PiteaMini is a downsized version of the Pitea organ app, needing less memory and less screen estate. It uses the Great Manual and the Pedal of Lars Palo's Piteå School of Music sample set to build a well sounding and versatile little virtual pipe organ. You don't need any more explanations if you know our other organ apps. Else, have a look at the free StrandOrgan and Jeux d'orgues Mini apps.
