Topic: Blower noise...

I thought I'd put this out here because I've worked with both digital and pure organs and miss the genuine beauty of the blower which of course is part of a breathing instrument's  heart and character, seems missing in organteq.

I'd like to put this suggestion forward and would love to hear thoughts from other users so that our amazing team of developers can consider this as a possibility.

Option in Options menu for global blower on / off, or to have the blower as part of any given preset.

With the above, include blower volume, character / movement, pitch, etc.

I place this suggestion / request here because I genuinely miss the sound of a blower in a church / cathedral setting, it's sad when you walk in to a church or cathedral to find a digital organ, turn it on and it's sterile / clinical, there isn't that warm hum from the blower turbine, 3 phase bus bar and loader, etc it's gone and what used to fill the air is no more.

To have a blower randomising tone which could be mixed in to the instrument's sound as an element would be my absolute and ultimate love, it would give organteq  that final touch of realism that's missing. I love organteq 2 to bits, it's my game changer and reason for what I do now as an organ console designer for midi consoles, about to live my dream at last.

if anyone else thinks like this or has thoughts on this, I'd love to hear from you.

all the best.

I completely agree. Would be wonderful with all this you mention blower volume, character / movement, pitch, etc
I’m sure Roman can do it. Waiting for next small update 
Thank you so much lew

All the best,

Stig

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I hope that Roman and the team have a look at this and maybe try a few things out. it would really be worth it and give that extra dimension to playing. that's what's missing from today's digital organs.
