| Modoified 3-Manual Litomysl Organ V2 Dr. Les Deutsch |  |
| This a modified version of the popular Hauptwerk organ from the church in Litomysl, Czech Republic - a major Hauptwerk sampling project from Jiri Zurek. Because it provides a large four-manual neo-baroque concert organ at a moderate price, this sample set is one of the best-selling of all Hauptwerk organs.

I purchased the "dry" version of the Litomysl organ for my own use and I developed a jOrgan console for it as discussed in the theater organ project above. However, I wanted to make further modifications to the Litomysl design so I decided to create a completely new Hauptwerk organ using the samples provided with the Litomysl set.

The specifications of my 3-manual Litomysl organ are:

| I removed the Bombardewerk division, placed the 32' reed in the pedal, the 8' reed in the Positive (voiced as a chamade), and the 16' and 4' reeds in the Schwelwerk. I moved the 8' reed from the Hauptwerk to the Schwell work and revoiced all the Scwellwerk reeds to work as a convincing ensemble. I revoiced the Positiv Krummhorn to make it more of a solo voice that can be used to boost the ensemble.

I disgarded the "Great Cornet" since I could not see any use for it. I also got rid of the key and stop noise samples to save memory and make the organ run more smoothly. This is, of course, a matter of taste. I am not trying to recreate the sound of the original organ but rather I am trying to create a good performance and recording instrument for my own use.

There were not enough reeds to give the Hauptwerk an independant chorus so I provided borrowing from the Positiv and Schelwerk to substitute here.

I "deepened" the Schwelwerk box to give it more expression. I also added a swell box for the Positiv. I left the Tromp Real out of the box as expected for a chamade rank.

I added a second borrowed stop from the Hw to the Pedal - the 16' Bourdon - to provide some variety.

I added a 4' version of the Swelwerk Oboe in the pedal to use as a solo reed independant from the Swelwerk's regsitration.

I created a 4' Blockflote in the Swelwerk to complete the cornet. The first octave comes from the existing 2' flute and the remainder from the 8' flute.

Finally, I added a more complete compliment of couplers and general revoicing to bring everything in what, to me at least, seams like a proper ballance.

My screens all fit on a 15" 1024 x 768 pixel display. I had to create rectangular "stop buttons" to make the console view fit and still provide large enough stop controls for good real-time performance control on the touchscreen.
