The Van Eeken organ from the Hervormde kerk in Hoogblokland (NL)

€ 98,-

This tab shows the front of the organ and if you click on the photo you will see an old photo of the church.

This tab provides a simplified representation of the registers of this organ.
The buttons with the blue dot were added for Hauptwerk using samples from this organ.
The "Motor" button turns on the wind motor.
Note: This organ does not have a tremulant on the Hoofdwerk, but through some "truckage" we were able to create a (recorded) tremulant on this work.

The 3 sliders at the top center can be used to adjust the volume of the various channels, which broadly determines your listening position. A good starting point is Front-Middle-Rear b.v. 25-60-100

Most elements of this tab do not actually need to be visible, but for those interested it still provides a a bit of an impression of what needs to be done to get a sample set of this size working.
Consider that behind each (manual) button there are 56 long, 56 long release, 56 medium release and 56 short release samples. The same applies to the pedal, but always 30 pieces.

It is also useful to know that if you right-click on a switch you can immediately access the correct voicing screen.

In the "Overig" column you will find a number of buttons:

With the button "Trigger sound" you can choose whether or not you want to hear the sounds of the register pullers.
With the button "Key sound" you can choose whether or not you want to hear the sounds of the keys.

With the help of this tab we wanted to achieve the most accurate possible representation of the original van Eeken organ for the Puritans among us.
What is not originally shown is the range of the keyboards: the highest 2 keys of the manuals and the highest 3 of the pedal are not present on the real organ. The layout of the register pulls is the same as the real organ.
All additional voices, couples and the tremulant of the main work are missing here.
The lowest 7 pipes of Prestant 8' are made of oak (the rest are made of metal) and can also be heard here. If you use the Prestant 8' via the Advanced tab, the lowest 7 pipes are made of metal through artificial means and therefore fit better into the whole.
Because these 2 Prestants may not sound at the same time, the Prestant of this tab disables the Prestant on the Extended tab and vice versa.

If you turn the mouse wheel with the mouse pointer on the sheet music, you can choose from 18 different music books. A vertical movement with a finger also works. This is of no further use.
The engine switch is actually located in a different location. If you decide to only use this organ in the original version, a number of voices may be omitted when loading, these are: 1st: All tremulant voices of the Great Work. 2nd: 02-Prestant8 in its entirety.
3rd: 01-Bourdon16 in its entirety.
4th: 10-Roerfuit4 in its entirety.
5th: 05-Quint3 in its entirety.
6th: 23-VoxCeleste8 in its entirety.
7th: 27-Terts135 (1 3/5') overall.
8th: 42-Gedekt8 in its entirety.
9th: 43-Octaaf4 in its entirety.
10th: 44-Basson16 in its entirety.
This means that the organ will take up considerably less RAM on your computer.

On this tab a schematic representation of the wind supply of this organ.
With the various sliders you can regulate the supply of wind for the bellows and the various wind drawers.
With the "R" or reset buttons you can return to the settings that we think suit you best. With the "Reset All" button at the bottom right you can reset all 7 sliders at once.

Important:
Should you decide not to load parts of this sample set (e.g. your computer RAM memory is too small and you choose to omit all "Middle" samples or you only use the original samples) then the wind consumption is significantly reduced and the organ becomes much less sensitive to wind than it actually is.
In that case, go to Organ settings/Organ prereferences/Wind supply model and choose a value significantly higher than 100%. We cannot provide a guideline for this given the many possibilities. Obviously, you can choose any value if you don't like the organ's behavior. With the check mark on this same Wind supply model tab you can completely disable the wind supply.
