Vidas: Hello and welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast!
Ausra: This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better organist. V: We’re your hosts Vidas Pinkevicius... A: ...and Ausra Motuzaite-Pinkeviciene. V: We have over 25 years of experience of playing the organ A: ...and we’ve been teaching thousands of organists online from 89 countries since 2011. V: So now let’s jump in and get started with the podcast for today. A: We hope you’ll enjoy it! V: Let’s start episode 604 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Francois, and he writes: “Good day Vidas and Ausra, I hope you are well and you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. My name is Francois, I live in London and I came across you on the Hauptwerk Facebook group as well as YouTube. Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos and music that you two post, it really is an inspiration. I also saw your article about your Hauptwerk setup at home which was very helpful and I’m now in the process of replicating your setup. I received my keyboard stand over the weekend and today two of my three Nektar Impact GX61 keyboards were delivered. I’m only using the basic Hauptwerk subscription as I haven’t played organ in about 20 years and I need to get back in the saddle, so to speak. The peddle board will have to wait for now as it is a bit pricey. I would like to get a bit more info and help on your sound setup. I see you have Presonus Eris E4.5 monitors in your list of equipment. Are they good for reproducing a good sound especially in the 16’ and 32’ registers? How do you connect them to your Apple, do you connect them using an audio interface? I’m running on Windows 10 on a Dell laptop and any guidance and advice will be appreciated. Sorry for all the questions, but I really like your setup and I know that if you are happy with it then I will definitely be happy. Thanks again for your amazing videos and for sharing your talent with us. Much appreciated. Kind regards, Francois” V: So, what are some things that first come to mind, Ausra? A: Well, thank you very much, Francois, for such a nice letter! We really love to hear it! Basically, I think this question is addressed to you, Vidas, because you are our technician, sort of to say, I’m just playing it. V: Do you like playing it? A: Well, yes, I like it a lot lately. V: So we can talk a little bit about our setup in terms of audio. We have this post about our Hauptwerk setup so that people can read it, but before we discuss audio, we need to clarify some things. This is probably a question that Francois posted a while ago when we didn’t have the fourth manual, right? A: Yes! V: And at the time, we were still using a MacBook Pro laptop, and now we have a Dell tower setup, so running on Windows 10, just like probably Francois is, in terms of operating system. Right Ausra? A: Yes, true. V: So, the sound for Macs is definitely better than the sound for Windows, therefore if I used in the past my MacBook Pro, I didn’t have to use any external sound cards or interface. Their internal soundcards are beautiful and work very well, except our laptop has only 16 GB of RAM, so that was enough for, let’s say, medium sized sample sets, but not enough for large sample sets. Right, Ausra? A: So, yes! But basically, if you want to play larger instruments, you have to have more space on your computer. V: More memory! A: Yes, more memory. V: Memory, meaning operating memory. Space, you can have an external disk, like we have an external drive, and we have all those sample sets loaded onto that external removable USB powered disk or drive, and then it’s just plugged into the Dell computer all the time; we don’t remove it. It has 4 TB of space, so it’s pretty large. You can do that, too, for any of the larger sample sets that you require, but you still need to figure out the RAM requirements. Right Ausra? A: Yes, because that’s what gives you the opportunity to practice on various instruments, not only one or two. V: Larger instruments such as the Rotterdam sample set that we have, or the Billerbeck Dom sample set. I guess there are some ways to run those larger sample sets on 16 GB of RAM machines, but then you have to disable many, many stops that are taking up a lot of RAM, such as stops with tremulant. When they record each pipe, each stop in the row of those pipes, those sound engineers record in several ways. So one of the ways is the normal stop, and then another way is to draw the tremulant out and play the same pitch with tremulant. Imagine, it’s very memory consuming. A: Yes, it is! And remember we had that problem with that sound delay! V: Yes, that’s because when we switched to Windows to the Dell computer, we didn’t have the external card yet, and therefore, we noticed the sound delay. Basically we pressed the key, and the sound would appear only after, let’s say, a couple of short moments. A: Yes, and it was really frustrating, because you would never hear what you play at the right moment! V: It reminded me sometimes of a bad pneumatical action instrument. You know, when the sound really is late. It’s called latency, actually, and you can actually adjust this latency within the Hauptwerk setup, but it wasn’t enough with the internal sound card that the Dell computer has, so we ordered an external sound card, and it works now more or less ok. Right, Ausra? A: Yes, I got used to it now. It doesn’t bother me anymore. V: Still, we had to adjust the latency a little bit, because you can do minimal, instantaneous latency, right? But then there is a danger of sound glitches. Basically, if you play many stops together or many keys together, like 4 parts in one hand, 4 parts in another hand, or even if you play with organ duet texture like we do with Ausra, then you use lots and lots of sounds at the same time, and then if you have minimum latency, like zero, instant latency, then there are some sound glitches, like sound truncating sounds. And this is not nice! Right, Ausra? A: Yes, it wasn’t really nice when it happened. V: Especially when playing very loud. A: That’s true. V: I thought maybe that it was a Presonus loudspeaker thing, but it’s not! It’s this latency adjustment. So I adjusted, made it a little bit bigger, so now there is this minimum delay, still, it’s almost invisible, but now it can manage large amounts of sounds almost without any glitches. A: Yes, now it works actually pretty well. V: Yeah, we got used to it. It was frustrating at first, right Ausra? A: True. V: The pedal board. Yeah… I understand why some people first invest into keyboards and only later invest in the pedalboards, because our pedalboard costs what… about 1500€. That’s about more than 10 times as much as the Nektar Impact GX61 keyboard. A: But you know, if I would have to pick out one part of our Hauptwerk, yes all this setup, my favorite part would be that Viscount pedalboard. I really like it. It’s actually really good. V: Understandable, that’s why it’s pricey. It’s a Viscount 30 note pedalboard, and it’s very convenient, elegant, and reminds me of a real organ. It has springs, and it has resistance like a real organ, whereas the Nektar keyboards are very resistance-free. No resemblance to any tracker action instruments. So, that’s why they are very cheap, quite reliable, right? They will last for a long time, probably, and quite affordable for starters. Right, Ausra? A: Yes, true. V: But down the road, probably, everyone’s dream is to have a tracker action keyboard, even on the Hauptwerk setup. A: Yes, but actually, that first Nektar keyboard has served us for a few years already. Because remember, you bought it in order to be able to compose using the Sibelius program. V: Yeah, and that’s why I stuck to Nektar brand, because our first midi keyboard controller was Nektar! It worked pretty well for Sibelius purposes, and I didn’t actually look for anything else. So, it’s very affordable and good for starters. Our students have been also acquiring Nektar keyboards as well for their practice. Hopefully they will set up some Hauptwerk capability with their computer, and practice from home. A: Yes, that’s the nice thing about it. V: Yes. Before we end, maybe we could actually talk about the Presonus monitors. Do you hear low sounds on those monitors? A: Yes, but maybe not as well as I would do in like a real church in the real organ. V: So, they’re also quite affordable as you see in the pricing in the example, and they reproduce all the range of sounds pretty well, but if you want like 32’ stops to be able to be heard, then Presonus works, too. Obviously, we hear those Subbass sounds and 32’ Trumpets and Posaune Stops, definitely there is no silence when you play those low stops, but probably they would sound more realistic if you had something else more suitable for extra low sounds. But for our purposes, it works pretty well. Right? A: Yes, I think it works well. V: So, I guess this answers Francois’s question. And please send us more of your questions, guys, we love helping you grow. And remember, when you practice, A: Miracles happen.

Vidas: Hello and welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast!
Ausra: This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better organist. V: We’re your hosts Vidas Pinkevicius... A: ...and Ausra Motuzaite-Pinkeviciene. V: We have over 25 years of experience of playing the organ A: ...and we’ve been teaching thousands of organists online from 89 countries since 2011. V: So now let’s jump in and get started with the podcast for today. A: We hope you’ll enjoy it! V: Hi guys! This is Vidas. A: And Ausra. V: Let’s start episode 596 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Dan, and he writes: “Hi Vidas, I hope you and Ausra are doing well in your part of the world. Things are going well here. I’ve had to stop getting instruction for the time being from the local organist that’s working with me, due to how things are with this world-wide pandemic. I’m still working away here though, on my hauptwerk VPO, and it’s good I’ve got that here to still work on stuff. I’m working on Buxtehude’s prelude, fugue and chaconne in c, BuxWV137, and as well as Carson Cooman’s tuba tune. I think you’ve had Carson on the podcast a couple times. I was going to participate in an organ recital with other organ students from the area I’m in, on the 28th of March, and play the Grand Choeur in B-flat major by Dubois, but that got postponed as well. I notice you’ve gotten into Hauptwerk as well, which is cool. What’s the sample set you’re using? it sounds like a nice one, that I might be interested in getting a hold of. A link to it would be appreciated. Take care, and stay safe.” V: So, Ausra, what sample sets are we using? A: Well, to rephrase Dan’s question, I would say tell me which set you are not using, because now we are using so many of them. V: But there are a few that you like more than others, right? A: Yes, actually I like only two of them so far. V: But you haven’t tried all of them that we have, yet. A: Well, but I tried many out of them, so… V: So, before we expanded our Hauptwerk into three manuals and later four manuals, we used a lot, “Velesovo” sample set by Sonus Paradisi. A: Yeah, it’s actually really well done, I think. V: It could be said about most of the sample sets by Sonus Paradisi. This is the leading sample set maker on the market today, I think. I mean, there are others that are very good as well, but I haven’t been disappointed with any of his stuff that I tried. But Velesovo, yes, we have the surround version of it. “Surround”, meaning in the church where this organ stands, there are more than two microphones. Two microphones are set near the organ, then two microphones are somewhere in the middle of the church, and maybe two more are at the back of the church. Larger organs have six microphones’ or eight microphones’ surround version. It’s called 8-channel surround or 6-channel surround like this. Right Ausra? A: Yes, true. V: Do you like surround more than let’s say “semi-dry” or “dry” or “wet” version where you add artificial reverberation on your Hauptwerk software but don’t use the church environment. A: Well, of course surround sounds much better. V: Of course, surround version takes up more RAM on your computer. A: True, and if you don’t have enough space in your computer, you might get the sound delay, which is very, very annoying. V: And space in your computer is different from RAM. RAM is the memory that you’re using to operate the program right now. On our MacBook Pro, we have 16GB of RAM. And this is enough to run Velesovo and other medium sized sample sets. Of course, if you want to use larger sample sets, at least 32GB of RAM are recommended if you’re getting a new computer specifically for Hauptwerk. And we have actually bought a new Dell computer and expanded it from 8GB of RAM, which was the default version, into an additional 64GB of RAM, which makes it total to 72GB of RAM. A: Well, Vidas is so excited about all this, his Hauptwerk project, but I’m not, because I don’t think this investment will ever pay off. V: It will pay off in 500 years. A: No, because all this stuff like computers and all these midi keyboards, they will get old pretty soon. V: That’s true. A: It’s not like our tracker, two-stop tracker. V: But this software will remain, the Hauptwerk version, you can use it for years! If you need to change the processor, you can, you know, just buy a new part of it, not necessarily the whole thing. You know? A: You know, there’s only one benefit of it, I think—during Quarantine. Otherwise I would never have started to use it. V: For people who don’t record their playing and don’t share it with the world, having 30 stop samples, which is in the surround version Velesovo, very nice two manual organ—medium sized organ—but very colorful stops and could be used for a variety of Baroque music, as well as Romantic music apparently, too, because it has a lot of foundational stops, 8’ stops, too. This is especially nice. But for people who don’t put their work online, then what’s the point? Right, Ausra? A: True. V: Unless they want to hear that organ in their practice room, which is also nice. A: In general, I think if you have a previously well built organ technique, then it’s okay for some times practice on the midi keyboard, especially on ours because it doesn’t have any resistance, so otherwise, if you are just a beginner or you have poor technique, you might ruin it on playing such a keyboard. V: Yeah. Hauptwerk is like an ongoing project, and we’ve been just chatting with James Flores, our friend from Australia. And he also started with just midi keyboards custom assembled, not necessarily the thing that he has today from Johannus—three manual organ setup. I don’t think he has tracker-action manuals on his Johannus, but some organs have. You can imitate this resistance, which is much more expensive, I think, than what we have. Right, Ausra? A: True. In general, I think that this Hauptwerk thing is sort of like a contagious disease. V: It’s the future, I think. It’s a natural technological development. And since I’ve been involved with technologies, since I’ve got back from the United States, or I should say we got back from the United States, in 2007 I started writing a blog in Lithuanian, in 2010 I started my YouTube channel, in 2011 I started the organduo.lt website, then later Ausra joined… you know, I was very interested as to how organ art can be incorporated with technology. So, it’s just a natural extension of my activities, I think, Hauptwerk. It’s basically… eventually I would have traveled this road, I think, sooner or later. I think it’s joined Hauptwerk movement sooner than rather later, this way, right? A: Well, you can hear that Vidas is addicted already. What else can I say. V: You know, what can I say? There are good addictions and there are bad addictions. I think it’s better to become addicted to good addictions than to bad, right? A: Well, yes, but you consider that, that yesterday, when I realised, we added a fourth keyboard, I might have gotten a heart attack. V: No, it was just a nice surprise for you. A: For me, yes? Anyway, with my height, I cannot reach that fourth manual, so... V: That’s why I ordered a new music stand on the table, and not on the floor, which will be very convenient. I promise. A: Somehow I doubt it, but anyway (UPDATE: by the time we have published this podcast episode, our new music stand arrived and it's quite nice). V: It was supposed to be a surprise for you. I invited Ausra to play a duet, and she was very busy with other stuff, and when she sat down on the organ bench, she didn’t notice a difference from three manuals to four, because three is a lot already. Right? And I agree. It’s really not that big of a difference. When you have two, and then suddenly three, the difference is very obvious. But from three to four, or from four to five, it’s not that big of a difference. Don’t worry, I won’t get the fifth. A: Yes. I hope so. V: No, no.. it’s… A: I want to be able to sleep at night. Not worrying about wasting our money. V: You can play any type of repertoire on four keyboards comfortably. The fifth manual is only for echo, for fanfares, for those things. And none of our sample sets have five keyboards... so far. A: Anyway guys, I don’t think you need to have four keyboards, or even three keyboards. V: Ooooooh? A: Unless you are extremely well known concert—international concert organist. V: What if you wanted to, let’s say, play Franck, or Widor, or let’s say German Romantic. A: You can mange on a two manual instrument. V: You can… A: Well enough… V: Yes. But think about the future. If a person gets hooked on Hauptwerk, and he or she invests in a two manual organ setup, wouldn’t it be wise to get a three manual right away? A: Well, I don’t think this quarantine will last forever, and I think people can go back to practice on a real organ. V: In churches, right? A: In churches, yes. V: True. I will definitely go to St. John’s Church to play our three manual church organ… A: I already doubt it. V: Why? A: Because you’re so much used to playing Hauptwerk. V: I will play Hauptwerk, too. I will play both organs! They don’t… that actually… they work very well with each other. A: Will you find time for anything else, then? V: Like what? A: Anything. If you will practice on Hauptwerk, you will practice at St. John’s… V: I will have to go practice on the tracker organ, because my job is university organist! I will have to go to church and play and perform there and maintain that instrument. It’s just not today. Not right now. So there is no problem with that. Just like you will go to school to teach physically, right? I will go to church, maybe at the same time as you. A: I’m not so sure if I will go back to teach at the school. V: Yes, you are very… you like teaching on line? A: Well, I like not teaching at all. V: You don’t miss teaching? A: No, not at all. V: If you had to choose to teach at school or to play Hauptwerk, what would be your choice? A: Well, I would play Hauptwerk. V: Listen guys, we have a convert now to Hauptwerk! You just have to feel the pressure point, the pain point. Ausra is really having a hard time teaching at school sometimes, and she also doesn’t like playing Hauptwerk plastic keyboards, like we have today. But what does she not like more, teaching or plastic keyboards? It’s a good question. So, but for Dan, I think, to have an organ at home doesn’t hurt. Right? And Velesovo sample set is very nice. Depending on if you have a larger computer with larger RAM, we also recommend very much other larger sample sets by Sonus Paradisi, such as Rotterdam Laurenskerk church, the Main organ. There are two sample sets. The Transept Organ and the Main Organ. The Transept organ is a Baroque organ, a little bit smaller—not very small but I think a three manual organ. But the main organ in the gallery that we use is a one-of-a-kind Marcussen organ from 1973, four manuals, and that’s why we got the fourth manual, too. A: Yeah. V: There are some other sample sets we could recommend, but not right now, because we haven’t tried them just yet. I should say that I like, kind of, the German one, Billerbeck Dom, it’s called, also by Sonus Paradisi. Billerbeck Dom is a town in Germany, and it has this wonderful cathedral, St. Ludger’s Cathedral, which also has a four-manual organ, and I like it very much for the French Romantic Symphonic music. A: Yes, it’s not bad. V: Remember how I played Franck’s Prelude Fugue and Variation. A: That’s right. V: Very convincing. So guys, we hope this was useful to you. Please send us more of your questions; we love helping you grow. And remember, when you practice, A: Miracles happen.

Today I was able to create a successful live-stream using native Hauptwerk sound. I haven't connected the mic yet so there is no talking. Also after some time pedal camera froze for some reason. Other than that, the Zoom Q2N 4k camera works really great. Hope you will enjoy this improvisation on Billerbeck Dom sample set by Sonus Paradisi of Hauptwerk VPO.

Today wasn't a day very suitable for practicing the organ - Vidas and I bought and installed mobile air conditioner. It took us a better half of the day and after that we were pretty tired. However, I still wanted to record something so gave this Trumpet Voluntary by Jeremiah Clarke a try. Good timing, because just as I was finished, the thunderstorm hit us and I had to shut down the computer and Hauptwerk. Let me know if you have enjoyed it!
