Please note that although the Kispest virtual pipe organ implements controlling wind stability, the feature is not supported by Hauptwerk for customers residing in the US according to Hauptwerk manufacturer Milan Digital Audio.

Personal Edition

The Personal Edition features all stops in a wide  stereo, 48 kHz / 24-bit configuration with out-of-the-box wet acoustics.  The virtual instrument has the same features and controls as the  instruments of the Professional Edition, except that there are no  surround and acoustic adjustability features.

Professional Edition

The Professional Edition contains 4 independently  installable organs, each coming with different spatial and microphone  configuration types. The Wide Stereo version is the exact same as the  Personal Edition, and there are three additional acoustic setups: the  Stereo (which contains a more narrow stereo image compatible with  convolution reverb), the Quad Surround using 2 front and 2 rear  channels, and the Adjustable Surround, which by employing the supplied  VST plugin can configure the acoustics in real time. The Extended Edition will be an upgrade to the Professional Edition.

Licensing

The sample set comes in a Hauptwerk-specific encrypted format,  compatible with Hauptwerk 3.31, 4.0 and later. Modification or  disassembling the organ contents through the CODM interface of Hauptwerk  is not supported since the variety of functions, the large number  temperament data and the availability of the special built-in  perspective adjustment already offers most of the functions or more than  what the CODM interface may offer. The complexity of the Organ  Definition File shipping with this organ is fairly high and building  custom variants requires a certain amount of special expertise. If you  are planning a custom or commercial application that requires a  different setup what Kolozsvar Pipe Organ Samples offers now, please  contact us for making a customized version for you.
