2019 Black Friday and Holiday Sale and News!

Greetings, everyone!

Just a quick note to let you know most of our sample sets (everything except the Wangerin instruments and the FBR Schantz) are on sale for 20% off starting on Black Friday – November 29th, 2019. Use the code BF2019 at checkout to apply the discount. EDIT: There were issues with our shopping cart, so we’ve returned to the former PayPal method, new prices are implemented without a code.

A few things to note – at this time there are no plans to sell the Covenant Presbyterian Aeolian-Skinner or the Concordia University Irvine Casavant for HW5, and sometime after the sale period they will be removed from the site – if you want either of those, get ’em now! (and only for HW 4.21). Also, after a run of nearly 16 years, the venerable FBR Schantz will join the ranks of retired products as well.

Secondly, our future releases will be for HW-5 only (except for any which might not use the encryption), as we will not be able to get new license updates for HW 4.21 after 4 months, so there is no reason to expend the extra effort to develop for two HW versions in that case.

Thirdly, at this time we are evaluating whether or not to sell the Christ Cathedral Aeolian-Skinner and the St. Mark’s Skinner for HW-5 and have not made that decision yet, although we will before the end of the sale period. Please LET US KNOW if you are interested in purchasing either of these sets for HW-5, it will help us decide.

Finally, for all customers who have purchased encrypted sets for HW4.x in the past, all of our sets have been re-encrypted for HW-V, and will be available for download HERE, regardless of future plans.

We have some exciting new sets in progress, as well as further tweaking of the former CLR sets still to come, we look forward to continuting our support of Hauptwerk and this community.

Redlands Casavant | Updated and improved!

We are pleased to announce the release of the updated and improved version of the Redlands Casavant sample set for Hauptwerk. This update is free for all existing licensed users of the set, and for the next two weeks will be offered at a 15% discount ($335 instead of $395) for new customers. (click here to download if you are an existing Redlands licensed user)

Using some excellent source material, and based on additional experience we have gained, we have revised the samples for the Redlands sample set. The resulting sample set is vastly improved, giving you an even more compelling 1928 American Classic organ experience. Revisions include:

  • Checking all loops, fixing any loop errors
  • Reapplying noise reduction using new techniques, resulting in superior sample audio quality and reduced download and sample set size
  • Evaluating all attacks and releases, and fixing errors that were found
  • Adding a Simple Screen for those who find the photorealistic interface hard to see (coming shortly)

We think you will find that the revised samples will be a pleasing experience for you for years to come. The Demo set has also had the revised samples incorporated, you are invited to download it and hear the difference.

The Redlands Casavant is the first sample set we have reprocessed with these new techniques. We will be working on the rest of the CLR sample sets to provide similar improvements. Sign up ( form below the preview pic of the simple screen) for our mailing list to make sure you know when they are released.
