Nevertheless it’s impractical for most persons to have a real organ at home and it’s in such situations that a virtual organ can be very valuable. Not the least important reason is that, even if it’s available at only a fraction of the cost of a real pipe organ, it can sound very convincing indeed.

My hopes are that vpo’s and my efforts with them will help more people enjoy the wonderful instrument that the Organ really is.

Impulse response recordings

Here you can, for free, download archives of impulse response recordings I have made in different churches. The original recordings are processed by me in Audacity and now released into public domain in the hopes that they can be useful. Each archive contain versions for 16 and 24 bit, at both 44100 and 48000 Hz samplerate, as well as in the original stereo and in mono mix downs (this means there’ll be quite a few files in the archives!). The mono mixdowns were made in slightly different ways so they might differ somewhat compared to the original stereo versions. Use whatever you think sound good!
