Thank you, Richard, for the whistle stop tour of your set-up! As I'm not an organist, I'm always amazed at how you manage all the stops and sound controls. It was great to see how you deal with technology and make it all work together to produce such great music. Thanks!
I printed out scores in large enough size for easy reading and taped all the pages together in succession for playing things without a page turner assist. I can unfold the pages and slide them across the lectern if necessary. I know them from memory but like to have easy to see visual reference when performing all the pieces in most maxed our way when asked in short notice to go play somewhere. I just stick that in my case. Then for hymns, counting verses is an art form. Sometimes they just do first and last or someone keeps singing after the full count. So for any over runs, I have intros and transition exit phrases worked out for before and after the verses for smooth playing along as accompaniment.
I love your setup. I have a similar setup with Pioneer 15" subwoofer, 8" midrange and tweeter, but I also have another set of tower speakers inside the console that I will hook up to my amp's Speaker B connection. Hope that will give it some depth. Thanks for sharing.
Regret you do not have the largest organ of Holland and one of the oldest situated in the city of Zwolle. The sound is in one word out of this world......My father use to play on that organ for the Dutch radio. Enjoy your videos . Thank you for that.
Thanks for sharing your behind the scenes. A highly optimized setup indeed. I really love how you have set up your speaker pairs to maximize immersion. I may need to shopping! Very helpful!!!
The sample set that I enjoy the most is the Doesburg, Martinikerk - Walcker organ. I particularly like the piano pedal. The tremulants are also excellent. I enjoyed your video I did see the Rotterdam organ a year and a half ago when I was in the Netherlands.
I"m looking forward to hearing about your streaming setup. We're working on putting together a streaming setup for our local AGO Chapter. BTW, I would highly recommend getting the iLok dongle so you don't have to worry about connecting to the Internet for licensing. You didn't mention your power-on procedure...When I was building my Hauptwerk console (it's a converted Moller pipe organ console), my friend that was helping me realized that a PC power switch is really nothing more than a momentary switch so we extended that via a pair of wires to a button that's on my console. Then, I used a power sensing power strip that uses the PC as it's trigger to power the console electronics and amps. That combined with iLok and hardware stop controls means that I can start-up, play, and shutdown with only one button.
Cheers Mark - switching on is done in the old fashioned way of booting up the computer, logging on and then firing up Hauptwerk. When I get my next organ console, a requirement will be an on/off switch :)
The toe pistons on the left are Generals and the ones on the right are couples. I haven't worked out how to stop them from changing those things locally on the console. The black toe piston (spoken about in detail in my other videos) works remarkably well. It's big and well located so I never miss it :)
Thanks Richard! Could you make and post a live microphone recording of your room speakers and go into the detail of their brand and how you chose them? Thanks, Doug
I love this type of video Richard seeing & hearing your organ set up. I always think the weak spot for any musician is the actual page turning, it seems you need a very long, when its made, iPad type screen, or 3 joined, perhaps one will be produced some day!!! I presume you have to scan the music into the iPad from a hard copy in the 1st place or is there another way? I was glad to see Nala making an appearance here!
Thank you Richard. Love all the tech stuff - no 1TB Mac yet though? Dream on. Window open? Aha ... let a cool draft in .... let the glorious music OUT into the world outside. Oh, I wonder whether Uncle Maurice has picked up the significance why you made me smile when pointing out the mysterious "T" piston and what it's used for ... I wonder whether he thought too ... yes ... Turn Off? .... YES ... A TURN OFF "T" for Trevor Piston (LOL LOL). Anyhow, thank you so much ... fascinating stuff. Tx
Richard, thank you for this video, these help me better understand how everything is connected together. I take it the launchpads connect to the PC via USB. You mentioned the palaver you have regarding your licences. I have my new HW V licence on an iLok dongle, would that not be an easier way? I Look forward to more such videos as a valued addition to your superb music videos.
I am curious too. I'm sure Richard is fully aware of 'Cloud vs Dongle' so perhaps he has a good and valid reason not to Donglize. Maybe Richard, you could elucidate?
Thanks for showing your setup to us! At 15:45 I'm sure that it is supposed to be Freib'E'rg instead of FreibUrg... it's only one letter, but approximately 600 km apart ;-)
Have you ever considered removing the stop panels and installing touch screens? I believe Hauptwerk is set up to handle that. I have never upgraded from Hauptwerk 3 on the organ I salvaged and made into a Midi machine, but that edition could do it. The advantage is that you would have all the stops correctly named for every organ
I've used touch screens before, many times. I've decided that my own console will always be physical stops. I'm a traditionalist, and I'll make do for now until I upgrade my console to something bigger.
Thanks Richard for the vid, your setup is impressive, I listen mainly through Bose computer speakers however if I connect you to my stereo I can listen through Bose 901 speakers which are no longer made by Bose.
Thank you for this Video Richard. Very clearly explained and very useful. What no Sub or did you not mention it? I was curious about the use of the former Tutti button and I can see why you use it for that as for me it is of very little use from one sample set to another because the subtle changes from one set of stops to another simply doesn't marry up to Tutti matching several instruments. However, apologies but I did not actually think of Uncle Trevor Orme at that moment. With regard to the games foot pedal you use for the forward stepper - that opened a new world for me and thank you again for that. However, recently mine randomly began to occasionally step two clicks forward which was more that a little annoying. I fiddled around and reprogrammed the foot pedal with the software that came with it, so that it signal was set to a release click rather than a press click and so far I have not had any double clicks. it was not because it was set to repeat mode either so I guess just a bouncy pedal or I own a dodgy foot. I have experienced double screen stop jams and I must say I prefer the physical contact one gets with tabs or stops, (for me, so much easier touch-wise for those lightening speed stop alterations) so If I had the inclination (or the money-which is sadly a VERY large part of the consideration) I would opt for a larger motorized stop console if I was ever to upgrade. However the consoles get bigger and bigger for home use and anyway as I can't play as well as you, you annoyingly accurate person you, I can not really justify the cost of such a large organ. I would also point out that one does not have to consider the natural light sources (or interferences) from within your room which can affect the clarity of vision on a screen if the console/screens are not in the most favourable position for that particular window that just happens to be in that wall over there etc. Some sample sets offer a very clear 'ON' by illumination of the stop on screen, however, with some other sample sets this is sometimes not that good a light contrast and this can be annoying when taking in visual information about which stop is selected at a momentary glance. One doesn't have that issue with stops /tabs. Best wishes to you and Caroline, Maurice
I would find a local trophy shop that has a laser engraver - they could make your TAGS in plastic with nice bold lettering - either reversed, regular or both for best visability. I could make for you, maybe I'll look into postage costs.
*128 GB. of RAM on that HP?!* Are you thinking for the future when the sample set for the Midmer-Losh at Atlantic City comes out?🤣 Man, you shouldn't run out of memory anytime soon.😉 (Using a Motu Micro-lite 5x5 USB connected MIDI interface on my Macbook Pro with 16 GB. and it works great, and would allow me to expand for 4 manuals and a pedal board if I ever got that far.) Still using Ver. 4 something of Hauptwerk so I can play the nice free sample sets from Piotr Grabowski! Sucks being on Social Security, but it works for me. Luckily I have a good receiver/amp with digital audio inputs, and some good speakers scattered around the house for decent sound! Really like your current setup and it sounds great!😁👍 *EDIT:* IMHO, the Freisach is still one of my favorite organs! I got the extended version that adds several more stops and an extra 32' & 16' Posaune, and an 8' Trompete to the pedals.😉
Richard, where did you get the prints of the pipework and cases on the wall? They are great, may have to copy the idea. I have had a blank wall above mine for 10yrs now.
@@beautyinsound I also never tried it. But I think there are many thinks you can do with IR like different Reverb Dephts for different Divisions etc. I only have a Stereo Setup, so im playing just Wet Sets all the Time.

Wine rack, huh? A 2'Claret and a 8' Chardonnay me thinks, all En Chamade! McVeigh, I never see you use your toe pistons and I'm always confused why so many of your division pistons are lit up when you're performing. Does your hauptwerk also have a home or main organ that corresponds to the actual console?
I would certainly look at going for the I Lok dongle rather than Cloud. It means you are not then reeling on the internet. I would also suggest you investigate using touch screens. Have a look or get in touch with Douglas Hemn-Macrae (DHMidi-Organs) I found him very helpful and he's not to far from you.
As a long time HW user keeping the dongle was a natural progression for me. I am making the best of both words. The main advantage of cloud is the licenses are “safe” (I always feared dongle loss before). However I went “all in” - I use the dongle from iLok and have purchased their insurance (Zero Downtime Protection) for peace of mind.
I've been using a touchscreen. It is huge and unreliable and there is room for a Launchpad on my music rest. The Launchpad website shows models different from yours. Are your Launchpads Mk2 version? Thanks for the tour, most helpful!
@@stefans9580 then you definitely ought to have a sub-woofer to cover those bottom frequencies. I think Richard gets by without the sub because he feeds the signal directly from computer to broadcast. He probably accepts the few lowest notes are missing since most of the other Pedal notes are heard in his Dining Room? I would consider it reasonable to do this in such a small room as well as the need to focus funds to other equipment.
Somewhere you mention about increasing the volume of 32' reed sample in your system. With such small speakers you must be missing most of the below 50 Hz content anyway, as there is no sign of subwoofer(s). I listen a fairly large monitoring system with PMC IB2s main monitors and Genelec 7071A 2x12" subwoofer, also connected to my laptop right now via a Prism Orpheus converter. In this room they go flat and powerful down to 16 Hz at full monitoring volume of 105 dB SPL. Anyway, fortunately we hear the real signal from the console, but I am worried about you...
The launchpad is just a controller for the computer running Hauptwerk - the organ software that generates the sounds. In itself it's just a set of switches. The sounds all come from the computer in the cabinet. A good-spec laptop can run Hauptwerk (that's what Richard had for a while) and be controlled by any midi-keyboard, so the most basic Hauptwerk setup is a laptop connected to your digital piano - a midi-to-usb cable from the piano to the computer to tell the computer what notes to play, then an audio cable from the computer to either an amplifier and speakers, or if your piano has an aux-in then the organ can play through your piano's speakers. With this setup you'd need to choose the organs stops using the computer mouse and keyboard and the first upgade from that would be a launchpad connected to the computer for selecting stops and pistons.
I think it’s very difficult to manage a sub for this set, in my studio, for mixing, I’ve abandoned that idea, using two fabulous Adam a8x, may be you can try with those speakers, they go really low.
I just did an auto detect within Hauptwerk. It works rather well, because when I press it all the stops light up (T = Tutti) and when Hauptwerk has closed down they all go off. It's a good indication that the computer has shutdown :)
Loved seeing and hearing about your Hauptwerk setup but was puzzled why you’re using the messy taped up launch pads. It’s far better to have a touch screen next to your console to give all the functionality at your fingertips (floating manuals, etc) including all those extra stops that aren’t mapped to the console. Obviously the stops that are mapped to the console will operate from either control and will also activate the other via the midi. I have a 23” touch screen on a small table at the RH end of the organ bench (being right handed) but looks like it won’t fit in front of the radiator unless you move the whole installation the the left a bit.
I don't agree about the touch screens.... I've used them many times on many different organs and I loathe them. For my style of playing where I'm changing my registrations very quickly and regularly, it is extremely off-putting to have to delicately 'press' a single stop at a time during a crucial moment in a tricky piece of music. Given this, I'd rather have something physical to press like my launchpads. But fear not - the new organ has 130 drawstops and there'll not be a launchpad (or touchscreen) in sight! :) :) :)
The problem with this is you think when you buy a sampleset it stops there . I know someone who's divorce has ended due to him starting what he thought was a few hundred pounds project. He's up to date blown £18,000 on his set up As it says in the video, the speakers are very important, the most important and if you're going to use a pair of stereo speakers then I'd not even bother even starting . I remember my friend buying the sampleset and then asking ' where is this sound I heard " so the next time someone says you can use any midi organ and download the sampleset remember how this will escalate into thousands of pounds 💷 😉
If you could have a replica of ANY organ console in the world, which would it be and why?
Maybe it's the console of the Moreau-organ in Gouda. All stops within reach and it looks very beautiful.
St Paul's Cathedral. No reason in particular, wishful thinking maybe, if I'm honest, I just love it!

Given this, I'd rather have something physical to press like my launchpads. But fear not - the new organ has 130 drawstops and there'll not be a launchpad (or touchscreen) in sight! :) :) :)
@@beautyinsound oh ok, I really like my touch screen 😊
Nothing about the car on top of the computer cabinet? 🤔
Can you tell what it is??
The problem with this is you think when you buy a sampleset it stops there . I know someone who's divorce has ended due to him starting what he thought was a few hundred pounds project. He's up to date blown £18,000 on his set up
As it says in the video, the speakers are very important, the most important and if you're going to use a pair of stereo speakers then I'd not even bother even starting . I remember my friend buying the sampleset and then asking ' where is this sound I heard " so the next time someone says you can use any midi organ and download the sampleset remember how this will escalate into thousands of pounds 💷 😉
