Marcos Ciscar Eternity Church Organ v2.0 [KONTAKT]

A highly detailed and exquisitely sampled Church Organ for Kontakt.
Covering various stops and combinations from the most subtle to the roaring tutti with pedals.

Eternity Church Organ was recorded from the organist's perspective on a Swedish church organ built in 1790.
The organ was modernized in 1981 and newly renovated and expanded in 2015.

The recordings: 24 bit – 96 kHz, dithered to 44,1 kHz. Five microphones – three in front of the instrument and two in the center of the church. The room ambience was mixed into the sound and is central in the release notes.

The reverb: At first, a custom-made IR from the church was used but was rejected due to phase issues. In the final product the reverb IR is based upon an IR created on a traditional reverb unit imitating the church ambience.
Use the reverb to position the listener further out in the church room.

Presets: 24. Fourteen original organ stops were recorded together with ten combinations curated by Marcos Ciscar. The selection was made using stops from all three manuals and the note range is C2 - A6 (58 notes per stop).

Pedals: Five pedal combinations were recorded. The lowest octave was added to the keyboard sound in the following presets: Fifth evangelist, Interstellar 2, Midnight mass, Principal 8 and Tutti. These presets have the addendum (PEDALS). The lowest note is C1.

All samples have been noise-cleaned. Even so, some of the organ stops, such as "Borduna 16" have an inherent pipe noise that is part of the sound. This is completely normal.
