Description

The organ at London’s Union Chapel, built by Henry 'Father' Willis in 1877, is one of the finest in the world. Willis, a leading Victorian-era organ builder, also built the organs at the Royal Albert Hall and St Paul’s Cathedral. The Union Chapel Organ remains largely unaltered, with minor changes including the replacement of the Choir Gemshorn 4ft by a 2ft Piccolo in 1909, electric blowing in the 1920s, and a balanced swell pedal in the 1940s. Fully restored by Harrison & Harrison in 2012-13, the original hydraulic blowing engines were also restored by James Richardson-Jones and are an alternative to electric blowing. With three manuals—Swell, Great, Choir—and a full pedalboard, this organ offers a range of sounds from flutes to trumpets and trombones, with many harmonic mixtures. You can switch between or combine different sounds for a rich, amplified character. Spitfire co-founder Paul Thomson, who grew up playing this instrument, made it a pet project to sample this exceptional organ. This unique Muse Sounds Edition is designed to work exclusively with the Muse Sounds engine found inside MuseScore Studio and StaffPad.

Still waiting for the diagnostic team to get back to me. UCO does not, does not function anything like described. In fact I am not sure that it functions at all. Disappoiunting, so far. Hoping for better product support soon.

Tiene una amplia gama de sonidos que se asemejan demasiado a un órgano. Felicitaciones y estoy muy agradecido por tal trabajo.

Aside from the contra gamba stop crashing the program, it all works great and sounds fantastic!
