Fracture Sounds have released Blueprint: Church Organ, available as a FREE download.
A grand pipe organ, recorded in a spacious Georgian church, featuring a curated collection of stop combinations. With three microphone positions, this library showcases the organ’s full range, from soft, reedy tones to full-on majestic power.
Recorded in St Paul’s Hall, Huddersfield, a repurposed church built in 1829 and now used as a concert hall and music venue, the St Paul’s organ features three manuals and a rich variety of stops and timbres. This library captures four stop combinations, carefully curated by Fracture Sounds founder, Will Bedford.
From soft, reed-like tones to majestic room-filling sounds, each combination is perfectly captured by three microphone perspectives, showcasing the vast reverberation of this historic Georgian space.
The original organ features 41 stops, covering a vast range of timbres, including principals, mixtures, flutes and reeds. An organist would typically blend these stops together to create unique ‘combinations’ to fit a particular moment in a piece of music.
To give you access to a range of these sounds in a user-friendly way, we have included four combinations (presented as articulations on the interface) which we have carefully crafted to cover the timbral range of the organ.
Starting with a soft ‘choral’ sound and progressively increasing in brightness and intensity, the included combinations are named Mellow, Bright, Rich, and Full.
Features include:
- Four pipe organ articulations
- Close, Mid, and Far Mics
- Swell control replicates the behaviour of the swell mechanism on a pipe organ.
- Simple and user-friendly interface
- Full NKS support – works with Komplete Kontrol hardware.
- 2.5GB download size (NCW compressed from a 5GB sample pool).
