This will change your organist-life..

[@user-wz6qp9xx8d]

Paul, you very modestly omitted to mention that apart from an internet connection, a powerful PC setup, your home organ, Hauptwerk mp3 files, the headphones, and a mouse and keyboard, achieving "the whole magic" also requires you as the extraordinarily gifted, dextrous and fleet of foot operator to select and depress the correct organ keys at the appropriate time and in the right sequence to produce a sound that captivates your listeners.

[@PaulFey]

Thaaats true, but you can learn to do that! 😀🤓

[@stepps511]

A must see for those of us who can be so clueless when it comes to these things! Thank you, Paul!

[@lemoneez4485]

i am only 15 years old but i really want to learn to play this instrument but a few months go my mom was talking to a woman who had an electric organ she was giving away for free it only has two manuals and even though it doesnt sound as good as the organ that you have i really like it and hopefully i can someday upgrade to an organ more similar to yours

[@MusicBear51]

PLEASE, follow your dreams!! We desperately need young organists! 🎼🎵🎶❤️. We expect to hear about your adventures on the bench! 🎶

[@fredriktimren2242]

My life truly change after I connected these cables to my Johannus organ!!😃

[@geir.j.a.johansen]

Lieber Paul. Ich muss sagen, dass es eine Freude ist, Ihnen zuzuhören. Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihre Weihnachtsvorspiele, die ich letztes Jahr vor Weihnachten gekauft habe. Nochmals vielen Dank und herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrer neuen Wohnung. Herzliche Grüße, Geir.

[@gerardklehm1902]

Thank you, that is my favorite hymn!!! It is sometimes referred to as the English Te Deum.❤❤❤

[@FLH3official]

Thank you for the video, I didn't realize that: MIDI, invented in 1981, Hauptwerk released in 2002 and Grandorgue launched in 2006, were not already a thing, and a day to day use among organists since a long time.

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

Just an additional post.... I always love watching you video's.... You such a happy go lucky soul who always makes me smile and laugh along side you.... You will go far with your music.... It is my hope that some day.... some where We will have the chance to meet and exchange ideas....

[@michaelpfaff6009]

Thanks again for including us in the organ set-up! It's pretty cool to hear and watch you!!

[@alekbacon814]

MIDI works by connecting OUT to IN and IN to OUT. Think of it like you are sending the signal OUT of the organ and IN to the PC.

[@SuperDaroG]

Thank you for this comment, I was about to send back MIDI interface, because it seemed not working, but it was the mistake from my side

[@blasebalg3686]

Großartig wenn alles klappt. Deine Installationsgeräusche muss ich mir merken. 👏👍👌🙏

[@n.g.g.3113]

Da staunt der alte Mann. Dankeschön. ❤

[@crosenvold1]

These Hauptwerk set-ups, where you can emulate some of the greatest church organs in your own home, must be a game changer for organists in all leagues all over the world, and also for the listeners, who will have access to such a rich variety of performances from any device with intenet connection at no cost. And by the way, I think I understand how the compositions are built up much better, by seeing the hands and feet of the organist, instead of just listening to a record.

[@orgelschlager1159]

Großartig Paul Fey. Mir sind einige Lichter aufgegangen. Vielen Dank. ❤👍🙏

[@davidlane1169]

I got a chuckle from this post for it's about 3 decades in coming. We got our first Yamaha during the late 80s around the time the DX-7 burst into view, we could not afford a DX then, we purchased an analog midi equipped version. No magazines to teach one, teachers were practically non-existant for midi in those days, it took over ten years to learn even the basics then. I don't have to remind folks now how handy the internet is. Now I'm trying to absorb the USB portion of it. Thanx

[@davidlane1169]

Being an audiophile, I foresaw component organ in the 80s as possible. Funny that came true huh? This is just started & growing, you'll see real progress soon.

[@homagetogorto]

I didn't expect MIDI cables to look the same after all these years. I had an Atari ST in the 80s with built-in MIDI ports.

[@enteranamehere3242]

Midi has only gotten a new version ~4 years ago. I think these days, many devices allow midi-over-usb as well, so you don't need a dedicated midi interface on your computer anymore

[@gero6488]

Ein wunderbarer Beitrag. Ich verstehe jetzt alles viel besser. Bravo. 👍👌👏

[@leetingler619]

Paul You might put a piece of colored tape on one cable on both ends to identify in from out.😊 Color coding really helps when the dark or in a hurry. I have a large systemw a great subwoofer, and your organ sounds great. 🎶 🎵

[@NorbiBerlin]

Große Klasse, deine Erläuterungen - jetzt weiß ich wenigstens mal, was man zum Start der Hauptwerk-Software und des Orgel-Samples tun muss😀 - und dein Orgelspiel. Ich freu mich immer, dich mit so viel Freude am Orgelspiel zu sehen. Vielen Dank und weiterhin viel Freude und alles Gute! Liebe Grüße, Norbert

[@jeremyh.1243]

Wow! How magnificent! That’s a beautiful rendition you played for us. 👏

[@RobertJohnsonmusic]

A marvelous tutorial of the Hauptwerk system, Paul!

[@alois2709]

Sehr schön Paul Fey ich freue mich. 👌👍👏

[@fortesso]

Yup! MIDI cable is best connection option for Hauptwerk, GrandOrgue and other virtual organ stuff. Tip for beginners: buy branded MIDI interface, cheap cable (no brand) often not working (error code 10). Greetings and I waiting for this video 😊

[@James_Bowie]

VERY important point! You can waste hours and be sent crazy with a junk MIDI interface cable.

[@fortesso]

Definitely. Don't buy junk MIDI interface cable, only branded cables guaranteed 100% working and low latency.

[@newfyboy]

Great video Paul....enjoyed watching the set-up & learning a little bit about how it all works. I'm not a computer geek, but a good organist....if I have to set that up...guess I'll call in a 15 year old to do it! Your new music room setup looks great...sending you Blessings on your new apartment & a happy future there!

[@jaygee999]

Paulus, bitte beschütze deine Hände vor Schaden - lass sie segnen! Vielen Dank für Ihre Freundlichkeit

[@c.g.5590]

Ja die Technik, da muss man wohl auch ein bisschen was können . Prima

[@mawi5512]

Frage: Kannst du die einzelnen Manuals auch gestaffelt einspielen und dann miteinander abspielen lassen? Gibt es auch spezielle MIDI-Dateien für Orgeln zum Kaufen? Bietest du deine Eigenkompositionen auch als MIDI-Datei an, so dass man als Anfänger z.B. einfach die Solostimme spielen könnte und es trotzdem wie Paul Fey tönt?😂

[@ShortyCaro]

You're so knowledgeable Paul. Sounds and looks complex for this 60 yr old😂

[@vewilli]

👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻 Unfortunately I don‘t have the organ, but I know and work a lot with MIDI in my home-studio!

[@steffensindermann3220]

Hey, lieber Paul. Schon interessant, deine Hauptwerkorgel. Technik machts möglich. Ich denke, dass es dir auch besonders gefällt zu spielen und komponieren. Viel Spaß und danke für's zeigen, lieber Paul. Bis demnächst und gute Videos, wünscht dir Steffen.

[@jullianesilva7347]

Hi! Thank you for the video! Could you show how to set up for the sound to come out of the organ's speakers instead of using a earphone? I speak portuguese, so sorry for some mistake. I love your videos!!!

[@g.k.failla9389]

Reminds me of setting up stereo system components. Mmm - pre-amplifier, amplifier, tuner, speakers, other components. And oh yeah, now where does the equalizer get plugged in, or out of where? The first time was the head scratcher. (To do what you did with the organ and software learning to play first helps)! From Chicago, U.S.A.

[@marcovergani6407]

In Italy this hymn is known as "Te lodiamo Trinità"

[@yvesbrissette4074]

Nice video and very useful. Thank you Paul.

[@pianostudy4403]

Wonderful to have the flexibility to play and hear the different organs. Okay, I’m a non-technical person for sure, but do you have some type of surge protector for the PC and organ by chance? (Btw, enjoying the Easter & Pentecost Collections II book here in MS/USA. I started on a couple of selections 😎.)

[@RainerSchulz449]

How do you do it: you listen to the music through headphones. At the same time, a camera is filming, which apparently also picks up the sound, so that I can now see and hear it on KZbin, perfectly synchronized.

[@paultidd9332]

Very interesting…. but I thought also the PC needed a midi card/box/interface thing? And also, how do you set the stops and pistons up if you don’t have a touchscreen? Surely using the actual organs stops/tabs and pistons is easier than trying to touch a screen whilst playing?

[@HansSchuwerack]

Hallo Paul, vorweg, ich finde Deinen Kanal sehr gut und auch Deine Tipps sind sehr hilfreich. Was ich jedoch bei dem heutigen Video vermisst habe, war eine kurze Beschreibung darüber, was so ein PC für eine Leistung haben muss, um so viele Midisignale in Echtzeit verarbeiten zu können. Vielleicht kannst Du das ja irgendwann, irgendwo einbauen. Quasi die technischen Daten eines Rechners, um Hauptwerk betreiben zu können. LG Hans

[@PaulFey]

Hallo Hans, vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen!! 😀 Das kommt ganz darauf an welche Orgel du in Hauptwerk laden und spielen möchtest. Ich habe damals mit meinem Laptop angefangen, alter i7 und 16GB Arbeitsspeicher. Hat auch funktioniert, ist aber natürlich nicht optimal 😀 Wenn du einigermaßen zukunftssicher aufgestellt sein willst brauchst du einen PC mit um die 128GB RAM, modernem Prozessor und seeeehr viel Speicherplatz auf der Festplatte 😀

[@HansSchuwerack]

Lieber Paul, herzlichen Dank für Deine Antwort, so schnell hätte ich damit gar nicht gerechnet. Nun ja, da heißt es dann wohl erst einmal weiter sparen für einen Rechner der sicher seeeehr teuer sein wird. Alles Liebe und Gute Dir und Deinem Hintergrund. Mit wohlklingenden Grüßen Hans @@PaulFey

[@PaulFey]

@@HansSchuwerack Viel Erfolg!! 😀

[@Christina-yo8qw]

👌👌👌👌

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

Paul a quick question for you >>>> Can you assign the voices to different channels or does it split the families to different speakers i.e. reeds in one channel, flutes another.... or can you establish pedal division, swell division etc to certain speakers.... Thanks... Doc.

[@PaulFey]

I think you can! Don't ask me how, but I think I heard that being done somewhere. There are probably extensive audio settings and options in the stop voicing-module as well! 😀

[@essayemyoung4009]

It looks like you have to buy Hauptwerk advanced to do more than stereo output and per-pipe voicing. However, in GrandOrgue you can output to multiple audio output channels and assign each rank to an arbitrary output channel.

[@Recommendable]

Your real organ tabs can be set up as well I believe without the necessity to reach out for the screen - the thing may be different stop names

[@eliastaglang]

Gibt es Noten zu kaufen von deinem „Grosser Gott wir loben dich“?

[@nigelmorris2549]

Paul, what was the hymn tune you played splendidly right at the end, it sounds familiar but can't name it, thank you

[@davidcurrier8038]

Also, can play a three-manual sample set on a 2-manual home organ?

[@Spillregal16]

Hallo Paul, da du schon an so vielen Orgeln gespielt hast würde es mich interessieren wen oder wo man fragen muss um dafür die erlaubnis zu bekommen. Ich gehe von dem Organisten aus aber sicher bin ich mir nicht.🙂

[@scronx]

Thank you! Do you need an extra MIDI cable (actually "interface") to do MIDI sequencing on this setup, or can everything go through just one? Your desktop is awfully crowded. This has caused known problems on my puters several times. My experts warned of this, I didn't believe it, but cleaning up and consolidating the desktop sure enough fixed them.

[@J-H-B]

Hallo Paul, Ich habe dieselbe Kisselbach Orgel wie Du. Auch mein Favorit ist das Sampleset von Düren wegen der vielen Zungenstimmen. Was ist das für ein Gerät über dem Pedal und rechts vom PC. Kannst Du mir sagen von welcher Marke und Modell es ist? Ist es wie externe Pistons?

[@davidcurrier8038]

Must order Hauptwerk mp3 files directly from Hauptwerk?

[@johnruiz8758]

Paul, im new to hauptwerk setup. I have a 2 manual console. Are you able to assign stops from a third and maybe fourth manual within 2 manuals? Thank you!!

[@soundofmysoul4897]

You can easily assign as many manuals as you want to each keyboard. You can also play all manuals from just one keyboard. Simply start the configuration for each manual and select the first and last key of the desired keyboard. Hauptwerk doesn't care if it's always the same keyboard.

[@johnruiz8758]

Thank you very much!!​@soundofmysoul4897

[@matthewiskra771]

I'm surprised, as an IT guy, that it still has a MIDI connector from... 1981. I guess a standard is a standard.

[@essayemyoung4009]

I believe it’s the same DIN-5 connector that used to be used for mouse and keyboard peripherals. With all the time and consensus it takes to gain widespread use of a new display or USB connector type, I’m not surprised that MIDI just piggybacked on USB like so many other things did.

[@Recommendable]

I wanted to ask you about reverb actually, - you basically tend to buy dry samples and then you turn on some hauptwerk reverb feature or you just buy wet samples and thats it? (I was thinking about buing dry samples and than using some awesome tool like Strymon Big Sky)

[@essayemyoung4009]

I think it depends. Some people really want to hear the original room response of the space where the organ is recorded, and for that wetter samples are better. I personally like drier samples because I want the flexibility of choosing my reverb parameters. There’s also often a mismatch between the way organ sample sets and live recordings sound because samplers will record the pipes in full stereo close to the organ, but with full reverb tails. On most live recordings I’ve heard the stereo microphones will be placed farther back from the pipecase, so I’ve come to associate long reverb tails with a dry signal that has less side content. With a dry sample set, you can fix this problem by varying both the mid/side balance and reverb send of each division (or even each rank if you want) independently. That way you can have a dorsal positiv division whose pipes don’t sound like they’re right next to the Great or Swell pipes. Newer samplesets (e.g., paid samplesets of Piotr Grabowski) offer more of a compromise with front/dry/rear/etc. recordings of each rank.

I’d get Friesach as long as it stays free. That of all his free samplesets seems to be the most versatile and cleanly recorded. I want to like Cracov, but it’s just way too wet for me.

[@rowanlidbury]

Then they find a knackered old PC, some rat infested amplifier and rotten speakers in a shed. And then you find out a few weeks later the Church have thrown their instrument in a skip, and spent the Organ fund down the pub because the congregation can't tell the difference. For Me, living in London, UK I can't practice anywhere as all instruments are locked away :'(
