I have been using this sample set ever since. Peter Grabowski made it available. It is a wonderful sample set. However, I think I prefer the Giubiasco sample set, which is also free. It is much smaller and has fewer resources, but it seems clearer and easier to practice on. I do love them both. Thank you for this video.
Paul, I’ve watched you since you were much younger. You are an absolute star. One thing I’ve wondered is about the pedals. Some times you were socks others shoes. I thought you wear socks when playing an antique to save wear on the pedals. But then I see you playing modern organs in shoes. What is your reasoning I so love how far you have come. ❤️
I really like this organ, I use that quite a bit of GrandOrgue. You can still get the best use out of it with only one keyboard like I do. I also laughed when you said "Die Posaune Sechzehn as we say in Germany" And is Kassel Niederzwehren coming soon, as I originally recommended it
I delayed my work in my own shop this morning so I could watch this video. It was well worth the wait. I enjoyed this very much. Thank You so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
I do love it when I see someone young pedaling in socks. I did that often when I was young if it was a matter of convenience at the moment. But both of my teachers raged against it. So while organ shoes have been standard for me for decades now, on some older instruments I just feel the need to go with socks so I can really feel more of what’s happening in the machine.
There are several advantages and problems to use only socks when pedalling. Sensibility is improved when touch the keys with toe but there are problems when use the heels. Another problem it is the insertion of sharp key between the 1st toe finger ( alluce) and 2nd into fast passageses. Into my home study i use shoes with romantic authors and winter season😂
@@vittoriobacchiega9118 Yup yup 😂 For Bachs music playing without shoes is totally fine, you are using the toes most of the time anyway. The more romantic it gets the more important the shoes get 😀
Guten Tag, lieber Paul. Ich sende Dir schöne Grüße aus Görlitz. Danke für die Präsentation dieser schönen Orgel. Der neue Stil, dass Du alles persönlich erklärst, gefällt mir gut und auch Dein Spiel. Besonders das volle Organ/Tutti. Wenn du wieder an einer Originalorgel sitzt, ist das auch echt super. Ich wüsche Dir gutes Gelingen bei all Deinen Vorhaben. Dein Steffen S.
Your demonstration is excellent !!!! You spend more time with each voice, which allows the listener to sabor, relish, the personality, the "world" of each Stop. The melodic and harmonic patterns you chose for each voice were so appropriate for the specific Stop. Exploring, discovering, the great diversity of Organs throughout Europe has been an exciting new experience. Please, bring us more of these wonderful explorations. I enjoyed this one very much !!!!
..I love the fact he's playing in sock feet. A good friend of mine decades ago did the same. WIsh I could afford the Hauptwerk programme and the console interface. I really miss playing.
Thank you so much!! 😀 If you just want to start again, a normal midi-capable (piano-)keyboard will do! If you want to go the free way use the GrandOrgue software and you are good to go 😀 Thats how I started all of this too 😀
Hi Paul in this video I really got to know you a little bit better. I must say that I do enjoy your ability and presentation on the organ extremely. Its just great to see you playing and listening to your musical talent. Keep it up my friend. I am a great fan of you here in Pretoria South Africa. Best regards Maarten Buma
@@PaulFey Stimmt natürlich, aber zu einer richtigen Orgel gehört auch ein Pedal. Und dies spielst du hervorragend. Ich mach meine Musik vorwiegend mit MIDI. Daher würde ich dich um einen Link bitten, wo man dieses Set kostenlos herunter laden kann. Ostern ist nah: freu mich schon auf dein österliches Orgelspiel. Alles Gute!
I haven't seen any videos on how Hauptwerk and other software are recorded. How limiting is memory and number of keyboards on what software can be used? For instance, Mr. McVeigh has a huge setup. Would like to see you do a video about this. I'm just curious. (Someone once commented on Barker Machines, so I looked that up). From Chicago, U.S.A.
A great presentation of this sample set. Obviously, the original organ is fantastic. I like your style of presentation where you give some oral commentary, and verbally introduce the various stop families of the organ. An informative and entertaining session. Thank you, Paul.
Friesach is a great instrument if you have a simple 2 manual setup and want something a bit more adventurous. The Solo stops can easily be pulled down onto Swell and Great using couplers and just used as extensions of these divisions. Fantastic tutti effect.
A couple of questions if you don't mind? What are the computer requirements for this free version on Grand Orgue -Eisenbarth. Reason I I ask is my laptop runs the two free Pitea and Demo V1 organs ok, but runs out of memory / disk speed I think for the Eisenbarth. Also, is it possible to rearrange the stops to 2 x 3 columns and how would I go about this? (so they are arranged more like the Pitea Console Stops). Kind regards, alex
Hi Alex, the Eisnbarth is free so why dont you just give it a try - thats better than guessing 😀 Rearranging the stops will most likely not work since they are set by the producer of the set. There is a left/right stop-view though I think!
Hi Paul. I really enjoyed this video. Very interesting and informative. I am going to try and download this sample set. I’ll need to get the cables for Midi in and out ? Then I’ll be very hopeful to see if it will be a plug and play. 🙏🙏. I’m a newbie to Hauptwerk and have only used it at my friends house on his organ. I’m currently not set up with a computer and touch screen monitor so hopefully the sample set will remain as a free download. Thank you Paul for a great video and I always enjoy hearing your wonderful music. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🤗🤗
Thank you so much for watching! Yup, just get a midi in/out to USB cable and connect it. The in/out channels on my Johannus are inverted (!) so you might have to switch them too - its trial and error 😀 Otherwise you should be good to go!
@@PaulFey hi Paul. I need to buy a computer to run the GrandOrgue program. My question to you is, could I use a laptop for this or do you think the touch screen would be too small. I’m sorry to bother you with such a silly question but I don’t want to buy a laptop to find it won’t do what I want it to do. Thank you so much for your input.
As usual, good playing. Are you recording this directly from the computer or, are you mic-ing the room and the speakers? I'm going to try out GrandOrgue but I'm really looking for some good theater pipe organ samples. Are you aware if any are available that you can recommend?
Hi Paul. I bought a Beelink mini with Windows 11 and a 22 inch touch screen. I downloaded the GrandOrgue program, hooked up to MIDI but no sound. Apparently my organ doesn’t support audio with mini unless I have additional hardware put in. I guess your Johannus had the built in capability to plug into by MIDI and get sound through your speakers ? Unfortunately I am unable. I can’t even get the keys to activate on GrandOrgue when I press keys on my organ console. 😢😢
My Organ doesnt play sound either. You‘ll have to plug in your headphones into your computer running the GrandOrgue software. When you‘ve loaded the sampleset you want to assign the manuals to just right-click the manual and there sound be an auto-assign option 😀 I hope this helps a bit at least!
Hi Paul, were you using GrandOrgue or HW to run the sample set in this video? Do you notice much difference in sound quality between HW and GrandOrgue? (I’m looking to invest some time over the summer in building a practise organ for myself at home - obviously GrandOrgue would be a massive cost saving - but if HW is really much better, I would consider the investment!
I have developed the opinion that more organs should have a stop, or combination of stops, that can credibly imitate the sound of a musette. Getting the articulation of the chanter will be difficult, but its basic tone quality and the tone quality of the drones should not be difficult.
LOL - So when you say free, does that mean you personally will deliver it to my house in Texas with a console and speakers, and then complete the installation for me?
Thanks for this! Can you share how you modify the sound of each stop(if any modifications are made). Your recorded sounds is way better than my recordings... Using HW 4.2.1
Hi Paul. So I downloaded a GrandOrgue but it isn’t a plug and play. I have connected everything but I’m getting now sound through my organ speakers. Any suggestions ?
@@PaulFey thank you Paul. I heard from the company that rebuilt my organ. They tell me I will need additional hardware to have the sound come through my organ speakers. I’ll try the headphones in the meantime
When I load Friesach, I get this warning: "Out of memory - only parts of the organ are loaded. Please reduce memory footprint via the sample loading settings." No idea what this means or how to fix it...
I discovered this magnificent sample set on Grand Orgue, and it is one of my favorites on that platform. I have Grand Orgue because I am not an organist but I love playing with the beautiful sounds of pipe organs. Grand Orgue is free, so it is possible to do this, whereas I could not justify the expense of Haupwerk (I am sure it is worth the money -- if you are an organist) for what is essentially a hobby. As you so brilliantly demonstrated in your video, the sound is spectacular and yet also has some tenderness and sweetness in addition to the powerful full organ. Your demos are really instructive and fun to hear. The Grand Orgue version is a little tricky to get loaded, (Piotr has detailed instructions on how to get it going on the website) and it is huge, so I have it cached (reduced load times dramatically). It is a free sample set, which is amazing for the brilliant quality of sound! Another Grand Orgue sample set that is spectacular is "Pitea School of Music" Love your videos and I think it is wonderful that you demo all these fine and beautiful instruments. Thank you so very much!

If I had a digital organ, I would try it right away. Beautifully presented. 😊
I do love it when I see someone young pedaling in socks. I did that often when I was young if it was a matter of convenience at the moment. But both of my teachers raged against it. So while organ shoes have been standard for me for decades now, on some older instruments I just feel the need to go with socks so I can really feel more of what’s happening in the machine.
I totally agree! At home it just feels more natural! 😀
Socks rule! 😀
Let your teachers rage (to themselves)! 😅
Down with shoes! 🤭
Gert van Hoef often wore his Nikes while playing. He now wears organ shoes. He hasn't given up jeans tho. From Chicago, U.S.A.

Also don't know if you will see this but it would be cool to see you play a meantone organ. I believe there is one in Germany, not sure where though.
Well done Paul! Thank you! 😃

Thank you so much for watching! 😀 I used this set on my 2 manual organ too - just put the Solo and Swell on one manual an it works very well! 😀
Wonderful, as always! For somebody who is just learning to play the organ on my own, your videos are incredibly helpful.

Thats not included in the contract 😜 But getting a used electrical organ is relatively easy, especially in the States I was told (even for free!).
@@PaulFey Yes, I’m just not electronically inclined enough to kill whatever crap sound is in it and then connect this.

This is wonderful! Where did you get the console?
My favorite sampleset that I have played so far! What are you using for your touchscreen?
Prima Präsentation
Danke 😀
Wunderbar vorgetragen und demonstriert.
I have just realised that my lack of decent pedal technique might be due not having any penguin socks
I strongly agree - the (penguin-) socks matter the most if you are trying to get a better pedal technique 😂🐧
@@PaulFey Definitely true 🐧.
Question: Where did you get that moniter from. Looking into a setup.
Wow! 😀

This is why I want an organ so bad.
