The Sygsoft Composition Organ

FREE
if you own the sample sets

Bätz Zeist, Lohman Heusden en Pels & van Leeuwen Heusden

For enthusiasts, we have created a new sample set using sample material from several of our sample sets, 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
Pels & van Leeuwen Heusden
Steendam Apeldoorn
Ottes Móstoles (Madrid)

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:

• Bätz Zeist
• Lohman Heusden
• Pels & van Leeuwen Heusden
• Steendam Apeldoorn
• Ottes Móstoles

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.

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 and cut and paste the many-digit code into the screen.
3. Activate your license to iLok Cloud or to the iLok dongle. In the latter case: then place the dongle on the Hauptwerk PC.
   It appears that this rule is not clear to everyone:
   • 3a: Go to your iLok account (log in if necessary) and select the sample set 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 line you are working on and 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. Load 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, throw the wrong download file away 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 organ, first have a look at the system information regarding the expected memory usage etc.
