VIRGIL - the FREE Pipe/Church Organ Synthesizer

YouTube via syntesen
"Levo Sound Tools presents VIRGIL - the world's first free pipe organ synthesizer.

"Organ synthesizer" means that absolutely no samples are used in the sound generation. Each tone is generated by 52 oscillators, which are on/off switchable. The pipes range from 64' profound (sub-sub octave) to 1' flageolet. There are also combination (mixture) stops, some of which fatten up the sound in unpredictable ways, as well as a tremulant.

To guarantee authenticity, the synthesizer is not limited to a 100% pitch pure pipe simulation; rather, the user can detune the pipes slightly to recreate that authentic pipe organ sound. On top of this, the pipe noise feature adds authentic pipe blowing noise. For good measure, we've thrown in a global low pass filter as well.

The quality of the synthesizer is selectable to guarantee low CPU usage on all systems. (10 tones with all stops enabled results in 12% CPU usage in 64-bit mode, 5% in 32-bit mode on a Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz processor)

VIRGIL is, and will always be free, but as the principal developer is a poor medical students, donations are very much appreciated. In return for a $5 donation, you will receive the pre-release version of VIRGIL used in the background music of this video.

All donations will be put to use in further developing VIRGIL, as well as, eventually, porting the synthesizer to Windows."

"Another thing I learnt at the Nicolas Collins workshop - pick-up microphone recording the internal sounds of the laptop. Just some compression and a little reverb on the signal..."

"This melodi was originally recorded by Joe Esposito and apparantly it was part of the soundtrack from "Flashdance". I recorded it in 2000 when I was an unemployed newly graduated electronics engineer. This is also the reason that it might not be 100% correctly interpreted. But I still find it rather charming.

Since I cannot recreate the circumstances under which it was recorded - I lived in another house back then and looked different myself too - I decided to record the video in a completely different environment. I am not usually in the habit of showing undressed men in my videos! But this sculpture which is placed near the beach in the Danish city Esbjerg is showing four oversized - and luckily not anatomically completed - concrete men overlooking the sea. It is called "Mennesket ved havet" ("Man meets the sea") and is made by the artist Svend Wiig Hansen.

The instrument I used was: Yamaha HE-8 (harmonies, chords, and bass), Technics SX-C600 (strings and vibraphone), Yamaha PSS-12 (chords), Kawai MS-20 (melodi), and Yamaha SX soundcard (arpeggios)."

"Yes, my foots-ies were surfing the 2 pedals. Utter dorkdom with expression pedals riding Ring Mod mix and Delay time. Felt as if playing a pump organ. Mellotron MKII guitar and piano combo, secret recipe. Kind of got happy w/ delay feedback, but it's the kind of day! : )"
