Pianoteq Organteq 2

Organteq 2: A New Generation of Physically Modelled Pipe Organs

Organteq offers realtime synthesis of organ pipe sound based on physical modelling. By capturing the complex physics of flue and reed pipes, it brings a vivid instrument of stunning playability and breathtaking realism.

Everything in Organteq can be tweaked, from the composition of the organ to the sound of each pipe, making it possible to reproduce a wide variety of existing organs or to explore new musical territory.

Organteq is a physically modelled pipe organ for PC and Mac. It can be used in standalone mode or as a 64-bit instrument plug-in in VST, VST3, AAX and AudioUnits hosts. Using the physical model behind Modartt’s award-winning Pianoteq, it simulates the playability and complex behaviours of real acoustic instruments.

Because Organteq does not use samples, its file size is a tiny fraction of that of other virtual organs, making it ideal for use on a modern laptop. Sound is generated in real time from scratch, reproducing the characteristic, variable pipe attack transients known as “chiff,” as well as the 3D configuration of pipes positioned in space according to their keyboards. Even the action noises from keys, stops and couplers are modelled, bringing realistic variability to attack and sustain.
