MAJESTIC PIPE ORGAN

A grand pipe organ, recorded in a spacious Georgian church, featuring a curated collection of stop combinations. With three microphone positions, this library showcases the organ’s full range, from soft, reedy tones to full-on majestic power.



Recorded in St Paul’s Hall, Huddersfield, a repurposed church built in 1829 and now used as a concert hall and music venue, the St Paul’s organ features three manuals and a rich variety of stops and timbres. This library captures four stop combinations, carefully curated by Fracture Sounds founder, Will Bedford.



From soft, reed-like tones to majestic room-filling sounds, each combination is perfectly captured by three microphone perspectives, showcasing the vast reverberation of this historic Georgian space.

The Interface



Swell
– Acts like the swell pedal of a pipe organ, allowing the sound to become dynamically louder or softer

Colour
– EQ effect to change the brightness of the overall sound.

Stereo Width
– Controls the stereo widening effect, turn clockwise to widen the signal, turn fully anticlockwise for a mono signal.

Reverb
– The mid and far mics contain a glorious natural reverb, captured in the church. If you need even more, you can use this reverb control, with further settings if you click the gear icon.

Mic Mix
– Control the balance of the three microphone perspectives using the individual Close, Mid and Far sliders, or blend seamlessly between a close and far mix using the Perspective slider.



Sample Start
– Controls the sample offset.

Swell Intensity
– Control how much the volume of the instrument is affected by the swell modulation.

Release Volume
– Controls the volume of the releases to give the option of taming the natural reverb.

Stop Combinations



The original organ features 41 stops, covering a vast range of timbres, including principals, mixtures, flutes and reeds. An organist would typically blend these stops together to create unique ‘combinations’ to fit a particular moment in a piece of music.

To give you access to a range of these sounds in a user-friendly way, we have included four combinations (presented as articulations on the interface) which we have carefully crafted to cover the timbral range of the organ.

Starting with a soft ‘choral’ sound and progressively increasing in brightness and intensity, the included combinations are named Mellow, Bright, Rich, and Full.
