2nd: A good soundcard in or outside the computer. A good choice also recomanded by Martin Dyde is the M-Audio Audiophile 2496. This card makes the MIDI-connection from console to computer. You can also first try the built-in card of your computer.
3rd: An electronic organ keyboard with MIDI output.
Also available are very beautiful consoles "beautiful" prices. If you are a "handyman" then you can use the hardware of e.g. WIRA to expand your obsolete console with MIDI output.
4th: A very good way to listen to your favorite organ in Hauptwerk is the use of a headphone e.g. AKG or Sennheiser. We prefer the use of a stereo-equipment connected to your computer. Do not listen to Hauptwerk with a set of 10 GBP computer-speakers.!
