       | exclusively)

           | worthwhile sample-sets), and there are some instruments for
           | Kontakt.

       | Sounds great, even from so limited a platform. One octave is
       | enough to have some fun with, if you're creative. Would have been
       | nice to be able to combine the stops, but the plenum at least
       | gives you a solid sound. You can really hear the character of the
       | organ.

       | You can play it with your ASCII keyboard as well, as if it were a
       | piano keyboard. It shows the German layout, but my Intl English
       | keyboard works just as well.

       | It's an extroardinary journey to record an organ, process the
       | thousands of WAV files and design a virtual organ model.

         | Very cool! I'd be curious what you think of Modartt's recent

         | more traditional sampler approaches.
