Muse Pipe Organ Reviews
The Pipe Organ lib basically enables writing for Pipe Organ with playback altogether, as the MS Basic Playback isn't really of any use. For the price, it also sounds quite good. The sound selection with Staff Text ist nice, BUT what really bugs me is that the Pipe Organ instrument doesn't default to using the Pipe Organ sound, which is because there are actually two new Mixer Sounds, one for Manual and one for Pedal. This means that you need two instruments, and following also, when you upload your score, its a "Mixed Duet". A suggestion for a fix would be that the Pipe Organ instrument adds two mixer channels by default who have the respective sounds but there is only one instrument overall.
So, yes, i was struggling with pipe organ sounds into musescore. I tried everything, like vst or things like that. This library just get it *almost* right. It sounds really Good, it responds really Good, but there's a lot to make better, mostly within the Dynamic ranges and volume. Hope it will get better with updates!
This literally makes me feel like I'm in a cathedral setting. It sounds so spectacular!
Not working on linux - I am very disappointed.
Developer Response: Hi there, MuseSounds are not currently supported by Linux. We apologize for the inconvenience.
So far MuseSounds' Pipe Organ has proved very well recorded and easy to use! Though, I would love to some extension to the library of less standard stops in the future. For example 32' pipes for the pedals would be incredibly helpful for the power I'm looking to emulate in my music..
The Muse Pipe Organ sounds very nice, however, some of the presets are far too quiet. One example is the Choir Gedect preset. Make sure to fix this in the next update.
I'm impressed. This is one of Muse's best libraries. The organ is perfectly recorded, the audio levels are good and the presets are easy to use. The presets with swell are very useful to balance the organ sounds. When I replaced this organ with what I used to compose my score, the only problem I had was this organ does not play below C2, so I had to move some of the pedal notes up an octave. The pedal still sounds great without 32' pipes. You can't do better for the price of this library.
I like the list of the organ stops, you did a really good job in putting them in, but why can't you just put in every individual stop? It would make my organ music sound better that way. Please, put in every individual stop from the organ.
Developer Response: Thanks for your suggestion. Maybe in an update. The instrument would be massive with every stop and the Sound Flags would be a mile long!
Pipe organ has large arsenal of stops. Plenum is powerful and sounds great. Only issue I have is that dynamics have to be adjusted manually with the presets, which is something Union Chapel Organ has an advantage over. If it's ever possible, full dynamic implementation like Spitfire Audio's organ would be cool to see.
Yes
I have downloaded recently, it is an very good Church organ , all sounds are very well captured !
nvm, I take what I said, I removed my negative comment as promised, Musescore was just tweaking a bit.
We certainly accorded to say that the default Musescore organ sound is so worst. So this VST is the best ! We can choose registration and have a great sound. Of course it is a little bit "artificial" because it is a computer who's playing but it permite to have a more credible sound to compose etc. (the default sound is so until…). Nevertheless, i think it could be pretty better if we could change the text on the sheet because the titles of registers are so long and not really "organisticaly" traditional. A really great VST that I didn't hesite to buy !
