For enthusiasts, we have created a new sample set using sample material from several of our Samplesets, featuring 60 stops distributed across 4 manuals and a pedal.

If you own the Bätz Zeist, Lohman Heusden, and Pels & Van Leeuwen Heusden sets, this set is free. Otherwise, you will need to purchase the missing set(s).

The following organs were used for this sample set:

Bätz Zeist
Lohman Heusden
Steendam Apeldoorn
Ottes Móstoles (Madrid)
Pels & van Leeuwen Heusden



Note: If you do not load the 4th manual, you can use the Composition organ without the Pels & Van Leeuwen organ.

For technical information, please refer to the pages of the various organs used:




About the recordings


Three channel technology
compositie-01.png
Sliders on the tab "speeltafel" (virtual console)

All used samples are recorded in stereo from 3 positions (24-bit 96kHz).
As one of the final steps, the samples are converted to 24-bit 48kHz.
The set is delivered in the 3-channel technique devised by Sygsoft, allowing the user to adjust the listening position themselves.
There are 3 positions:
1: Front, recorded very close to the organ. This provides a very direct recording that is useful for study purposes.
2: Middle, this recording was made at about 3 times the distance used in the front recording.
3: Rear, recorded far from the organ is used as surround.
Through three sliders (0-100%), a mix can be made of the three positions that is to your liking.
More information see: tab System requirements.

Note: Please mention on the order form in ‘comments’ that you would like to receive the Sygsoft Composition Organ with your purchase.



General
Installing a sampleset

Important: Download the latest licensing packages file https://www.hauptwerk.com/licensingpackages/
Start Hauptwerk V (or higher) and install this file via the menu File | Install Organ, Temperament, or Impulse Response Reverb... Hauptwerk will 'learn' which protected sets are currently on the market.

For users of Hauptwerk 5 or higher:
1. Make sure that Hauptwerk is not loaded.
2. Open your iLok account and choose 'Licenses/Redeem Activation code',
cut and paste the many-digit code into the screen.
3. Activate your license to 'iLok Cloud' or to the 'iLok dongle'.
Insert the dongle into the Hauptwerk PC (if it is not already connected to it).

Detailed explanation point 3: (It turns out this is not clear to everyone)

  • 3a: Go to your iLok account (log in if necessary), select the sampleset for which you want to enter the activation code.
  • 3b: At the top right of the iLok screen is a gray/green check mark.
    If you go over this with the mouse you will see the text 'Activate licenses'.
    Click on this check mark and you will see a new screen.
  • 3c: Click on 'Activate' and 'Ok'. Now the checkmark in the previous screen turns green.
  • 3d: Now double-click on the sampleset you bought, the screen that opens must show "License status active" on the top line.
  • 3e: If necessary, repeat the above for the eventualy other newly purchased organs.

4. Restart Hauptwerk and you can install and use the organ.

Before download and install, note the following:
1. Download all .CompPkg.Hauptwerk files.
2. Leave these files in the same folder and
3. Do not change the file names and
4. Do not unpack by hand.
5. Check the MD5 checksums with the WinMD5 program, free to download from
http://www.winmd5.com or http://www.fastsum.com
If a checksum is incorrect, discard the wrong download file from the PC and download that file again.
6. Start Hauptwerk (File/Install organ....), select in the folder where you just downloaded the files,
the file with extension .CompPkg_Hauptwerk_rar in Hauptwerk's 'component installer'.
Hauptwerk automatically finds the other files.
7. If you get error messages, scroll to the end of the log file (this opens automatically if something goes wrong when unpacking) to see what goes wrong.
Usually a file is missing, or there is a file in the wrong folder or a file is damaged.
8. Before loading the sampleset, check the system information regarding the expected memory usage etc.

Note: Please contact us via the Contact form if you encounter any issues; we will try to assist you.

System requirements
of
the Sygsoft Composition Organ


The computer

To play the full version of this sample set without restrictions requires a modern, fast computer with, for example, Windows 10 64 bit installed and around 32 GB of RAM.
Obviously Hauptwerk must also be installed with the latest version 5 (or higher) Advanced.
It is said that the best results are achieved using Apple-MacIntosh computers; however, we have no experience with this.
It is difficult to make exact statements about what is needed. The "mother" website
hauptwerk.com provides much information about this issue. Prerequisites .

The sound card

A good internal or external sound card. For more information go to: hauptwerk.com .

Manuals/keyboards/pedal òr complete organ with MIDI out

3 or 4 manuals or keyboards and a (at least 25 keys) pedal òr a complete electronic organ with MIDI out.
Beautiful consoles specifically designed for Hauptwerk are commercially available.
In the Netherlands these are available through, for example,

Those who are technically inclined can provide their keyboard with MIDI capability using hardware from, for example, MIDI-Hardware.com or MGB . We ourselves have done this using a Heyligers organ dating from around 1975 (using WIRA hardware). The conversion was about 300 Euro and everything has worked perfectly for years.

Speakers/headphone

The superb sound quality of Hauptwerk is best experienced through high-quality headphones, such as AKG or Sennheiser.
We prefer connecting the sound card to a (possibly multi-channel) sound system. The above mentioned companies can also advise you on any purchases in this area.
What you definitely should not do is listen to Hauptwerk through the built-in speakers of the monitor or a set of €10 computer speakers!
