St Just in Roseland Organ

September 23, 2019

General improvements, performance enhancements.  Fixed labelling on Twelfth stop (Twelfth is 3rd harmonic, so is 2 2/3' rather than 2 1/3'). Fix for audio distortion at 48kHz on certain devices.

The default piston registrations have been reprogrammed to ensure there are no CPU overloads on very old devices such as iPad 2 and iPod Touch 5G. Additionally the in-app help system has transition away from html to a readable PDF, which is available as an independent download from the Omenie website.

This version improves synthesis performance on older devices, specifically those running iOS 9 by supporting multicore synthesis. iPad 2 and 1st generation iPad Mini users can now pull out far more stops and couplers and still get a reliable performance. A new red LED has been introduced to the user interface to give at-a-glance feedback to swell pedal setting - its brightness reflects how open the swell pedal is. It also flashes briefly if any reverb changes are sent via MIDI to give visual feedback. The behaviour of the three Division LEDs existing lamps has been changed. They now flash only on NoteOn rather than on any detected MIDI signal, and they now reflect the coupler settings, so if Swell to Great is pulled both Swell and Great will flash if notes are sent to Great. A couple of bugs have been removed that could have resulted in erroneous triggering of the crescendo functionality when certain notes were played, for certain assignments of MIDI channels. MIDI control over individual stops has been introduced, geared towards the use of Novation LaunchPad devices.

For this release, after user feedback we have subtlely rebalanced the voices. AudioBus / IAA has been fixed. Experimental support for LaunchPad stop control is in place. ‘Foot Controller’ CC 4 added to list of available controller numbers for Swell and Crescendo. The Piston Program button is now doubled up as a MIDI panic button - touch it, and any hung notes will be cancelled.

A revised swell pedal system incorporating multiple chained low-pass filters, to give a more authentic frequency response to swell changes.

This version now supports MIDI control for all the stops, couplers and the pistons, allowing all performance controls to be mapped onto MIDI and enabling a 100% 'hands off the screen' experience. Stop control and pistons are mapped to Note On commands to support drum pads on keyboards and Novation LaunchPad or similar 'array of buttons' controllers. Additionally explicit control over the sample rate of synthesis is provided to handle potential confusion caused by some modern 48kHz devices.

A version fixes a problem with 'audio route changes' accompanied by a sample rate change e.g plugging into Quicktime for Movie Capture, or swapping in an out certain headphones. This was causing either either a drift from concert pitch or audio distortion, both now fixed.

Now better and more realistic than ever! * A new 'Compensate EQ' setting allows the app to sound even more like the real organ than previously. * The built-in piston settings have been refined to offer maximum playability on a single manual. * An 'ORGAN VOLUME' slider within setting allows the overall instrument volume to be increased (if things are too quiet) or backed off if the organ starts to saturate. Some settings have been rationalized. The app's icons and splash screens have been updated to reflect the St Just in Roseland Organ's iconic - and huge - green pipes.

STOPS : The Gamba 8' and Celeste 8' were erroneously tuned to a 4' pitch, this is now corrected The Principal 4' has been updated with the correct wavetables Great Fifteenth and Great Mixture levels now more accurately match the real organ PISTONS : Pistons now have numeric legends for easier identification 'Selected piston' is shown brighter for easier identification Piston behaviour modified slightly to allow faster re-application of a piston to the console GENERAL : A volume control for the instrument (reflected in Great CC 7) is exposed in Settings

This version is a minor refresh to fix a 'stuck note' bug in Auto Pedal / Lowest Octave.
