Modartt Organteq 2 is here!

[BBFG#]

Too bad they didn't run one of their 30% off the full version sales here. I probably still couldn't afford that, but I think it would make me find a way!

^ I can feel some future Organteq 'Instrument Packs' coming somewhere down the road.

...Which personally, I'm okay with. So long as they sound great!

They would just need to develop a variable breath model for Organteq.
Unlike pipe organs, the air pressure exciting the reeds in accordions, harmoniums, pump organs, and harmonicas varies greatly as the instrument is played.

but the same apply for tremulants

Yeah I don't think that would be a problem at all.

Hauptwerk does this. It has a wind supply and turbulence model that affects the tuning. I think they are also doing something with filtering as part of this to change how the pipes speak slightly. Of course, they are working with samples, not physical modeling.

They also do a slight random detuning of each pipe when the instrument is started, reflecting how a real organ changes from day to day, depending on environmental conditions. Does anyone know if Organteq does this as well?

Organteq (version 1) has a per-note detuning setting panel. It will be the same detuning for each use, as far as I know. I think there's a detuning randomization command, but it's been a while (and I don't have the doc at hand). In any case, it doesn't change detuning without you at least asking.

I'd like to see them expand beyond pip organs to other reed organs that could use the same aero-acoustic and pipe resonance modeling:

Accordion
Harmonium
Pump organ
Harmonica

That would instantly increase the use cases and customer base for Organteq.

You are completely right. The name Harmonium came after Orgue Expressif at the beginings of XIXth century. That invention gained much attention from major composers of that time, since pipe organs lack the expression capabilities they sought after. In fact i think virtual pipe organs should include an optional system to control air pressure while avoiding the pitch fluctuations that make it unfeasible in the real plane (nevertheless in the virtual plane parameters can be altered in real time in order to neutralize those fluctuations). This way we would be able to enjoy a XXIth century Orgue Expressif, at least in the virtual plane.

nice!

Organteq has been updated to version 2.1.
They've added 7 new stops, revoiced the French Romantic presets (again), and added a bunch of historical organs. It's once again free for registered users.

Nice!!

I didn't yet bite on Organteq. For me the free Aeolus still does the trick.

Pianoteq is my one-stop for acoustic string instruments, though (piano, classical guitar, harp, clavichord, harpsichord)

Sounds good, thanks for pointing it out, hadn't heard of this one
