PROJECTS FOR THE HAUPTWERK ORGAN ENTHUSIAST

1. Building your own Hauptwerk Virtual Organ Console

There are two projects for virtual organ consoles on my music websites.
The least complicated is the OPUS I project, details of which are at: http://my-music.kaspencer.com/opus_i.htm

A much more complete console, with couplers and pistons and up to 120 stops is OPUS II, which was only completed late in 2020.
This console also features automatic electronic labelling of the stops as soon as an organ is loaded. The labelling system is the subject of two projects, one of which is described in Project 2 on this page. OPUS II details are at: http://my-music.kaspencer.com/opus_ii.htm

2. Automatic Electronic labelling of Stops for Haupwerk organs

There are two versions of this project. At present only Version 2 is described on this site, but My Music website has some details of the project version 1.

Anyone who has more than one organ set up in Hauptwerk knows that each organ has different stops, and one must find a way of showing the name of each stop. This is the ultimate method of solving this project. When I first published this project it was based on using Stripboard to hold the electronic displays and provide the connections. Well: all that is changed because we now have printed circuit boards (PCBs) especially designed to fit with some standard illuminated stop switches. And, wait for it: there are now two version of Stop Plate which laser cut by professionals. One version is in beautiful black acrylic, and the other is in lovely beech ply, of high quality.
