Awesome, Paul. Unbelievable what one can do with computers now. Sounded like you were playing in a cathedral. Love your work. Congrats on your new apartment. Best of luck to you there. Don H Ocala, Florida USA
Gefeliciteerd met je nieuwe plek Paul. En idd, "dat s Heeren zegen op uw daal" (ps 134) jij bent al een zegen voor ons met je muziek die je aan ons laat horen. Dank je hier voor.
First, moving is one of the best and worst experiences at the same time. Excited for the new place, but not liking to pack up and move everything. But you do discover things you forgot you had...keyboards as an example!! Love your creativity and technical ingenuity!
Congratulations on your new 2 level apartment. It looks spacious. Hope the organ will be moved quickly. I marvel at how easily you switched the pedals to your left hand. (Organists may have been octopi in other existences)! From Chicago, U.S.A.
glad to see your Australian wooden penguin is there with the others. Fantastic to hear the Old 100th on keyboards. Best wishes your old Australian Scottish friend.
Hallo, lieber Paul. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem neuen Zuhause. Schön und Groß ist dein neuer Lebensraum. Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß dort und weiterhin viel Kreativität bei deiner hervorragenden Arbeit. Alles Gute bis bald und liebe Grüße aus Görlitz sendet dir Steffen.
Absolutely great with your new apartment and studio my friend! It looks great!😁👍👍 Great that it works to play with the small keyboards until they can move the organ to you!😁👍👍
Paul....congratulations on your new apartment & studio.....hopefully you'll have many happy years there! The space looks great...lots of room for everything. It will be fun to watch them move the organ if you can arrange it.. I moved my Hammond organ & Leslie speaker from Massachusetts to Maine & all is well with it. Blessings on your wonderful music & talents. who knew you could get such wonderful organ music from the little keyboards.....today's technology is mind boggling!
@@g.k.failla9389 Actually an A-100 (same thing with internal speaker)....nice to see that some new generation Hammonds are coming back even if not exactly the same as the good old ones!
Very inventive. Amazing sound with the two small keyboards utilizing Hauptwerk. Look forward to seeing your organ move and enjoy your new larger apartment!! Your HARD work has paid off. Appreciate you, Paul.
You will want to spend the money in a few months after trying this, but this is a great option to get to know the software! If you want to go the free route, get GrandOrgue instead of HW!
@@PaulFey GrandOrgue is free? Wonderful to know! My greatest need is for a pedal board -- I have a Yamaha PSR keyboard with MIDI that I could use. Sadly, at this point I do not have either the time or funds to justify getting one yet -- with time being the greater restraint. Even if I had one, I'm afraid it would just sit there while I have to attend to other things. Perhaps at some point. I enjoy your channel and your excellent compositions and arrangements - :-)
Paul, I pray that your new apartment/ studio will enhance your musical career! You touch my heart with your passion and down to earth heart felt presentation. ❤lots of love and prayers for you in your new home, Royden
Well done, Paul, well done. I really enjoy watching/listening to your mini reel videos. Looking forward to watching and listening to more of your videosl
Wow, I do think that this was very cool. Thanks, Paul, for sharing. All the best with the move of your organ. I do believe that all will work out fine. Best regards maarten
Dear Paul! Your video about the use of midi keyboards prompted me to decide to realize the idea of a home organ, as a result I bought two 61 key midi keyboards (M-audio Axiom and Casio CTK 6200 synthesizer) on the secondary market. With difficulty I managed to install Hauptwerk, but the expectations were worth it - really real organ sound. I also tried GrandOrgue, but I didn't like it, as there were a lot of difficulties with keyboard initiation and with loading samples. During a couple of days of work with the St. Anne's organ I realized that the necessary touch for playing the organ is fundamentally different from even the various touches on the piano. I also realized the meaning of Bach's pauses - on the piano, the small length of the sound somehow allowed me not to pay much attention to this and the need to take my fingers off the keys in time. Now not theoretically, but in my own practice I realized it and the need to work seriously in this direction. But now there is a problem of making a pedal keyboard (to buy in my country is simply unrealistic). There are enough videos on RU-vid on both mechanical and electronic parts of such a foot keyboard, but my question concerns the presence or absence of gaps of about one key between the keys H and C and between E and F. From your experience, which is better, a foot keyboard with or without gaps? Thank you so much for your upbeat videos and advocacy of organ music!!!
@@VladimirGrishkovets Ooooh, I‘m so happy to hear that - that‘s absolutely amazing! 😀 The gap-question is completely up to personal preference. I‘ve just checked and my organ has it and I think most of the real instrument also have a gap of about 1 pedal in between the H and C, so it would probably be good to have it in your build as well 😀
@@PaulFey Paul, thank you so much for such a quick response!!! I have also noticed that a number of organists use heels on their shoes, while others, like you apparently, prefer no shoes at all. What is your advice on this matter? I'm trying to play fragments from what I play on the piano (from the first, second, and fifth keyboard toccatas BWV 913 914 911, the introduction from the second partita BWV 826). I downloaded the organ version of the small fugue G-moll (578) - I realized how much easier the organ version (the original) is for hands than the piano transcription - well, only of course there is the problem of pedal keyboard (or having an assistant who will play the foot part on a small midi keyboard). Once again, thank you so much for your reply and attention!!!
@@VladimirGrishkovets The educational opinion on wearing shoes is, that you can reach certain pedals better and also use heel-and-toe playing more efficiently. That‘s true! But for most of the literature many people, and me, are playing there isn’t a huge need for complex pedal movements, so it also works without shoes 😀
@@PaulFey Paul, thank you so much for your reply! Starting my probably difficult journey in mastering the organ repertoire, I already understand how many difficulties await me, but I want to be able to really change the sound of the music, which is almost impossible on the piano, even with different touch in Baroque, Classical and Romantic repertoire. If you can recommend something from the organ repertoire to start with that may sounds without a pedal keyboard (which will take a long time to make, if I decide to do it at all), I would be very grateful! I would put a hundred likes, but can only one....Your sincere subscriber.
This is EXACTLY what I'd like to assemble; except without "tiny" in the KB selection. Do you have any suggestions for keyboard(s) that I would be happy with?
I pre-saved the more quiet registration and just clicked the sequencer button with the mouse. The last verse is the grand tutti so there was a button for that as well 😀
