Today, I wish to introduce a Very Special Sample Set for the Hauptwerk software to you. Rather than VS, it is a XXO sample set, because it is the virtual model of the oldest playable English instrument. It is the organ of the Adlington Hall (Cheshire). The instrument is one of the earliest British organs surviving in near original condition. The instrument was attributed to "Father" Bernard Smith, but the authorship remains enigmatic. It was built probably in 1693. One of the top composers of the time, George Frederick Händel, used to be a guest of the Legh family, visiting them in their Adlington home and playing the organ. Technical details and the specification of the instrument is displayed on my web pages dedicated to the Adlington sample set.
The sample set can be used in Hauptwerk version 4.2 and any higher version (incl. HW 7). It is available in a surround 6-channel variant (direct, diffuse, rear perspectives). The listening position can be varied via a built-in mixer. The sample set is offered in plain wave format, no dongle encryption was used.
The demo sample set is given for free, it features 6 ranks of the organ in all the perspectives.
