Aeolus is a Pipe organ emulator using additive synthesis as a VST or AU plugin (or a stand-alone executable).Aeolus was originally developed by Fons Adriaensen and presented in 2004. The original implementation is Linux only and can be found here (or across Linux distribution packages). At present it looks like Aeolus development has been mostly abandoned (but Organnery picked up the original Aeolus project to make it run on a Raspberry Pi).

This project leverages the wavetable systhesis part of the original Aeolus, improves on it, and delivers it as a standard VST plugin using JUCE framework, so that it can be run in Windows/macOS VST3/AU hosts.

This implementation contains additional improvements to the sound generation including

Pipe models can be composed of multiple pipes (to create proper mixtures);
Different pipe models can be used across the keyboard compass (this enables mixtures breaking-back);
Pipes chiff noise is played on attack;
The plugin uses zero delay convolutional reverb with selectable IRs from OpenAir library;
Registration presets also act as a sequencer.
pipes chiff noise on attack;
new pipe models;
convolutional reverb.
The original binary format for the pipe models and the organ configuration has been translated (partially) to JSON.

MIDI Control:

Sequencer steps are controlled via the program change messages sent on the control MIDI channel (program 0 corresponds to the first step of the sequencer, 1 – to the second and so on).

In a DAW you may use Program parameter to control the sequencer steps. Another way to control the sequencer is via key switches (MIDI notes). The default configuration uses keys 22 and 23 to control the sequencer.

CCs:

CC 1 modulation wheel enables/disables tremulant
CC 7 controls the global volume (on the control MIDI channel) and the volume of each division which has swell config flag enabled (on the swell MIDI channel)
CC 91 controls the reverb output level
CC 98 Stops control
👉 The stops control follows the original Aeolus convention. The control mode is set by the message 01mm0ggg, where mm is the control mode, and ggg is the control group (division number, counter from the top starting from 0). Control modes are:

00 Disable the division (all stops are off)
01 Set stop off
10 Set stop on
11 Toggle

Once the control message is received the value of the format 000bbbbb will execute the selected control mode action on specified stop buton bbbbb, counted from 0.

Custom organ configuration:

Custom organ configuration will be loaded by the plugin if found at Documents/Aeolus/organ_config.json location.

👉 The Documents folder’s exact location depends on the operating system and the user profile.

To create the organ_config.json start with default one embedded into the plugin by copying it to Documents/Aeolus folder and renaming to organ_config.json.

It is also possible to use custom pipe configs in .ae0 or .json format. These have to be placed to the Documents/Aeolus folder for then can be referenced from the organ_config.json (use pipe file name without the extension in the”pipe”attribute of the organ_config.json).

Multibus output:

When compiled with the WITH_MULTIBUS_OUTPUT CMake option enabled, the generated plugin will ouput to the 8 separate monofonic buses. Each bus corresponds to the pipes groups placement in space according to the internal horizontal arrangement of the pipes.

In multibus configuration there is no reverb applied, and there is no spatialization performed.

👉 The multibus mode is indended for the object based mixing, where you could place individual pipe groups in space yourself and apply a reverb of your preference.

Pipes are arranged starting from the lowest key from the sides (buses 0 and 7) to the center in the middle of the range (buses 3, 4), and then going back from the centre towards the sides. For the pedal pipes, they go from the outside towards the centre only.

Corresponding pipe position jumps between left and right following the keys (C will be on the left, C# on the right, D of the left, D# on the right and so on).

👉 This very same pipes spatial arrangement is used in the stereo version of the plugin to perform spatialized rendering followed by a stereo convolutional reverb.

Sinus Plus is a Hammond B3 simulation.

This is a  virtual organ with all the stuff you need to fall in love with this instrument. It sounds brilliant and can give the right organ sound in almost every kind of music.

The clean sine oscs for 2 manuals and bass pedals, the 9 percussion oscs with the 9 “standard” harmonics, the key noise, the vibrato/chorus effect, the reverb, the excellent rotary speaker clone called “CHORUS/TREMOLO” and more settings will help you to create the organ sound you want.

 Scandiclavia 2 is a bigger and richer successor to the first Scandiclavia virtual analog nordish organ model.

It yet works as an open mixer format like the previous, but now with 7 waveforms per channel, enhanced sound path and some more new exciting features.

The main sound engine uses the same 32-bit top quality oscillators as the previous, with the highest possible dynamic range and 7 waveforms per oscillator. The waveforms emulate the great Nord organs of all times and can be mixed together and create a vast of sound colors, textures and articulations. Scandiclavia oscillators also include gleam effect, a user friendly global hipass-lopass filters per oscillator, a rotary speaker emulation, drawbars, hammer generator (click) and a rich effects rack.

ScandiClavia got an exclusive hammer manager which manages the percussive effect of the organ’s hammer. You can choose from 7 types from dull to noisy and determine every little nuance of the hammer.

Scandiclavia also offers a full section of built in effects (a new cabinet effect with 4 different cabinets emulation, chorus, phaser, wha-wha, reverb and delay).

Rank Two plugin is intended to have several instances in the DAW to give a “mixture” to create a fuller sound. However, a single plugin instance is capable of a wide range of full sounds as demonstrated by some of the presets provided. Use of the extensions is an easy way to build a big sound with fewer instances running in the DAW.

Physical Modelling is used for the wind/pipe interactions and sinewave-based additive synthesis for the tone itself. These two sound generators interact in terms of amplitude, and the sound thus created was tuned at the design stage to give results close to real pipe sample sets I have auditioned. The Reed section uses one of 15 reed waveforms, created in my Quilcom Wavemaker 4, to excite a bank of harmonically tuned resonant filters with very high Q, to give a more defined and controllable spectrum.

Scandiclavia is a virtual analog Nordish organ module.
It works in an open mixer format and enhanced with some new exciting features. First, an improved 2 32bit top quality waveform engine with incredibly high dynamic range oscillators to generate 2 organ modules emulation, each with it’s own size and color: precision organ and hammond style electric organ. Scandiclavia is inspired by the great Nord hardware organs sound, although using slightly different synthesis approach.
The Engine:
The 2 oscillators can be mixed together into a punchy, clicky and aggressive organ sound, allowing the player creating very useful and musical organ combinations, articulations and textures. Scandiclavia oscillators has full synthesis section, 2 different midi velocity options, stereo enhancer engine, new gleam effect, a user friendly global hipass-lopass filters per oscillator.
The effects:
Scandiclavia also offers a full section of built in effects (stereo widener, chorus, phaser, wha-wha, reverb and delay), advanced midi mode and dedicated organs alike draw-bars system.
