The whole series will consist of 5 libraries:- Two single manual split keyboard continuo instruments designed for playing with chamber groups or small chapels /churches, two instruments consisting of 20 and 30 stops spread over two manuals and pedal and a three manual and pedal of 40 stops.

These libraries are based on a modern British instrument of moderate size built at the end of the 20th. century. As opposed to the very Romantic Willis samples, the samples are voiced on fairly low pressure and tend to have some chiff in the flues although it isn't generally over pronounced. The reeds tend to be a little bit more "splashy" and the overall tonal quality of the stops is a more suitable for Bach and similar composers although they will also give a good account of many other later composers.

The general concept behind the series is to provide a selection of relatively small instruments capable of playing most schools of organ music. They have been sampled dry and close up to achieve an intimate sound equally suitable for practicing in the home or in a small to medium building where the natural acoustics can develop the sound accordingly.

All ranks are at 48 kHz and 24 bit. Because the samples are recorded dry and use long loops, neither multiple loops nor multiple releases are necessary to provide an authentic effect. However, should end users wish to create these, the unencrypted nature of the samples will allow them to do so.

Currently, action and blower noise (if desired), are provided from the standard Hauptwerk set as are the Tremulant parameters and Wav. files. Stop noise was recorded from solenoid drawstops on the original instrument. Likewise, all graphics use those supplied in the standard Hauptwerk set. No wind modeling has been included but can be introduced if required by pasting the required parameters from the standard HW library into their relevant positions.

All ranks are independent including the Mixture ranks and the libraries are supplied unencrypted to allow complete flexibility for the end user to alter any of the stops in sound editors such as Cool Edit / Audition etc. Although the libraries have been created for Hauptwerk 3, it would be possible to create HW 1 and HW 2 libraries from the samples using the appropriate software.

Resolution files are provided for standard, 1280 x 1024 screens or 1024 x 768 screens.
