This is some informal practice time on a Hauptwerk instrument we installed in York University's Concert Hall. The video is taken with my iphone4. So please excuse the quality.
He's working on the Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein.
The Hauptwerk instrument is using Milan Digital Audio's Masterworks Skinner sample set. It is a recreation of the E.M. Skinner instrument in Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Chicago.
The audio system is 14 Definitive Technology SM450, 1 Definitive Technology Supercube Reference Sub, 2 Echo Audiofire12 and 2 Crest CM2208 8 Channel amplifiers.
The Computer system is an 8 core Mac Pro with 2 Keytec touchscreens using drivers from Touch-Base.com
One of the big lessons from this event is how much difference it makes to have your speakers up high when doing a system installation. Having the speakers up high and spaced out, contributes to creating a broad, non-directional sound characteristic of a true pipe organ.
This effect is also contingent on having Hauptwerk's audio routed in such a way that you are using all of the speakers all of the time.
