Hauptwerk - Smecno Organ

Posted on by

I would like to introduce a new Hauptwerk sample set. It is the model of the renaissance instrument of Smecno. Well, this organ was one of the first Sonus Paradisi made back in the Hauptwerk 1 times. If I am not mistaken, the initial release happened more than 7 years ago. Well, this is not the point of my forum entry.

The Smecno Organ Model for Hauptwerk was now released in the version 2. As expected it is based on completely new recording of the instrument, with all the advanced Hauptwerk features. Apart from other qualities which are well known to the Sonus Paradisi sample set users (unsurpassed clarity and cleanness of the sound, multiple versions of the sample set including the surround etc.) this sample set is very special in presenting two stages in the life of the instrument. This time we feature the state of the organ before and after the restoration which took place in the last year. The instrument was recorded before the organbuilders touched it, and after they completed their work.
