Presented in dynamic order, from quietest to loudest, you can mix presets by choosing any or all of the stop combinations.
Choose our default curated mix, or mix and match six expertly placed microphone positions for extra control - from mics placed inside the organ itself for an amazing full-tilt sound, to ambient mics for a wider, more resonant tone. Choose from 16 manual combinations, 13 pedal combinations for that extra bassy sound, and 8 ensembles, which span the whole organ.Įvery pitch has been recorded, to give you that natural room sound. This expert curation of pedals and manuals will save you a huge amount of work and will help you get the very best out of the instrument. Crucially, this library is entirely made up of a comprehensive range of ready-made stop combinations, created by those who know and use the organ best - Rugby School organist & Head of Academic Music James Williams and organist Andy Richards. With a dizzying number of combinations of stops and pedals, it has the ability to create brass, wind and string sounds, comprising more components and tones than a symphony orchestra - which can be overwhelming for anyone unfamiliar with the instrument. “The idea was to give people sound palettes and tones they could work with, rather than trying to understand the complexity of mixing various stops and pipes” - Andy Richards, composer, producer & organistĪn organ of this size is in many ways the original analog synth. Expertly recorded and presented, this definitive organ library has been designed to fit perfectly with our Symphonic range, enabling you to create rich sounding scores.
Heard in the opening sequence to Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, the contrast of this cathedral-sized organ - four manuals (keyboards), 71 stops (of which 55 are speaking stops) and 3,721 pipes - with its intimate chapel acoustic setting, creates an epic sound, producing a unique intensity and immediacy. There is no orchestral instrument that can go lower in pitch, giving you thunderous sub-bass like depth that you feel rather than hear.Īs soon as Spitfire founder and composer Paul Thomson heard the Rugby School Chapel Organ, he knew Spitfire had to sample it. As well as in renowned symphonic works such as Saint-Saens’ Organ Symphony, the organ provides the foundations for countless blockbuster film scores of various genres, including Koyaanisqatsi (Philip Glass), Vertigo (Bernard Herrmann), Interstellar (Hans Zimmer), 2001: A Space Odyssey (from Richard Strauss’ 1896 work Also Sprach Zarathustra) and Tron (Wendy Carlos). “The space compresses the sound, creating a battering of the senses.” - Paul Thomson, composer, organist & Spitfire Audio founderĪ hugely versatile instrument now widely used beyond its original church or horror film setting, the organ is perfect for adding depth, power and beauty to orchestral scores and compositions.
