Expressive Eternity Church Organ for Kontakt
Eternity Church Organ is built around a single instrument: a pipe organ from a church in Sweden. Recorded from the organist's perspective to capture the organ at its best, you feel the pipes, the air and the church room around them. The original Swedish stop names - Borduna, Hålflöjt, Spetsflöjt, Waldflöjt and Rörflöjt - are kept exactly as they appear on the console. So is some of the natural pipe noise. I cleaned the recordings, but I did not remove the character of the instrument. It still breathes - from the most subtle flute stop to the full tutti with pedals. Built for sacred music, film scoring, ambient textures and anything in between.

It is the best sampled and most expressive organ I have played so far.
Inside Eternity Church Organ
Sounds from three manuals, fourteen original stops, ten curated combinations and five pedal combinations. From quiet flutes to full pedal weight - every preset is ready to play from your keyboard, with the church room captured around it.
GUI Controls
Filter: Lowpass filter with cutoff and resonance. Use it creatively to darken the organ, blur it into the background or sweep it in and out of a mix.
Atmosphere: Brings up the natural room sound captured alongside the organ - quiet air, soft noise, the breath of the space. Turn it up for a fuller sense of being there, or back for a drier, more direct tone.
Reverb: Algorithmic reverb with controls for level, modulation and time. Use it to position the listener further into the room - from close to the organ to deeper in the church.
All stops and combinations were set up, played and recorded on the physical organ - not stacked digitally afterwards. What you hear in the combinations is the actual instrument with multiple stops engaged at once. In that way you hear the pipes interact with each other and the room. The result is a richer and more natural sound.
Expression
Play softly and you hear the original samples - clean and unaltered. Play harder and the instrument starts to vary, subtly borrowing from neighboring notes to avoid the static feel of repeated samples. The harder you push, the more alive it gets.
Stops
Blockflöjt 2, Bombarde 16, Borduna 16, Dulcian 16, Gedakt 8, Hålflöjt 4, Principal 8 (with pedals), Principal (with linked keyboards), Rörflöjt 4, Rörflöjt 8, Spetsflöjt 8, Trechterregal, Tutti (with pedals) and Waldflöjt 2
Combinations
Pedals
Pedals are sampled directly from the organ's pedalboard with their own combinations of stops. When a preset includes pedals, the lower octave of your keyboard triggers these pedal sounds.
