Alpha Organ的特点是在旧金山圣保罗教堂单独和一起录制了一对精美的管风琴。每个管风琴都提供了鲜明的对比，当两个管风琴同时演奏时，声音是光荣的。我们已经捕获了这两种乐器单独和一起一致，有多种麦克风类型和位置，为您提供各种审美选择。
由密苏里州圣路易斯市基尔根教堂管风琴公司制造的“较低”管风琴最初是水力驱动的，但后来被转换为电动吹风机驱动系统。控制台在靠近侧门的南岛，它的管道隐藏在祭坛后面，鼓风机和机械在半圆形殿的地板下，让最低的踏板音符在地板上共鸣，似乎动摇了地基。
上面的风琴要大得多，也要精致得多，是由旧金山的菲利克斯·f·舒恩斯坦和儿子风琴公司制造的。它排列在两个钟楼之间的夹层中，位于吊闸门和Narthex之上。第一个管风琴——我们的“阿尔法”管风琴——音色甜美柔滑，第二个管风琴——我们的“欧米茄”管风琴——在它的身体和能量上是雷鸣般的和强大的，有一个更强大的鼓风机，更大的控制台和更多的管道。
我们觉得这个空间具有非凡的声学特性，近乎神秘。每次我们在那里记录，我们都会经历一波奇怪的同步性。整个大厅似乎在歌唱，就像一件伟大的活乐器。为了纪念这个空间似乎唤起的高度陌生感，我们用非常广泛的声音设计氛围，引线，垫，无人机和自定义效果预设丰富了这个图书馆，深入研究心理声学和形而上学美学。这座教堂是由自己的亡者建造的，从1897年开始，历时20年，因1906年旧金山地震而推迟，最终于1911年完工，所用的石头是从被毁的城市中打捞出来的。它有一个郁郁葱葱，原始的质量充满宽敞的空气和水晶般的清晰度，没有一丝浑浊或过度饱和。这个混响大厅是我们非常喜欢的录音地点之一，是我们广受好评的安魂曲轻交响乐合唱团，本土乐器交响乐系列铜管合奏和独奏收藏以及许多其他经典Soundiron图书馆的所在地。

Alpha Organ features a beautifully sampled pair of pipe organs recorded individually and together at St. Paul’s Church in San Francisco, CA. Each organ offers a distinct contrast to the other and when the two are played simultaneously in unison, the sound is glorious. We’ve captured both instruments individually and together in unison, with multiple microphone types and positions to offer you a variety of aesthetic options.
The “lower” organ, built by Kilgen Church Organ Company of Saint Louis, MO, was originally water-powered, but has since been converted to an electric blower-driven system. The console is in the south isle near the side entrance and its pipes are hidden behind the altar with the blower and machinery under the floor of the Apse, allowing the lowest pedal notes to resonate through the floor, seeming to shake the very foundation.
The upper organ, far larger and more elaborate, was built by the Felix F. Shoenstein & Sons Organ company of San Francisco. It is arrayed high above the portcullis and Narthex in a mezzanine between the two bell towers. Where the first organ – our “Alpha” Organ – is sweet and silky in its tone, the second – our “Omega” Organ – is thunderous and mighty in its body and energy, with a more powerful blower, larger console and many more pipes.
We feel that this space has extraordinary acoustic properties bordering on the mystical. Each time we’ve recorded there, we’ve experienced waves of strange synchronicities. The entire hall seems to sing as if one great living instrument. To honor the high strangeness that the space seems to evoke, we’ve enriched this library with a very wide selection of sound designed ambiences, leads, pads, drones and custom effect presets, delving deeply into psychoacoustic and metaphysical aesthetics. The church was built by its own perishoners over a period of two decades, starting in 1897, delayed by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and finally completed in 1911, using stone salvaged from the ruined city itself. It has a lush, pristine quality full of spacious airiness and crystal clarity, without a hint of cloudiness or oversaturation. This reverberant hall is one of our very favorite recording locations, home to our acclaimed Requiem Light Symphonic Choir, the Native Instruments Symphony Series Brass Ensemble and Solo collections and many other classic Soundiron libraries.
Contents
We’ve packed the user interface with powerful sound-shaping controls to give you complete flexibility. Controls for volume swell, attack and release time, sample start offset, vibrato, and sound bank selection are included in all presets. The main preset also features a microphone mixer and an octave effect. The Layered preset includes 4 independent sound layers, each with a full set of parameters that can be linked, automated and customized. The first three layers are the Close (Mic 1), Mid (Mic 2) and Far (Mic 3) microphone positions. The fourth layer is the Ambiences layer. We used various sound-design tricks to morph the sounds from our journey into 30 different tonal and dissonant pads, synth-tones and ambient dreamscapes. They can be played by themselves, or used to add texture and body to the primary sounds.
In the advanced settings pull-down window, you’ll also find an adaptable per-layer LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 13 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, mod-wheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator features a built-in velocity sequencer table and control over arp direction, note timing, swing, randomization and duration. The built-in modular FX rack window offers 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phase, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes 99 of our own convolution reverb impulse presets. We’ve captured a huge variety of different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, along with 139 unique, strange and creative special effect impulses to completely transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility.
