Topic: OrganTEQ Historical Organs - A Closer Look

After criticizing the presets of the OrganTEQ organs in the French Romantic and German Baroque sections in this thread https://forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php?id=13371 because of their choice of stops and presets, I would now like to point out that this criticism does not apply to the Historical section.

Here, the combinations of stops and the presets are really well designed and very practical to use.

So, here are a few recordings. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be going through the different organs, starting with the Alsacian Organ I (Strasbourg, St-Thomas – 1741).

My own rule: No personal registrations all combinations are taken directly from the presets provided with the organ.

And now, enjoy listening! I’ll post the next organ here in about a month.

Hi Klangpost,

First, I want to thank you for your great ideas on how to develop Organteq stops. Modartt reads what we write, and we users are important to them as sources of feedback, advice, and suggestions.

I have also played/recorded chorales using all the historical organs, though I’ve likely tweaked the presets a bit. Here is an example — a chorale where I probably started with Combination 5 in Alsacian Organ I (Strasbourg, St-Thomas – 1741).

Best wishes,

Stig

Re: OrganTEQ Historical Organs - A Closer Look

Very nice summary, from a preset perspective I enjoyed the first (Präludium in F) the most and the last one the 2nd most.

Also great to example the different sounds, thanks for sharing!

It’s really great to see this positive follow-up Klangpost! Sticking strictly to the default presets is a brilliant approach—it truly demonstrates how well-curated the Historical section is right out of the box.

The Alsacian Organ I (St. Thomas) handles this repertoire beautifully. Präludium in F has fantastic clarity and energy, while Durch Adams Fall highlights the rich, expressive colors of the individual stops. Even without custom tweaking, the sound is authentic and deeply engaging.

Looking forward to hearing your next showcase month!
Carmelo

I recognize the melody from your choral recording, but I can’t remember the name. Could you give me a quick hint?
