A virtual sound model of the historic organ from the Church of the Holy Trinity in Smekno (Czech Republic).
This instrument is generally considered a Renaissance instrument. However, most of the regal pipes were destroyed during the Swedish occupation in 1631. The instrument was subsequently restored and supplemented with Röckpositiv stops. As a result of subsequent reconstructions and additions, the organ acquired the characteristics of a Czech Baroque instrument.
The virtual organ model can be downloaded in two acoustic modes: Dry and Wet (i.e., with a dry sound or in the acoustics of a church space).
This version of the instrument is distributed without sample encoding and can be played in Stereo or Surround format for Hauptwerk in the Evaluate or Free Edition.
The superbly crafted virtual model of Smecno is a worthy instrument for those seeking the authenticity of the old masters.
The organ workbench is available in two versions: Renaissance (Original) and with the addition of Baroque registers (Röckpositiv) (Extended).
Note:
The Renaissance version of the download features the original intonation of the pipes (Original Organ Temperament) and can easily be changed to a tuning familiar to the modern ear in the Pitch HW menu.
