Hi! Right now i need a nice Organ, i recognized, there are some free ones
like these: http://zionorgan.com/samplesets/samplesets.htm
But they are "hbw"-Hauptwerk formated. Is there any possibility of "extracting" the wave files somewhere i can create custom Kontakt patches for my own personal use? Would this be legal? Since the are offered for Free. And if so, how would i do that.

I already have:
- The Garritan Concert Organ
- The Free Maestro Organ
- Jeux the Orgues 2

But it would be nice to have some more options...

I - dared to look at some comercial pricings which are really "evil"
like 600-1000$ (if you want something more that the 5-8 standart Stops)
i mean... organs are not really that difficult to record are they?
Shure you have to set up the micros, but after that: One single velocity layer + holding the note down 10-30 seconds. switching the manual -> next one. (Ore am i too optimistic about that? )

Bear in mind that I'm half asleep already and I probably missed the really important part of your post.

Iliadis makes fantastic VSTi Organs and very fair price. I think many Synths can make a good Organ sound too. No doubt the FREE Kore Player has some as well. A good VST will probably be better than a static Sample!

Off the top of my head: it would be worth looking at 'sonimusicae'. They have some great FREE Kontakt Instruments. Perhaps they have some good organs in their collection!

Apologies in advance if I totally missed the point of your post.

A House Organ from the above mentioned team. There may be more at that site!

Hi! Aloysius, thank you for the link, but i have this organ alredy (I named it the Maestro organ ^.-). So... synths. I'll take a look on Iliadis then.

Thanks! It wasn't that bad after all then!

This just popped up on another thread! It may interest you if you're still looking. 39 Euro (I think). Looks like a two handed beast!

Hey, thank you for that! But i was looking for a Church/Cathedral organ kind of sound but thanks for looking arround!

The Hauptwerk v3.3 demo download also functions are a freeware plugin, enabling you to use it with freeware Hauptwerk sampled organs

[edit]On this page you can see the difference between the 3 editions[/edit]

Ah! Thank You! Didn't know, there was a free Version of it avaiable! Already downloading

AH! May you could help me again.

After downloading it (370MB), i wanted to install it but i can't figure out,
WHAT i would have to do. After selecting the Folder for my instalations it keps asking me: "Insert Hauptwerkt ore Browse to it manually!". But i don't know what to do. I browsed to the Hauptwerk Installation .exe but i'm shure thats not what it wanted me to do.

Should there be something missing?

I already downloaded some free Organs (~2000MB) and now i'm really frustrated . Unfortunally I couldn't find the "help" pdf any helpfull.
So may you know what to do?

No idea what went wrong, it installed fine on my machine. It does need JAVA installed.
I have installed the plugin to D:\VstPlugins and the rest to G:\Hauptwerk.
There is 171MB installed to C:\Program Files\Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ.

When running Hauptwerk (stand-alone) the first time select "Free Edition".

When running Hauptwerk (plugin) the first time: MainMenu -> General Settings -> General Options -> Select "Free Edition" in last combo-box and reload the Hauptwerk VST.
