Redford Barton 3/10

The Redford Theatre is closed due to Covid-19 Pandemic restrictions - please go to Donate to the Redford to send them a donation to help them cover their monthly bills.

The Redford Theatre has served as a Metro Detroit entertainment center since it opened on January 27, 1928. The non-profit Motor City Theatre Organ Society owns and operates the Redford Theatre at 17360 Lahser Road, Detroit, MI 48219. Please visit the theatre for some fun if you are ever in the area!

In the latest update, the Piano Action has been added to the Organ Definition File (ODF) by Al Morse. We also thank Al for adding a Crescendo configuration page to this set, so that one can more closely configure the organ like the console in the Redford Theatre..

Donation and Order Forms:

This project, although free for personal and non-commercial use, will be donationware based and released by Melotone Sound Productions. Your donations to the project will help us to continue to develop new sample sets and improve the equipment and techniques used in their creation.

Projects like the Barton Series and the Freedom Morton Series are time intensive and are released on the understanding that users will donate towards the time spent on creating them. Please go to the PayPal Donations page if you are able to make a donation. 

Then go to the Donationware VTPOs Order Form page to fill in your information, and we will send you the link to download the sample set.  

Please Note: This is a SEMI-WET theatre organ sample set. Some of the acoustics of the Redford Theatre are part of the release portions of the samples, so if you are using additional reverb you will either need to use Hauptwerk's truncate release settings to make the ranks more dry, or you will need to reduce your external reverb.

The samples are in 16-bit 48khz Stereo, and the set uses recorded tremulant samples, not the Hauptwerk tremulant model.

This sample set is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) License. Which basically means you are free to use it and share it, so long as the license and attributions remain with the sample set.
