Many people had lockdown projects. This is mine. I got three MIDI keyboards that were being given away, plus purchased a fourth. Bought a 32-note pedalboard which had been recycled from a Compton theatre organ.
After wiring up the pedalboard and assembling the keyboards on the desk, I got a spare PC and installed Hauptwerk. 1/ #hauptwerk #midi #VirtualPipeOrgan
It’s a digital virtual pipe organ, which allows the user to install and use different sample-sets. A sample-set contains multiple recordings of each and every pipe in an instrument.
2020 was quite a dark year for everyone, and this was my escape… it still is. I tend to play music from the French Romantic era - Widor, Vierne, Gigout. I’m not a professional by any stretch of the imagination… I did have piano lessons and got to Grade 6, and had an organ scholarship for two years. 2/
Last night I got my Peertube instance up and running.

Note, the above is a practice session - it’s nowhere near perfect… but I’m enjoying the process and the challenge. #hauptwerk #midi #VirtualPipeOrgan
