I had the same reaction when I downloaded this organ. All of the SINE player patches are great. I was not aware about the Performance tab! I would never get beyond the full sustain and get consumed by the wall of sound this vst creates. It is so real. I learn a lot when I watch your videos.

Wow, another great recommendation Samuel, I'd not heard of the Sine player. And yes, the organ sounds great. I already have a couple of pipe organ vsts, but for that sort of instrument it's helpful to have a number of voices to swap between - makes for a more complex sound. I have a project on the back burner to build myself a midi pedalboard like a pipe organ and a piece of furniture to hold a number of keyboard midi controllers to re-create the feel of a multi manual pipe organ. Thank you for going through the ways to set up the plugin in a multi-timbral way. I spotted you can use different midi channels for controlling different patches too, so that would allow for multiple keyboards/pedalboard to play different patches at once. Could even set things up to play completely different plugins at the same time to extend the range of voices available to swap between. I think that's really important for playing the instrument like a real organ - playing the voices together and swapping between them during a performace. Yes, I really need to get on with making my pedalboard 🙂 and I must take the plunge and start a youtube channel myself to document it and things like it.
Thank you for making your videos, it's an inspiration and you've just shown me where I can get another nice sounding instrument to add to my far-too-big-already collection of plugins ;-).
Have a nice day
Matthew

Thanks, Samuel. I liked how you went into detail of how it worked and what you could do with it.

Pedal compass only one octave isn't sufficient for playing traditional organ music.
