Topic: BWV 768 for Organteq

Sequenced MIDI files for organ can sound pretty convincing contrary to the piano because of the fixed dynamics.  The fun is then to get an interesting registration. Here is one way to try to get something close to a german-type organ with a suite of eleven variations from a choral masterly composed by Bach. Since it is over 20 minutes long I had to post it to SoundCloud.

Here is the FXP: https://forum.modartt.com/file/a3rr6sxz

The ten combinations are triggered by CC 21 to 30 in a MIDI Mapping files for automatic rendering. The Control Codes are inserted in the MIDI file at the beginning of each variation.

Re: BWV 768 for Organteq

Quite beautiful!  I am starting to appreciate how the dynamic-less organ builds and subtracts with use of more and fewer notes, more and fewer stops, etc.  It's much more a sculpting of tones and less percussion and dynamics, especially for the earlier pieces.
