This is a faithful reproduction of the pipe organ in St. Just in Roseland Parish Church, Cornwall. Do not be fooled by its small size - this is a genuine, high quality Virtual Pipe Organ. The organ can be enjoyed to its fullest extent if 2 manuals, a pedalboard and a swell pedal are attached. However, if you have limited space or a limited budget, every sound of the organ is available using just a single attached MIDI controller keyboard, by virtue of its manual couplers and the 'Auto Pedal' function. 22 speaking stops, a rich selection of couplers and a tremulant on the Swell division are in place in this digital recreation. Additionally 8 programmable pistons are provided to allow one-touch access to frequently-used registrations, and these may be mapped to Drum Pads on modern MIDI controller keyboards. A high quality reverberation engine is provided within the app, and the reverb controls, overall instrument volume, swell, crescendo and the pistons may all be controlled by knobs or sliders on an attached MIDI controller. All features of the real organ are reproduced, and the Virtual Pipe Organ allows maximum performance flexibility. An entire church service can be played using just a single MIDI controller, giving an incredibly cost-effective solution for churches on a budget. It can also be played with two manuals, and supports a pedalboard of up to 32-notes, with support for Swell AND Crescendo pedals. A particularly cost-effective solution is to buy an inexpensive, used 'Home Organ' with MIDI output, and use that purely as a controller, with the app generating all the sounds. By exploiting Wavetable Trajectory Synthesis rather than sample replay, this app is tiny, yet manages to capture all the beauty and the subtle nuances of the organ. Note that this app does not contain a playable on-screen keyboard, so either attached USB MIDI controllers, or another app capable of generating virtual MIDI are required to play the organ. Privacy Statement : this app does not access any of the personal data on your device. ## Key features - Faithful pipe organ reproduction - 22 speaking stops - Manual couplers and Auto Pedal function - 8 programmable pistons - High-quality reverberation engine - Wavetable Trajectory Synthesis - MIDI controller support ## Recent user reviews (10 of 22) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/st-just-in-roseland-organ/id1394221644/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Makes me so happy *2025-04-13, version 2.0* Not an organist, but pipe organ is my favorite instrument and I am filled with joy every time I use this. Took very little effort/time to put together with my Casio WK-200 and I was playing the organ. I hooked it up to a nice Bluetooth speaker so of course there’s a delay. But the way the ground rumbles and beauty of the sound makes up for it. Can’t wait to figure out a wired speaker connection. I find the sound to be incredibly beautiful and satisfying. Brings a tear to the eye of this pipe organ enjoyer. Totally worth the money!!!!! ### 4/5 — It’s very much like a local small town church instrument *2025-04-03, version 2.0* I wish I had encountered this app and had an iPad sooner! I had some MIDI keyboards and equipment in storage for many years and was inspired to connect them to my iPad when I found this app. Some real world experience with MIDI setup is required, but the instructions included do help (some MIDI controller instructions are much worse). Some 20+ year old MIDI equipment is still compatible with an iPad, it’s best to buy a current production usb to MIDI DIN adapter, however. With my success i was inspired and purchased a pad controller to add stop control and then it got complicated. I had to download MidiFlow for device mapping and reconfigure the app to Virtual MIDI. Couple head scratching moments but i have a working stop control now. Side project of creating MIDI pedal keyboard is next. The only complaint is there is no General Cancel Button on this organ. Also i think the top and bottom stop in the instructions are switched for configuring a pad controller, but i got it to work despite my controller and the instructions being opposite. Thanks for the great app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful authentic sounds *2024-09-01, version 2.0* A superb app featuring a wonderfully balanced and voiced church organ, a real gem, particularly with the additional control of the swell organ. The ability to adjust reverb settings and various other parameters, together with a comprehensive user guide makes this a valuable, accessible instrument and very straightforward to navigate for anyone. ### 3/5 — Correctly trying to tune it I wanted. *2024-02-08, version 2.0* I tried tuning it to make the octaves sound just like most pipe organs sound. Trying to tune it to an exact C to correct the tuning for myself. ### 3/5 — Correctly trying to tune it I wanted. *2024-02-03* I tried tuning it to make the octaves sound just like most pipe organs sound. Trying to tune it to an exact C to correct the tuning for myself. ### 5/5 — The Best Of The Best *2023-10-04, version 2.0* Very, very well done. I am a wedding pianist and can’t really play the organ like you guys, but this app enables me to sound like an organist. The presets are fantastic. Many congratulations on a job well done. ### 5/5 — Sweet sounds *2023-07-12, version 2.0* It is a very sweet instrument that sounds beautiful and is fun to play, especially with two keyboards. It is very versatile. The user interface and the configuration settings are well thought out. Perfect for use at home. Pay attention to the wide dynamic range - it can get very loud with a lot of stops pulled out. I'm very pleased with this virtual organ. ### 1/5 — No onboard keyboard *2023-06-07, version 2.0* Why didn’t include a virtual key board compatibility with AUM or other midi apps, I have no use for this app. Where is the link for the free keyboard ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-02-28, version 2.0* If like me you are not an organist but play hymns in a church, just get this app, connect it to your digital piano and you’re away! The programmable pistons are just what I needed. Love it! ### 4/5 — Great pipe organ synth for the price *2022-08-31, version 2.0* While not as easy to control as other pipe organ synths, it’s a great effort for the price. All of the app settings need to be moved into the app for better control. It still took only 15 minutes to have this synth playing the same MIDI music as our real 3-manual church pipe organ, and sounding similar in audio recordings. The reverb engine needs significant improvement. To make this instrument sound more like better organ synths, running its output audio through external reverb effects gets it 90% of the way there. Would love to see more virtual pipe organs for iPads, iPhones, and Apple silicon macs from this publisher. ## Frequently asked questions about St Just in Roseland Organ ### What is St Just in Roseland Organ?

Fix for audio distortion at 48kHz on certain devices. ### 1.9 — 2019-08-06 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. ### 1.8 — 2019-07-02 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. ### 1.7 — 2019-03-03 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. ### 1.6 — 2019-02-21 A revised swell pedal system incorporating multiple chained low-pass filters, to give a more authentic frequency response to swell changes. ## Apps similar to St Just in Roseland Organ | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Radio 105 Indie](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/radio-105-indie/id1559928660) | — | Free | Music | | [OUT & PROUD LIVE](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/out-and-proud-live/id1562328760) | 5.0 (8) | Free | Music | | [MIDI Layers](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/midi-layers/id1640217767) | 4.6 (10) | $12.99 | Music | | [pianoscaper](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pianoscaper/id1177444402) | 4.9 (14) | $1.99 | Music | | [MODALapp 2025](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/modalapp-2025/id6743237287) | 2.3 (3) | Free | Music | | [PhysisPlus Editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/physisplus-editor/id6446284587) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | ## More apps by Phil Atkin - [Mellotronics Streetlytron '63](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mellotronics-streetlytron-63/id1394220877) - [Mellotronics Streetlytron Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mellotronics-streetlytron-pro/id1447100877) - [Sopranotron 2](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sopranotron-2/id1447101182) - [Pipe Organ](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pipe-organ/id1485889911) - [Player Organ](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/player-organ/id1503483457) All apps by Phil Atkin: https://appshunter.io/developer/1751268739 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
