Installing my GrandOrgue organ



The Main organ is a modified combination of Lars Palo's Burea Church and Pitea MHS sample sets.
Those samplesets are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license, Swedish jurisdiction.

The Gallery organ is a modified version of the Kalvtrask Church organ by Lars Palo.

The Celestial organ is a modified version of the Balzan Maltese Parish organ. License details for this organ are in it's download page.

The Epistle organ is a modified version of Piotr Grabowski's Ledziny St. Clement organ. Usage for this organ can be found on his Info page.

The Chimes are from the Barton 3-7 organ. That sample set is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) License.



Memory requirements: about 9gb of RAM when loading the 24-bit samples (most are 16-bit). 8gb required when loading only 16-bit samples.
I mainly use GrandOrgue because it's free/open-source, and also runs on Linux (I use Debian).

For this instrument, it's recommended to use an audio device with multiple stereo audio outputs along with multiple sets of speakers, I've used an M-Audio Profire 610 with this that has 4 stereo outputs. If using two stereo channels, assign the Main portion to one channel and the Gallery portion to the other. The effect is much better sound.



First, create a folder for the organ, and save the thoryk_custom.organ file into it. You can download GrandOrgue itself here.


For the Main organ:

Download Burea Church at the main site, or from my mirror here

Extract Burea Church into the organ's folder, so that you end up with a "Burea_Church" folder.

Download Pitea MHS at the main site, or from my mirror in the US here

The Pitea .orgue file is simply a renamed Zip file, so it can be extracted.
Create a folder named "Pitea" and extract the Pitea archive into it (I opened it with 7-zip, and extracted it).


For the Gallery organ:

Download Kalvtrask Church at the main site, or from my mirror here

Extract the Kalvtrask Church archive into the organ's folder, so that you end up with a "Kalvtrask_Church" folder..


For the Epistle organ:

Download Ledziny St Clement

Create a folder called "LedzinyStClement" and extract into it.


For the Celestial organ:

Download Balzan Maltese

Create a folder called "Balzan_Maltese", create another folder called "wet" inside it, download the Balzan Original Wet organ, and extract into it.


For the chimes, download the Barton series here:

Download Barton from the main site, or from my mirror here, since it's under a free CC license

Copy the "Chimes" folder in the archive into the organ's folder.


Then start GrandOrgue and open the thoryk_custom.organ file, and it should all load, assuming you have enough memory to load the full instrument.
