36 MIDI files for Rabstejn Organ Model

. It is in my customary Quasi-Rodgers channel setup. Licensed users of the Rabstejn sampleset
will be able to use the registrations I used and alter them. You may purchase this sampleset from Sonus Paradisi.
All others will be able to create their own registrations on different instruments.

The file named OrganID000816.rar should be unpacked in a separate directory and
added manually to the folder C:\Hauptwerk\HauptwerkUserData\Combinations\OrganID000816\
To avoid confusion, this is the number for the Direct rather than the Diffuse version.
Do a backup first so as not to erase combinations you may have created with the same name.

To alter the registration, stop the MIDI file, turn on Combination Capture CTL-;
change stops; go to current frame CTL-down arrow key; turn off capture CTL-'
and proceed playing the MIDI. Save the new combination file under a different name.

If your MIDI player has a tempo control (I use van Basco Karaoke player to play slower
or faster), you can adjust tempo to different rooms, samplesets, and your own taste.

While you're playing back a piece, say Prelude and Fugue in C minor, BWV 546, try exploring
different temperaments, which you can do as it is playing. Note that some change pitch
dramatically (anything with "Roetha" in front of it).

If you like to use shortcut keys a lot as I do, and maybe make typing misteaks as much
as I do, it might be well to familiarize yourself with the effects they can have. Click
any of the tabs at the top and a list will pop up. Moving the mouse over any other tab
to see other shortcut keys. Clicking on your keyboard's ESC key will make it go away. You can
check the status om some of them by looking at the bottom cells. In addition to Current
Frame, you can see the Transposer, Tuner, Temperament, Recorder, and Capture statuses.

Any two manual and pedal organ will play these files, but you will have to create the
registrations yourself. Usually they just use Generals 1 through 12, but sometimes banks
and even sequential frames are used when the number exceeds 8. BTW the Bank are groupings
of 64 Frames. You will see the numbers 1 - 65 - 129 etc. in the lower left part of the window
when you push CTL-1, CTL-2, CTL-3 etc. Pushing CTL-cursor right advances 1 frame, CTL-cursor
left decreases 1 frame.

My suggestion is that you create a new registration file in your (2-manual) sampleset of
choice, add stops that you will be able to hear on each of the eight banks, play the MIDI
file, change registrations according to your grand plan. If the organ drops out, usually
at the end, you will see that a new frame has been accessed. Stop the MIDI file and make
adjustments. It will probably be based on the frame that precedes it. In a very few cases.
two frames or banks are accessed quickly so that, for example, a pedal reed can be added
or a manual that is not playing can be augmented or decreased in preparation for a manual
change. Save the results to a new combination file. I made extensive use of couplers and
compensated for any overlaps or blurs that may have been present. I also used the G.O.
expression extensively, and experimented with Prospect Enclosed and noise features.
Usually I opted for the organ's temperament. Many of the tracks were completely reworked
in regards to articulation.Because there were only 6 combination pistons I sometimes
mixed those with Registration Banks.
