Die virtuelle Konsole

Disposition

Organ temperament:
Equal temperament at a1=440 Hz unfortunately probably sice 19th century
The virtual organ was therefore set back to mean tone temperament!

Manual compass:
F, G, A - g2, a2

Pedal compass:
C - d
c - d  repeated from lower octave
Pedal fixed coupled to manual

Note:
The Carboni organ sound is based on Principale 16'  (historically named:  Principale 12', beginning at F)
but the  F, G, A keys are not present on modern organ compasses. Therefore organist Fabio Mancini defined a historically renamed  and reorganized version (stop names based on Principale 12', voce umana based on P12) playable in modern organ manual compass (beginning at C)

The Terzo Mano octave coupler was probably added in 18th or 19th century

Actual stop list (stop names based on Principale 8', voce umana based on P8):

Historically renamed  and reorganized stop list by Fabio Mancini (stop names based on Principale 12', voce umana based on Principale 12'):

Available organ definition files:
Carboni-P12-Meantone:
Modern adapted manual compass (C- g2, a2).
NOTE:  Historically renamed stops, Voce umana compass shifted one octave (adapted to most ancient Italian organ music). Reduced manual compass beginning with Principale 12‘ at C (usual modern organ console compass), thus F-B are not playable!!

Carboni-P12b-Meantone:
Original manual compass (F, G, A - g2, a2).
NOTE: Complete original manual compass shifted one octave to be able to play all notes on modern organ consoles (F - a2), but one octave higher than usual!

Anforderungen

¹⁾ Lossless compression (no loss of sound quality!)

²⁾ Recommended:
Minimal configuration:
Single-Core, 2 GByte main memory, WIN-XP, Vista, Windows7 or MAC OS

³⁾ To load this organ into Hauptwerk you will need enough free memory in your computer, due to the amount of playable stops, not including the operating system or any other programs that may be running!

We recommend the professional audio card RME HDSP 9632 and the AKG Reference Headphone K701 for optimal sound and room impression.
