Hauptwerk 1.20
Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP

Hauptwerk is a computer simulation of a pipe organ for the PC, playable by MIDI. 
Different pipe organs can be loaded into the program and you can sample and create 
your own.

It differs from most software synths and samplers in that a large (3-5 second) sample 
is loaded for EVERY PIPE in the organ, which may well amount to several thousand 
samples and several hours of audio, but gives extremely realistic results.

You will need a fairly powerful modern computer to use it; an absolute minimum 
specification is a Pentium III 450 MHz with 128 MB of RAM. To use the largest organ 
currently available you would need a Pentium 4 1.5 GHz with 700 MB of RAM.

The default download includes only a test organ with a single pipe. To use the 
program you will also need to download a set of organ files. Those files are 
EXTREMELY LARGE downloads. You can also purchase the program, complete with 
organ files on a CD.

Further details and organ file downloads are available on the Hauptwerk website:

System requirements:
 Minimum PC spec.: P3 450 MHz, 128 MB RAM.
