Thank you Alun. I intend to post more hymns and also the occasional non hymn. I haven't recorded anything yet that really shows how good my St. Anne's organ sounds, I might do in the next few weeks, but it may upset the purists ;-)
@@Goodchappy Fantastic news. I look forward to listening to it. Over the years I have listened continuously to your hymn playing and always enjoyed it. Take care.
Thank you!! A beautiful hymn (and appropriate that the tune should be played on an instrument based on one from a church with the same name). Wonderful playing, phrasing, and presentation! Would love to learn more about the steps you have taken in customization to yield such a warm and immersive sound.
Thank you Jerry. It's difficult to list everything I have done to improve the St. Anne's organ and I am forever tweaking the settings. I moved each "pipe" so that there is more stereo separation but also I've turned up the wind turbulence and wind sensitivity of the pipes for amplitude and tuning and increased the high frequency of many of the pipes so they speak better. I find the default settings very very dull indeed. I've also created some 32ft pedal stops using the 16 foot samples by winding them down a octave. With most or all of the stops out, the organ can actually start to run out of "wind" which in my opinion helps with the realism. Many real organs of that sort will never be in perfect tune or voiced perfectly but that is why I prefer them to large cathedral size organs that receive more TLC.
@@Goodchappy Bravo - outstanding. In order to do the 32ft work sounds like you had to noodle around in the configuration file or create an ODF? Either way - well done - this kind of attention to detail is akin to voicing a "real" organ and really has paid off here. I have spent some time downstream in HW's new reverb system, but I agree that you have created something so much more "alive" here - just great!!
@@jerrymartin79 Hi Jerry, having listened to some of your recent uploads today, your comments on this upload mean even more than I realised. I loaded the default St. Annes organ today, I forgot how it sounded, I'm very pleased with how my main configuration sounds but daren't upgrade to HW VI, I'm still at HW 4 !
This is one of my all time favorite hymns. Thank you!!
Thanks for playing it in the right key, handsome. I can belt it out on the tenor horn and the Euph with the stereo turned up!
Thank you. Beautifully played!!
Very well played, nicely presented, and most timely!
Thank you great to see you again. I love your playing of hymns. I wished my St Anne sounded as good as yours does!! Please post more. Take care.
