Introduction Sweden and Reed Organs As a part of an extensive keyboard manufacturing industry, organ factories in Sweden may have numbered as many as three hundred between the years 1850 and 1950. Almost every little city had their own factory or workshop. The instruments were widely distributed, and they were used in churches and in classrooms for group singing.
Gothenburg Reed Organ for NI Kontakt 3,4 & 5 The file in NI Kontakt 3, 4 & 5 format requires the full version of NI Kontakt and does not work fully with the free Kontakt player! Gothenburg Page On the front page of the GUI, named “Gothenburg”, you can adjust the dynamics and stereo image of the sound. From left to right, the controls are: Envelope Attack: sets the time in milliseconds for the sound of the organ to reach full volume when a note is played.
Registers Page On the Registers page, you can choose and combine organ sounds. Each organ sound represents a unique register setting on the Gothenburg Reed Organ. The buttons and dials on the left of the page adjust the organ sounds in the Lower keyboard range, from F0 – E2 inclusive. Three sounds are available here: Euphon 4, Diapason 8, and Echo 8. The buttons and dials on the right of the page adjust the organ sounds in the Upper keyboard range, from F2 – F5 inclusive.
Modulation Page On the Modulation page, you can apply an LFO (low frequency oscillator) to the volume of the organ. Additionally, you can increase the intensity of the LFO using the modulation wheel on your MIDI keyboard. From left to right, the controls are as follows: On/Off: this button activates or deactivates the LFO. Free/Sync: this button switches the rate of the LFO between tempo-synced values and values in Hertz. Rate: sets the speed of the LFO.
FX Page On the FX page, you can shape the tone of the sound, and apply a high-quality convolution reverb. From left to right, the controls are as follows: EQ Lo Gain: sets the volume of low frequencies, between +/-6 decibels. Mid Gain: sets the volume of mid frequencies, between +/-6 decibels. Mid Freq: sets the centre of the frequencies controlled by the Mid Gain dial. Hi Gain: sets the volume of high frequencies, between +/-6 decibels.
