Hauptwerk Virgual Pipe Organ Software
James Pressler uses Hauptwerk to create his music files at Virtual Baroque.
Hauptwerk is a wonderful program from England; your computer can become a pipe organ. It uses sound samples of organs from all over the world; if attached to an adequate sound system, it can serve as an organ for churches, auditoriums, or in outdoor public spaces.
James Pressler uses Hauptwerk to create all his wonderful mp3 organ files on Virtual Baroque. He occasionally has midi files and a few wav files available also.
Using My Super PC and PC Perspective Hardware Leaderboard as starting points, I recently spent some time virtually building a Windows system that would meet Hauptwerk requirements and I was surprised to find that the cost, though self-built, was comparable to an equivalent Mac system.
Then, a few weeks later, the news broke from Hauptwerk:
Hauptwerk is now available for the Apple Mac (Intel and G4/G5) as well as Windows PCs. It performs so well on the current Mac range and OS X that we now recommend them as an ideal platform for Hauptwerk.
So now you can have the best of both worlds, the Mac world and the Hauptwerk Organ world. You can blow your neighbors' socks off with your virtual pipe organ on your Mac.
