Feature requests

^^ That too!  And by extension, other wind-chest simulation features.

15. Add a copy of the "Condition" slider from Pianoteq to gently, randomly detune/age the instrument.

#17.
Possibility to remove the manuals (and the pedal board) to show only the important elements like stops and couplers. But on the other hand for better readability the stops with full name.
BTW: who needs to see the virtual keyboards while playing an organ?

Do as in PianoTeq, add the button "Virtual Keyboards" to display or hide keyboards !

18. Add in the options, a checkbox to display or no longer display the message telling you that you are in trial version, that some keys are deactivated and that the instruments will become silent in 20 minutes in OrganTeq and PianoTeq...

Would it be possible to add a metronome for those who practice with headphones?

For embedded applications, such as to add some digital stops to a pipe organ (using a Linux box), we would need a way of tuning OrganTeq to the pipes.  That's just a matter of supporting MIDI Master Fine Tuning (a Universal Real-time message).   We (CLASSIC Organ Works) have a simple MIDI processor pcb that can mix input from a Tuning pot, and a Temperature sensor, to generate Master Fine Tuning SysEx messages.

Also, it would be nice to have multi-channel output support - 16 or more output channels via USB3 to an external DAC would be nice.  Such as the Cymatic Audio LP16

A few 32' stops in the Pedal would be useful.

I think running on Linux (for reliability), and driving it via MIDI note on/off and stop control messages, would make a super cost-effective way to add 1-25 digital stops to a pipe organ!

And yes, that would be very nice, particularly if we could further "localize" the console layout and text based on German Baroque, American Symphonic or Theatre, and English Symphonic organ consoles in addition to the terraced French layout we currently have.

Hi, I'm a long-time Hauptwerk user, but decided to try Organteq instead, having not found many sample sets that work well in my home practice environment. I have to say that I'm very impressed so far...

I use a Launchpad Mini to control features of Hauptwerk - which is able to toggle the lights on the touchpad on and off in response to button presses (this is done by sending MIDI messages to the Launchpad).

Launchpads work well with Organteq but - of course - the lights don't toggle. Might extend the reach of Organteq a bit if you could make it work with such hardware.

I am building an TouchOSC design for the organ, but this sits on a device (eg a tablet) that by design does not tend to stay lit for long periods, or it you force it to do so, will go flat unless plugged into a power-supply or computer and is also somewhat less robust than a launchpad or similar MIDI controller. You also need to install bridging software to get the MIDI messages through to Organteq, so not quite so convenient to use either.

Just a thought, anyway!

Both are probably correct. See http://www.organstops.org/n/Nasard.html

Yes, I see Nasard more commonly while around German and some French organs (and I support the German "Nase" etymology theory because it's how I feel about the pipe sound in bad registrations), while I've only ever seen it spelled Nazard in the States.  They should be interchangeable in essential function and sound, but they might not be exactly identical between one organ design/tradition or another.

I know on the 1903 Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Metz Cavaille-Coll, it's spelled Nazard and on the 1902 Église Saint-Eucaire Cavaille-Coll (also in Metz), it's spelled Nasard.  So either that means Charles Mutin (who oversaw organ building at Cavaille-Coll after 1900) wanted the 1903 organ to show that it was being renovated and still used Baroque pipes or design on the stop (and showed that with a different spelling as the 1902 organ was completely new), the new pipes were designed or tuned slightly differently than were used on the 1902 organ (which is very possible with fifths depending on how you want them to balance), or he couldn't keep his own spelling consistent on two organs in the same city built with a two year period.

A small but special feature request: A stop named ”Noli me tangere” (do not touch me).
     
     In 1966 I played an organ with the stop Noli me tangere, build by Hans Heinrich (came to Finland and started organ factory, have built about 183 pipe organs). I couldn’t help but try the stop - and out came an awful sound, I jumped a bit :-) I think it was 4 or 5  stops combined as a dissonance sound cacophony, inharmonious sound. I pushed it back immediately. I think it is in the group disappearing stops now days, have not seen it since then. But therefore would be a nice joke in Organteq, a curiosity - not what people expect…..:-)

Until we are allowed to create our own ranks, I would like to see some wooden pipes included.

My understanding is yes and it's one of the next major features they're working to add.  According to previous posts from the devs, there were some implementational issues and overhead issues with voicing and micro-tuning that prevented those features being available at launch.

As a side note, I've wondered about a solution that temporarily "bakes" some pipes/ranks into RAM as samples to reduce processor overhead with larger registrations.

I'm not sure that GPU acceleration will be coming soon to either PTQ or OTQ because of cross-OS and cross-brand issues (CPU instructions are fairly universal whereas GPU instructions aren't nearly as standardized, and I don't know if the float precision of consumer-grade GPUs could create audio artefacts that a CPU wouldn't), but I'd love to see GPU support!
