Just the console frame now and your swell pedals/shoes to attach to the pedal board so that they are comfortable to operate. The end is definitely in sight.

Of course, the dear lady said no such thing . . . but that didn't stop the guillotine!)
Great to see your hauptwerk organ connected and "singing". I really look forward to your hauptwerk videos. I am also new to hauptwerk and am learning from you. I am turning an old baldwin console into my hauptwerk organ. I need to install the midi strip for the pedals. Right now I play around on one manual. Even on that the sound is great. Thanks for your vids. Mike
Hi Fraser, you can use the Impulse Response (IR) settings built into Hauptwerk to get reverb on the theatre organ if you want. If you're interested in having me explain how to do it, I can help you out with that-just reply to let me know, and I'll open Hauptwerk when I have some time to look into the menus!
I just listened with headphones and that cinema organ is actually in stereo with different voices panned to different spots, so I am picking out the individual voices in greater detail than I ever could before.
Frasier, number one, I absolutely love your channel. I had that same cinema organ sample set. You can do so much with it. Number 2 as for the "academics" I would not mind them to much. I certainly don't. They are killing the organ with thier dead playing and horrid registers. They seem to fail to remember the organ is the King of Music all music. And hearing you play and another friend of mine its no wonder why the organ has that distinct title. Sadly covid has wiped me out of funds but I can and will do us share your videos and ask people to donate. This is the future of the organ and if this instrument is yo survive and become more popular we need more organists like you and less of the other kind. Two thumbs way up! Cheers From Nashville Tn.
Thank you for those kind words! The organ world is in dire need of help - sadly from itself. As you say, there are just too many zombies out there churning out the same old stuff (I’m certainly not including any of my RUclips colleagues here - I’m taking about the organ police lurking in churches/academia/swamps/etc) trying to ensure that the organ world remains an elite club for the initiated few. If they keep up, there will be no organ world in a few years. I like to think I’m doing my bit to shake things up a bit, pi**ing the establishment off in the process!
@@FraserGartshore you are doing a great job. We all have a part to play in promoting the organ in all its forms from the home organ all the way up to the might pipe organ. As I said I absolutely love your channel keep up the amazing work!
Isn’t it fun? This is going to be an amazing new chapter in my life! You’ll be getting an email from me tomorrow by the way! As for the Theater Organs - you’ll need to show me how the reverb function works. I haven’t delved that deep yet.
Fantabulous / Have to encourage my husband to get and complete his build / Lucky to have an old organ cabinet to fit it all in too with a good amp and speakers and a nice bench seat
Nice job! That theatre organ is crying for some reverb. The old theatres didn't have nearly the same sound deadening that modern theatres do so there was still a lot of room for the sound to "mix". I wonder if you could route the output of hauptwerk through a DAW like cakewalk (free and fully functional) and take that output as your main? Then it's just a matter of applying a reverb plugin on the channels. I'm not sure how that might affect latency though!
No reverb plugin is needed. Gartshore can use the Impulse Response (IR) stuff built into Hauptwerk. It took me a while to figure out how to use it, but it's not too hard!
Glad to see you've got it up and running! Can't wait to see how the project progresses! Just a suggestion that might make it easier. I know you said you don't want to get large touch screens for this, but maybe getting a touch screen PC or monitor would help you out with your registrations for organs 4 manuals (being able to use the pistons available with the program), as well as setting your own presets. Looks great so far, and I can't wait to see what comes next for the home organ!
It's great, isn't it! I'm going to try adding some internal Hauptwerk reverb, once I've worked that out, to make it sound more Movie Palace than Bingo Hall... Do you have any other cinema sets you'd recommend?
You almost made me cry (emotion at seeing you actually playing your 'baby'), Fraser. Beautiful. Well done, and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy as we long-term HW users enjoy. A new world opens before you .... go explore.
Nice setup already! A tip, mac has a build-in 2nd screen option with an iPad called SideCar. So if you use it as a basic extra screen then you won’t need third party apps anymore.
This makes me want to play the Eisenbarth organ (sample set) again. Having many sample sets, I tend to forget how great the 'free ones' are. That English Horn is gorgeous. Thanks!
Many guy;s ask me why I have a standard 13 pedals. Well, this video... Theater organ explain it well. I play much faster and controlled pedals just like a bass player on the 13 pedal. I tried fast playing on the Viscount CL40 (27 pedal) and I couldn't. For church pipes, by all means, have 30 or 32 pedals. If you want to enjoy the best of all the world... I love my 13 pedal organ!
Fraser, I am very pleased that you are getting on well with Hauptwerk, I've been using it since 2003 and just love it. I look forward to seeing and hearing what you achieve with it, frankly if I can do it, I know you can much better.
Bravo Fraser, on doing such a great job of putting this together. Unlike your organ, I only have two manuals, but have bought 4-manual samplesets. Not sure how to program 4 into 2.... all quite a learning experience!! Looking forward to hearing lots of organ music!!🌺😊💕🎶✨
Wow!!! Very nicely done. I am curious, where did you get the manuals from (i.e. manufacturer)? I've never seen any like that and I'd like to look into them... it sounds like your new setup is working very well for you. I have heard a lot of good things about Hauptwerk, but I only have a single keyboard at the moment and due to cost, it's still a ways in the future for me, so I am living vicariously through your demonstrations and playing! Nice work. It's great to see something come together and provide joy and happiness!
Nice and unique performance! I like very much cinema organs, I use this free sampleset too. In the future I have to learn to improvise in this style. To play in a cinema (theather) organ is a special feeling! Greeting from Romania, from the Transsylvania region (here live a lot of hungarian nationality people in minority - as I). Laci
Great idea to use a 4th keyboard as the presets! pistons are not often able to be installed under the keyboards. Another ideaL use 88 note keyboards and use the keys beyond the 61 notes as presets. But the keyboards are huge. Again: avoids the matter of the pistons and the costly stops!
The 88 key keyboard is a good idea. The only issue is most 88 key keyboards have a piano type touch (weighted keys). If you can find an 88 key with an organ type touch “tracker touch” then it is better.
I use a cheap MIDI command Behringer FCB1010, you get 10 pedals to change combinations, and 2 pedals for Expression or Crescendo 😊 ! I imitated some players who used it !
You gave me an idea when you were using your 4th KB to control things. You were emulating a 3 KB organ and using the 4th KB for organ controls. I have a set up with 2 keyboards and pedalboard. I bought a small, mini-key (about 70% full sized) 25 note midi KB. I defined the stops on that 25 key KB. 8 stops for the G.O. (C thru G). 8 stops for the Sw (G# thru D#). etc…
Is the 3(+1) midi keyboard a commercial product ? Can I ask the name or a link for its existence ? Thank you for marvelously showing Hauptwerk. I like the samples and the music between 9:25-11:52 - it is so hard to find a list of mellow organ music like this, and with this type of registration. In my family many have been organists. Greetings from Norway
You are listening through headphones. Where does the sound that we hear come from? And how do those compare to the sound that you would hear from speakers in your room? Which gives the best sound?
I can answer you, because I have to learn all that to record some pieces for my YT channel. The sound that you hear here is the sound directly recorded by Hauptwerk, in .wav format. If you want to hear your organ sample through speakers, it is simple : you connect, for example, a 3.1 system, to your computer, and through your operating system you activate it (often automatically recognized). But the sound will be a bit different, because it will not be properly EQUALIZED, you'll need an equalizer between your speakers system and your computer to find the good sound like from your headphones. And to find the original power of an real organ like you get from you headphones, you'll need some power ! Anyway, USE FIRST VERY GOOD headphones, with a FLAT frequencies response (no "super bass" !), 200€ is a good price (minimum). Through good headphones, sound is perfect, through a speaker system it can be fastly expensive, it depends on the power you need or you can use according to your situation (neighbours ?), but DO NOT USE a Hifi system ! Speakers system may need an interface to connet to your PC (unlike 3.1 systems made for PC connection), originally they are made for acoustic instruments and to be connected to a mixing desk, not to a PC. Anyway, you need good bass to reproduce sound organ depth, and good quality speakers. That's why many people mainly use headphones : simple, perfect sound, discreet, not expensive, and use a 3.1 system just for some times. Greetings from France.
Ja ja - made in Germany you know! (I've been a BD fan for a long time. Their headphones are very very good indeed - perfect for mixing and mastering organ music by the way!)
One organ that you should try to get is the Caen St. Etienne by Sonus Paradisi. It's a Cavaillé-Coll beauty and sounds just awesome. The 32' Contrebombarde just shakes your head 😂
Mighty it is, user friendly it isn't . I got it installed and running rather quickly with a motley assortment of keyboards mapped to the manuals. Then I thought, surely there's a reverb knob? No. But there's some kind of heinous 24 channel mixer window, and apparently somewhere in there, is buried a reverb. I think I'd rather stick with Kontakt for playing organs, thanks so much.
BTW: Excuse this dumb question but, does the Hauptwerk company/factory make complete, bespoke organs (consoles, pedal boards) for churches, like Allen, Rodgers and Johannus, etc.?
Nope, just the software. They used to (or may even still) endorse a few hardware manufacturers via their website, but they themselves just take care of the software side of things.
@@Engineer9736 You could try Romsey Organs, who make bespoke HWK consoles to almost any specification, including some rather nice "moderner" consoles ideal for home use.

Hi. my digital organ is broken and Im not sure if can be fixed so Im looking for some replaceiment like Hauptwerk can you tell me where could I get the program/s and keyboard +pedalboard set?
Hope you manage to find a solution. Many 61 note keyboards have a midi output and could use those and turn the keyboard volume down. But I believe a sole midi keyboard is called a midi controller and if a home handyman could build a stack to hold the keyboards. Now for pedal board there is one midi pedal board kit made in Italy in any standard pedalboard type. Easily found on the internet with video of how to assemble.However I have been offered an old pedalboard from a pipe organ which I am going to try and add midi components to it and plenty of videos showing how this done. There is a very good conversion kit.
The one thing you need to do better than me is ever finish the cosmetic part. As soon as I had everything functional I left it as is and just kept playing it...
Haha, same for me. My setup is on the attick. What you see in this video, is what I have (only 2 keyboards instead of 4). And I think I will leave the cosmetic part out, all the funds can go to good keyboards, extra RAM & sample sets :)
Congratulations! I hope you realise you've hit a peak danger point. Once you have a working system there is a great temptation to just play it as it is, and not complete the cosmetics!
Please...Picture a complete stranger (me) in your home. I stand up and give you a standing ovation for your accomplishment and talent! Saying simply "Good Job" just does not suffice. AMAZING!!! I am jealous.

Looking forward to "The Bells of St. Anne de Beaupré", Fraser. Thank you for sharing your lovely sounding virtual pipe organ.
Sounds great if my bank didn't charge me $2 fee for international transaction I'd help plus money is tight., HOWEVER this sounds Great!
Congratulations! I hope you realise you've hit a peak danger point. Once you have a working system there is a great temptation to just play it as it is, and not complete the cosmetics!
