Baroque Organ from Szentgotthard v.2
The city got its name from the Cistercian Abbey of St. Gotthard, which was established in 1183. The abbey and the church was destroyed several times, the current state is from 1755. This abbey's church is one of the largest baroque temple of Hungary.
The first organ in the church was built by Ferdinand Schwarz in 1764. He was an organ builder in Graz. The organ was two-manual and 23-registers, it is not included reed-stops.
The organ was rebuilt several times, and in 1932 the Rieger organ factory declared beyond repair and organ thrown in the trash. All the mechanics and whistles of Organ destroyed, only the magnificent baroque organ case was pardoned. The Rieger factory built a 12 registers pneumatic instrument to replace the previous organ, which was used for liturgical purposes.
We do not know the original instrument sounded, but the new organ to perform well in the wonderful space tof church.
The sample sets are made in two forms.
a. A version of wet stereo
b. A Surround version (3 pairs of stereo recording: close (near); at distance (far) and in the background (rear).
In the surround version you can adjust the perspective by setting the volume of the near, far and rear recordings.
(Suitable HW loading and channel settings can be used to give wet or semidry stereo modes or 4 channel surround mode too).
The sample set reverb is 3.5-4 s reflecting the original acoustics of the church
Hauptwerk v4.2 or v5-9 supported for the Organ Definition Files.

Surround vs Stereo mode
If you do not have a surround sound system, but there is enough memory (RAM), I suggest you also install the surround version. If you activate the front and rear stops too, then you will get a more compact and fuller sound than the simple stereo.
