Freedom Morton 3/10

To order this organ, 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.   

This sample set is a medium sized 3 manual 10 rank Robert Morton Theatre Organ. It contains the same 10 ranks as the Miditzer 216 and is the perfect size for a theatre organist using Hauptwerk Basic Edition with limited resources.

These samples were recorded just outside the swell shades, so the organ is semi-dry and will benefit from added reverb. For those who like the small organ studio feel, the samples are probably just right as they are.

Donation and Order Forms:

This project, although free for personal and non-commercial use, is donationware 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.

Please go to the PayPal Donations page if you want 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.  

With this sample set fully loaded, the Hauptwerk executable will be using approximately 1.15 Gigs of RAM, so this sample set will load in Hauptwerk Free Edition with medium RAM resources. Hauptwerk Basic Edition is the recommended HW Edition as you will then be able to use 1000 notes of polyphony rather than the 256 polyphony limitation that comes with the Free Edition.

See the Robert Morton 3/10 Specification page for full Stop List of the sample set.

2nd Touch

There are a number of ways to use the 2nd Touch manuals.

The first is with a true 2nd Touch console that has a separate set of MIDI contacts for the 2T action. This is then configured in the advanced organ settings from the HW menu system.

The second is to use a Velocity sensitive MIDI keyboard and use the HW Auto MIDI configuration to sense that velocity, which should automatically set that manual to send messages above 'velocity nnn' to the 2nd touch (the value of the velocity amount can be manually configured). Then when you play on that keyboard, and hit the notes firmly, the 2nd Touch Stops will play.

And then finally, if you don't have a true 2nd Touch console, and you don't have velocity on your MIDI keyboard, there are the Melody Couplers (MEL) which will couple the 2nd Touch Stops onto their associated manual playing only the top most note (Melody).
