I finally finished my MIDI organ console, using two wood-topped Fatar organ "tracker touch" keyboards bought from Classic MIDI Works in Canada - https://midiworks.ca/
The pedalboard is a flat 25-note MIDI pedalboard manufactured by Hammond Organ Company for their SKX, not a nice 32-note concave radial AGO (American Guild of Organists) pedalboard, although I plan to obtain one of those in the future, if my interest in learning and playing organ grows and continues. I made the oak cabinetry myself with the help of a woodworking friend, and am pleased with the results. It wasn't a trivial expense of money and time in order to enjoy Organteq on its own terms, so to speak, with a keyboard and associated hardware more characteristic of organ, but it's nice.https://i.imgur.com/8mEelN2l.jpg
Anyway, I have begun to enjoy learning to play the organ and pedalboard using Organteq, and appreciate the ability to play such a remarkable virtual pipe organ in my own home. I remember when I was a child I was able to play several times the pipe organ at the church my grandmother was a member of, alone in the large sanctuary, impressed with the instrument and by the sound in that space.
Anyway, a word of appreciation to Modartt for Organteq. Thank you.
