INTRODUCTION
Based on the same samples of our best selling organ library Italian Concert Organ, sampled at 48KHz 24-bit with the superb compression at only 250MB, offering 16 ready-to-use of the most typical organ sounds chosen for us by expert Italian organ players and with an extremely user friendly GUI, Pipe Festival 2 easily become the best pipe organ for Kontakt in this price range.

PIPE FESTIVAL 2 (2017) vs PIPE FESTIVAL 1 (2013)
It's the evolution of the previous Pipe Festival library for different aspects: each library offers an Italian organ sound, but Pipe Festival 2 offers the most authentic sound of a larger and modern organ, not only for the sample quality, but also for the environment simulation, the stereo field and the tiny size, typical of all the new Hephaestus Sounds libraries.

EASY. FAST. GREAT-SOUNDING.
Pipe Festival 2 basically has been developed for all the users who don't know the pipe organ or how to play it at the best, especially with a common MIDI keyboard. So, here you have a ready-to-use sound switchable by dedicated key-switches.

THE "YOUNGER BROTHER" OF ITALIAN CONCERT ORGAN
Do you think Italian Concert Organ is too difficult? Don't worry. Pipe Festival 2 solves your problem.
Do you like Italian Concert Organ sound but you cannot afford it? Don't worry. Pipe Festival 2 has obviously less functions and sounds, but it offers a similar sound quality of Italian Concert Organ using many of its samples.

FEATURES
* 48KHz 24-bit Stereo sample resolution;
* Samples from our top organ library Italian Concert Organ;
* 16 ready-to-play and typically used organ sounds chosen with the great help of some talented Italian organ players;
* Player/Spectator button. Do you like listen to the organ from the player position or from the church pews?
* Theatre/Cathedral reverb button. Just switches between 2 different high quality IR samples;
* Modulation controller adjusts the volume (MIDI CC 1);
* Support for expression pedal (MIDI CC 11);
* GUI developed by Divergent Audio Group;
* For live playing, a 61-keys-keyboard (or bigger) is suggested; 76 and 88 keys are probably the best solutions;
* Compressed total library size: only 250MB. I think it's small enough;
* Works on Kontakt v5.2.1 or newer (it works for 15 minutes only on Kontakt Player!).

Library updated to version 1.4 and now available on Kontakt Hub.

Hi, does anyone using this? It is very attractive for me.
This seems to be a function limitation version of ITALIAN CONCERT ORGAN 2.

I liked the sound of ITALIAN CONCERT ORGAN. Demo sounds are quite my favorite.
Fine sound making seems impossible, but It is enough for me if this has the similar sound.

Now, I have a question.
This seems to be able to switch two IR Reverbs.
In addition, is it possible to bypass the IR reverbs?

I always use sample library in dry.
Sorry for my poor English.

Hi,
FX bypass is possible on Italian Concert Organ only, but not in Pipe Festival 2. However, you can still edit the instrument by turning off Convolution reverb on Pipe Festival 2 into the "Insert" rack.

Thank you for answering. OK. I understood.
It is impossible to bypass the IR by the lower right switches.
But, I can bypass the IR in "Edit Mode" of KONTAKT.
(Clicking the upper left "wrench icon", then bypass the insert effect.)
If so, there is no big problem. I would buy.

Almost correct!
- Open the instrument
- Click on the "wrench icon" button
- Expand the "InsertEffect" rack
- Disable the Convolution effect of the 6th slot from the left (the one at the right of the Stereo processor)

I bought this and playing it now. :harp:
The sound is clear and clean. And the high frequency is beautifully twinkling even if it is a lower note. :love:
I felt that there is no turbidity in the low frequency and middle frequency.
In addition, the release is short, so if I play a fast phrase in the lower note range, the sound will not become muddy and messy.

I think that it is easy to use sound without seasoning.
Thanks for the great product. I will use it in the next song. :tu:

Oops! Took a wrong turn and came here looking for a different kind of 'pipe festival' – highland pipes, you see… ;-)

If it were easy, anybody could do it!

Hi, I decided to use this library for live performance on the session bar. :band:

For that, I would like to turn off the sound selection key above A5.
If there is a sound selection switch on the keyboard, I may misoperate at the performance. :dog:

I know that I can disable A5 and above keys if I place a MIDI Filter before KONTAKT.
However, if I can do this in KONTAKT, it will be more convenient.
Sorry for my poor English.
