I wonder if this will be the largest Hauptwerk sample set when it is available. What will the requirements be to load this monster? Here is a link to the specification: https://orgel-pauluskirche-ulm.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Disposition_Gaida_Orgel.pdf

Actually, no, it won't be the largest one! The specification looks and IS impressive (and so is the sound), but many of the ranks are auxiliaries that appear as separate stops in each division, the official count is IV/86. So it is even a little smaller than the Walcker organ from St. Antonius (Papenburg), which is the largest organ I have sampled so far.

Expect around 40GB to load all six channels (3 perspectives) in 24 bit. All samples are processed, I am currently working on the special features (for example this organ features divisional transposers and to my knowledge this will be the first sampleset providing such a feature!) and also on finalizing the graphics.
I am expecting a release around end of July.

Two clarinets!

Btw, this may be the only organ featuring two clarinets!

One is the typical german romantic kind, a free reed stop that speaks very slowly, the other is actually an original Aeolian Skinner.

Now how 'bout that?
