground (or if you prefer from central E on pedalboard) your console is? Thanks in advance
Dear Rob, you are an amazing organist! I watched you for a long time and decided to write and ask you for help on how to assemble such a good instrument for this sound at home. I can use my Sonus 60 from Viscount, just what kind of computer, and of course the awlio system, to produce 32 "bass I will be very grateful to you and thank you for your precious time spent on reading my letter.Thank you in advance for your help and God bless you and Merry Christmas!
Great playing and organ sound. I have a pristine Rodgers 22D I'd like to midi-ize and apply Hauptwerk but would be a major challenge for me (would need help).
When you watch the pictures on my Contrebombarde homepage you see that I have a little bit the same minimalistic solution but instead of an old organ case I modified my near antique old oak desk to an organ with three Nektar MIDI-USB keyboards and pedal board that I found on Marktplaats and midified it with help and hardware from www.gino-midi.nl see www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/user/3346
Thanks very much, D Minor. Just what I wanted. Now, if only I could play the way you do. I have been considering the midiplus dreamer 61 keyboards because they are thinner - and blue instead of red. Any thoughts?
I don't know much about the Midiplus, it seems to have half-weighted keys (somewhere between organ and piano action) so that wouldn't be my choice for playing organ repertoire. Also, there are plenty of controllers available out there, I guess it's only a matter of personal taste... and wallet size ;-)
You’re right, there are more controllers than can be imagined, but none of them are really suitable for organ conversions, sadly. I thought the Behringers have half-weighted keys also. Maybe I should just follow your lead. I wish you lived in Yuma. I’d love to take lessons from a master. Honestly, I’ve never heard anyone play Bach I’d rather hear than you. Thanks again very much.
There are many ways to do that. You can assign any switch, slider or pedal of any midi controller to any function in Hauptwerk, including stops buttons. I mostly use a switch pedal (CC64) assigned to the "next" stepper preset.
I use Sumatra pdf reader (free) but it can be done with any pdf reader. You just need to assign the 2 footswitches to the keyboard keys that your reader uses to turn pages.
Thanks for the very fast answer. :-) I'll try that. Incidentally, I also play with Hauptwerk and the organ of Zwolle, and my large-scale aim is to play the F major Toccata, which you play fantastically. Above all, I admire your footwork - and I follow your style of presentation.
Are the acoustic properties of the cathedral adjustable within the Hauptwerk Software or do you add them in post performance editing? E.g. Reverb, decay time etc. Surely the samples in RAM are "dry" recordings.
Hauptwerk, I understand, stands out from most others by using "wet" samples, including the acoustics of the church/cathedral that the organ pipe sounds in. But an authoritative answer from our organist himself would be interesting to hear.
hello Xavier, I find your life very interesting. Although I am not an experienced organist, I would very much like to build a digital organ myself. I am unfamiliar with technical issues and should study well, but is there a guide to making a domestic organ similar to yours?ty so much. Alessandro
You could try what others have done. ruclips.net/video/AoFcEz0MsmI/видео.html , or Think it together... 4 MIDI keyboards ($30/ each, at the Goodwill) 3 manuals (keyboards), 1 keyboard for the Pedals. Installing a keyboard under the pedals is the quickest/easiest way to build the pedals from scratch. A 'touchscreen' on Ebay (mine cost $80 for a 32 inch). Some 2x4s. Organ bench from the Goodwill ($10). Some keyboard Volume pedals (A sewing machine speed pedal worked, for me. Not quite a MIDI devise, lol.) The 'FREE' GrandOrgue (the cheap version of Hauptwerk program (Windows 32/64, though it might be available for MAC OS? GrandOrgue has many old pipe organs available for it, and regular organ programs; and piano.). From eBay: 4x USB MIDI Interface cables (the 'cheap' ones seem to work, ok.), 1 USB Hub (7 MIDI USB connections available); and the touchsreen. There are lots of GrandOrgue help sites on the web.
I also plan to midify an old analogue pedal board. Xavier, there is an important question to the topic of NOISE! Do you live in the ground flour or have your neighbors under your flat ever noticed you playing organ by hearing all this knocking sound of the keyboards and especially the pedal board? I have a keyboard with grand piano action, even a special "silent one" (Kawai VPC1) but the people under my flat definitely heared that knocking noise at playing the keys! So, even how much noisier must a pedal board be through the floor!
I am on the 3rd floor and I have neighbors but they never complained about the noise, although I am pretty sure that they can hear it sometimes, without knowing exactly what it comes from. Most of the time I use headphones and I never play late at night, or with manuals only.
The cheapest solution I think would be rubber sheets. As an example from anti-slip-mats, used for cargo-securing in trucks. You would need only some tiny stripes under the frame of the pedal board and under the stand of the keyboards. Maybe I'll get a cheap 30-notes-pedalboard from an old analogue organ this week and I will definitely try to tweek it's all mechanics to make it less noisy. The material, the floor is made from, plays a big role: floors made from concrete are more silent than floors made from wood. If you use said rubber stripes and addintionally play without shoes, just in socks, I'm sure, you could also play in the deep night without people hear any knocking noises. Thanks again for your wonderful work, Xavier! Bach is smiling to you from heaven!
My Hauptwerk project is very similar with yours, but I have a organ pedalboard (32 notes). At momemt I have 2 manuals, but I want 3 manuals of M-Audio.Wh at is the Hauptwerk version you use? How many instruments do you have?
Actually I only use the speakers for video recordings. On almost every other occasion I use headphones. My instrument is also located in a very small room so I don't really miss a subwoofer... and I am pretty sure that my neightboors think the same ;-)
@@DMinorandmore Well, my organ is also located in a small room. I'm searching monitor speakers, but I'm wondering if I will need a subwoofer or not ...
@@DMinorandmore my keyboards have that too, but my speakers are 5.1 surround, with 3 x 3.5 mm jack. I'm currently using an external sound card, the original sound card of my computer only has a single 2.1 3.5 jack. Ths problem is, I can't use ASIO to reduce delay with the external sound card, I get an error if I choose the external sound card on ASIO
Dommage que toutes ces explications sont en anglais mais aussi Hauptwerk est tout en anglais, quand on est nul... mais par déduction ou tatillon on y arrive ! D'empêche que c'est fabuleux on y est fortement addict et non nocif pour la santé 😁
Hi,I built an extremely similar setup to D Minor, except I did keep both manuals and gave them the same treatment as the pedalboard (midified them 1 key at a time with appropriate electronics). I didn't go with midikits.net but went through Midi Gadget Boutique. I guess they do similar jobs, and I have been really happy about the service and advises from Mr Petkov there. If you can't get midikits to work for you, maybe worth checking Midi Gadget Boutique.
The 2 keyboards look bad , the distance between both keyboards are too much ! Sounds great but you could have done a better job without using those cheap keyboards
@@jackiemurgatroyd1148 La véritable performance n'est-elle pas de réussir à faire croire aux passagers qu'ils roulent en Rolls Royce alors qu'elle n'a que des roues de brouette ?... :-)
Thank you for sharing your setup. It is very helpful in designing my setup. I have an 88 key now. Any reason that I could not use that? I plan to add a 61 key as the second manual. Thank you for your opinion on this.
Well, it will work... But there is no reason why you would need an 88keys for organ repertoire. And it also could be a bummer if you care about the look of your setup... But hey, look who's talking, the guy playing on red keyboards :D
Update 2022 : Ram upgraded to 32 Gb - Monitor is now a 32" Samsung TV set
Videos are shot with a Canon EOS 6D and 2 Canon EOS R6.
How much money did you spend?
32 GB? Does Cubase need that much? I was already surprised you need more than 4 for midi synthesis!
@@l3p3 Cubase does not, but you never have too much ram for Hauptwerk. The most recent multi-channel samplesets require 64 or more...
I love when organists assemble their own Hauptwerk setups!
I have not played a pipe organ since I was in college but am still enthralled with the organ and the amazing sounds it produces. It goes right to your soul and what a great piece of music this is! Congrats but I'd never be able to figure it out and can't afford an organ.

We are so attracted by this instrument, however for its gaint and too expensive, nearly all of the fans could not get a chance to practice it, except studying in the conservatory or serving in a church. So you really did a magical things which we all jealous of!

This is exactly what I want. But I need to sell my Prophet 10 synth first. as it sits in a console like this one in the video. Anybody interested?
I’ve always wanted to set up an hauptwerk but the pedalboard has been an issue , it seems to be hard to do it on my own.
u can make your own pedal boards....google it for solution.cheers
