Wonderful tones and impressive interface. Confusing stop names.

I wish the names of the stops were given in full as opposed to their abbreviations. It’s clearly an app intended for those that know what they’re doing. I am not one of those people and the app in that regard isn’t hugely helpful. It certainly doesn’t hold your hand. But I guess that’s not the target audience, which is fair enough. Thank you for making this app though, very cool and very impressive.

Muito bom

Ótima interface, ótimos timbres! Senti falta apenas de mapeamento MIDI pra acionar os registros. No geral, é um excelente app para organistas!

Cannot choose any stops.

When I touched the organ console, it didn’t show any stops because of a glitch that made it impossible to choose any stops. It happened days ago!

Can’t tweak

Locks up when I go to the stops page no visible controls just a blank cabinet on iPad Pro M1 chip I use it sparingly and sounds great but wish I could build my own presets

I love the pipe organ!

I like the organ from Disney's "The Haunted Mansion", in Magic Kingdom, in Walt Disney World.

The latest version consuming huge battery resources

I am using ipad mini 2

Spectacular design

However, sample quality could be cleaner. Some distortion audible through amplification.

iCrash

Do not but it will crash on your in about 10 seconds

Flute

I would like a more flute like stop. A sweet earthy flute.

iCatedral Orgel

Der Klang in sich ist OK, nur zum Üben zu Hause, ev. für einige kleine Aufnahmen wenn man einen Kirchenorgel Sound braucht. Zum live spielen leider meine Meinung nach nicht geeignet, da die Schaltung zwischen den Presets dauert's zu lange und sehr oft blieb noch der Resthall nach dem Umschalten vom letzten Preset. Der Preis, ich denke etwas zu hoch.

Response from developer

Die Hall Einstellung wird als Teil eines Presets mit abgespeichert und kann dementsprechend jederzeit in den Presets ersetzt werden. Bei weiteren Fragen oder Anregungen können Sie uns gerne direkt schreiben: https://crudebyte.com/de/contact/

User interface lets it down

This app unfortunately lets itself down with its user interface. The organ stops can be controlled either by presets or by manually changing the stops.

However, neither are very easy to operate or experiment with. The presets are picked from a drop down box, which is not really practical for quick changes between verses when accompanying hymn singing. It really needs to have one-button preset changes. It is possible to control them using the buttons on an external midi keyboard, but a bit of a shame this is the only option.

The stops display is even worse. Firstly, it is necessary to to go onto a separate screen to even see the stops, when there ought to be plenty of room on iPad screen for stops and presets together. Second, the stops are not clearly labelled until you tap them, so you have to memorise which ones are where. Thirdly, because they have variable volume, you have to press then do a turning motion to set the level required. If is nice to have variable volume, but again in the fraction of a second between hymn verses you really just need to do a single tap for on or off as there isn't time for fiddling around.

It is a shame because the app can clearly make some very impressive sounds, but I have decided to use another app because this kind will take a very long time for me to get the hang of.

Best Sound

Best sounds and presets however presets cannot be changed fast enough. I use midi designer app to change preset with 1 click but it's still not fast enough and also not smooth. It needs to have organ stops, pistons, and preset like real organ. It also should have midi learn capability as well. It also needs to have the ability to customize keyboard for great, swell, choir, and pedal. It's a great app if you can use multiple ipads to accomplish the above. I use Jeux D'orgues app as well but this app sounds better. Jeux D'orgues does have the functionality above but this app preset is better. Overall it is a great app but still needs a lot of work to make it practical for an organist. It would be great if we could have iPhone app available as well by the way. Just a quick feedback for crudebyte developers....

Wonderful App

Very nice sound quality and useful to anyone even remotely liking Pipe Organs and their unique sounds and acoustics.

Well worth the money I spent. I recommend it.

Unbelievable Sounds!!!

Crudebyte Has Done It Again!!! I Was Pleasantly
Surprised,To Have Such Lush,And Dynamic Church Organ Samples Available,On My IPAD!!
The Bach Organ Pieces,Take on a Sense Of Depth And Dark Beauty,When Played Using This
App!!! Unbeleivable Sounds !!! PERIOD !!!

Glorious sounds

This app has a high quality and very dynamic sound set from the huge cathedral type to that of a more delicate chapel organ. It's really good. This operates the same as the other Crudebyte apps with MIDI in/recording/playback and uses Inter App Audio (IAA).
Worth it for the on-sale price, or through a bundle.
