Available for download, Organum Venezia by Best Service is a virtual instrument providing the authentic sounds of a church’s pipe organ, from the grand tones associated with a piece like Bach’s classic Toccata and Fugue (D minor), to the flute-like muted timbres which help give the pipe organ its intrinsic versatility.

The sample library has been crafted to capture not only the sound of organ’s pipes, but their corresponding ambience as well, giving you the ability to submerse yourself in the atmosphere only a pipe-organ inside of a cathedral can create. As organs traditionally have only one velocity—whose volume is ultimately controlled by a foot pedal—the resulting digital footprint of this library is comparably small at 214 MB. The interface provided by Organum Venezia is designed to mimic the look of an organ’s panel of stops, allowing you to push these stops in and blend tones. You can change the amount of ambiance and volume as well with two individual sliders.
