Hello Paul,

Thank you for the fast answer. Unfortunately you missed the fact that I already have an SSD for Great Rieger Organ (GRO) in use and not an HDD. This eliminates the problem of a slow HDD. The program and the library are already on drive C, i.e. also on the fast SSD drive. The fact that the CPU is already old and therefore not powerful enough for GRO is no reason for me. My CPU is absolutely sufficient in terms of performance. I think GRO is currently still a big resource hog and loads every other CPU so much that it leads to the symptoms I have described. There is a great video that shows that GRO should run even on a notebook with 16 GB and minimal RAM consumption. See

from 1:14 by Fabio Amurri. Is this then just a fake or is this supposed to stir the advertising drum? I actually want to keep GRO and not give it back and I hope you can get this problem under control as well. I'm really looking forward to the expected program updates.

Thank you for your dedication

Best wishes

Uwe

Hi Uwe, 

Sorry that I missed the part about the SSD. That's better then. 

We are currently working on a few performance improvements. 

Let me ask you this: How many stops are you streaming on Hauptwerk? Also 99? That's a lot of voices, 

Not sure which laptop Fabio is using, but my guess is that it's a recent Mac Book Pro. 

Best, 
Paul

Hello Paul, thank you for your answer.

In Hauptwerk 4 there are partially all stops , i.e. up to 70. In any case, I don't have any distortions or dropouts in Hauptwerk, as with GRO. I don't quite understand what you mean by voices. I see at GRO that the number of voices can go to over 600 or far more when several buttons are pressed. I don't quite understand, but it will be correct that way. What makes the distortions not only audible but also visible are the peaks colored in red. How do you define peaks? Are these audio overloads? Does this cause the distortion and dropouts? Please give me a few tips on how I can minimize this with the possible settings in GRO. I would be very grateful for that. I am sure that you are familiar with this problem and that you will soon have a solution that I am very much looking forward to. I wish you continued success. I like GRO very much. Except for this defect described. I still have one thing: The newly added register “Seventh 1 1/7” doesn't really work. Sometimes you can hear it, sometimes not. Problem is certainly also known. Many greetings from Uwe.

Hello Uwe, 

Hauptwerk is not streaming from disk, but it is loading the whole sample into RAM. The overload is a mixture of your CPU capacities (streaming and processing the samples) and your drive-speed in combination with your audio buffer size. It will get better if you: 

- increase your audio buffer size
- increase the PRELOAD size in your Vienna Organ Player SETTINGS => DATABASE
- play less stops at the same time

I have not heard about the inaudible new stop... Is there a way to reproduce this? Are you maybe loading older presets?

Best,
Paul

Hello Paul,

thank you for your tireless efforts.

I have already increased the audio buffer size on a trial basis. Seems to work, I can definitely still make friends with. The effect I described is still there, however. Maybe you still have the opportunity to improve something here. I don't want to buy another computer system at the moment, because the other music programs all run wonderfully and without problems.

There is already a contribution to the problem of Sept. 11_7 that also applies to me. Enter seventh as a search term.

Under “1. FREE UPDATE: Large Rieger Organ NOW available! 06/30/2021 20:18:34 "the post will also appear. The GRO swell is on midi channel 3 for me. When selecting channel 3, the seventh does not sound. Only when I go to midi channel 4 does the register sound. Maybe that's what you wanted? I can't imagine. Give it a try. Only select the seventh 11_7 for Schwellwerk and then control the midi channels. Up to channel 3: nothing. With channel 4: quietly audible. Nothing for channels 5, 6, etc. Problem should also arise with you. Maybe you have the solution for me. I'm looking forward to your answer. Many greetings Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Please download and install the latest Vienna Organ Player, the bug with the additional stop should be fixed under all circumstances now.

Changelog can be found here.

Does that help?

Best,
Paul

"Hello Paul, I downloaded and reinstalled the organ player. The problem persists, as described. Am I doing something wrong? Best Regards Uwe

Hi Uwe, 

I don't know what exactly you are doing, so it's hard to say if you are doing something wrong.

Please send some screenshots and maybe even your sequencer project to my collagues at support@vsl.co.at, so we can take a closer look. The more information you can provide, the better.

They speak german as well ;-)

Best, 
Paul

Hallo Paul, die Septime 11_7 wird nicht dem Schwell, sondern dem Solowerk zugeordnet. Soll dies stimmen, stimmt die visuelle Zuordnung im Vienna Player nicht. Ich habe ein paar Bilder angehängt. Gleichzeitig kontaktiere ich auch den VSL-Support. Viele Grüße Uwe

Hello Paul,

I received a satisfactory answer to my problem from vsl support. Correction is in progress. I'm looking forward to the result. Thank you again for your tireless efforts. Many greetings Uwe
