New Developments in Virtual Instruments! 

We are all familiar with Hauptwerk and the hundreds of sampled organs that you can play on your Virtual Pipe Organ (VPO).

One new development in organ sound generation is OrganTEQ by Modartt. This piece of software has applications in the VPO world as well. Unlike Hauptwerk, OrganTeq requires no sample sets.  It is based on phyisical modelling, and actually uses sophisticated mathematical algorithms to create the sound of organ pipes in real time, as you play the notes!

We first started hearing about OrganTEQ before Christmas and since then, have had a chance to review it ourselves and to talk to several other people who have used it, and the results are good.

Organteq runs on any PC, Mac, or Linux computer. It is processor intensive, so requires the most powerful CPU you can get, but with a modest memory requirement. LISTEN

OrganTeq sells for US $299 direct from Modartt.

PianoTeq, and a virtual Harpsichord Instrument!

You can use your VPO to play either OrganTeq or PianoTeq (piano or harpsichord). Classic MIDIWorks can also provide a dedicated computer running OrganTeq and PianoTeq on a reliable Linux operating system.
