From the ground up, a fresh scientific approach to the accurate reproduction of pipe and electronic organs, built by time-served experts who also just happen to be organists too!
Almost all of the currently available digital pipe organ technology whilst producing a sometimes pleasing result, suffer from a fundamental flaw in the approach to audio reproduction. Instead of repeating the same mistakes, we took our individual areas of expertise in advanced software and sound engineering and painstakingly created a more efficient and scientifically accurate way of reproducing the sound of an organ. This has resulted in the most responsive, most powerful and most advanced digital audio product in its class, and measurably so.
- Crystal clear 32bit (float) native audio, more responsive and accurate than any other comparable digital organ software, and that's official!
- Specifically optimized for each hardware platform, not a one size fits all compromise
- Identical features regardless of operating system, not working with the lowest feature set all platforms support
- Support for VST plugins as well as the ability to act as a VST instrument
- Using state-of-the-art secure modern software architecture and technology, with regular updates to keep inline with security updates.
- The organ display can be operated from a different computer or device with a modern browser, allowing 'headless' operation and the same control as if you were sat at the console.
(subject to network connectivity) - Uses recently introduced new user interface technology which gives even greater power and flexibility than our previous organ user interfaces, and makes it even easier to create your own organ!
Are you tired of unnecessarily complicated sluggish VPO software, where upgrades cost extra, where complexity is there to give the user some illusion of being advanced, yet never really gives you anything that produces any meaningful improvements? The good news is, because we care about UX (User eXperience) from our expertise in human factors/industrial design, we have made our whole software platform contextual and simple to use. You only see what is relevant to the task in hand and don't have to navigate a complex user interface to make the changes you desire.
We are taking a different approach to how you try and buy your organ software, so that you can be always assured that our products will continue to exceed your expectations. Unlike others, our support is free Subject to T&Cs and we are not here to simply try and profiteer from the organ community, but instead do our bit to support the organ funds of the instruments we have been honoured to sample. Our products are aimed at the discerning musician who is prepared to ignore a lot of the incorrect received wisdom that is often bandied about on internet forums, who want something robust, high quality, high performing and above all else, high fidelity to the original.
We believe once you have tried our latest software version and made the necessary adjustments so it is balanced for your own sound system, and witnessed the blistering performance and low latency of our software, you will not want to play anything else!
Considerably lower latency and greater accuracy than Hauptwerk et al. Don't just take our word, compare for yourself, for free!

Finally, a piece of software that brings digital organs to a whole new level of realism, and a product written for organists. I love the theatre organs and whilst I play only for pleasure these days, I have the power of a mighty theatre organ in my own home, and it sounds incredibly like the real thing.

This software is the only VPO I have found that caters for all of my needs and is capable of handling even the most challenging organ works, flawlessly and with crystal clear sound. I find the integrated music control a particularly valuable feature which doesn't appear in other similar software.
Matt Karlis
Director of Music
I was initially sceptical about this software, but it delivers on its promises and I now use it daily, as do my organ students. It has been very reliable and super performant so far. Upgrades are free, support is free and it is under constant improvement. What more could you ask?
James Alysum
Organist and Choirmaster
As a previous VPO software user, I was worried about investing in new organ software as I had already spent quite a bit on virtual organ software. The quality is far superior, and when comparing directly alongside with my existing VPO, the difference was night and day. I have since sold my previous VPO software on eBay which speaks volumes. Great job and keep up the great work!
Jake Larson
Organ Student
What an outstanding piece of software! You can make any organ sound very differently and to your particular tastes, even trying the organ with differing building acoustics. The built in EQ takes some getting used to but super powerful and easy to get the results you want. I have seen this product progress exponentially over the years and it really is the best product in its class right now.
Version 4.0 introduces the new 'Professional Edition', providing additional features for commercial or professional installations.
Version 4.0 has been split into two different offerings, one for the individual organist and one for larger installations in a more commercial or professional setting.
'Organist Edition' consists of all of the features and functionality from previous versions of the software, with significant improvements however, is now being offered at a lower license cost to the individual.
'Professional Edition' includes all of the features from 'Organist Edition', however has a number of important new features to enable full support of large commercial or professional installations.
Professional Edition added features
- Multi-channel audio up to 32 channels (16 stereo pairs)
- Audinate Dante™ and other CAT6 based multi-channel networked audio supported
- Dante Virtual Soundcard™ / Dante Via™ supported
- Built in Multi-channel channel matrix mixing
- Apply EQ individually on stereo pairs
- Temperament tuning, including many hundreds of well-known variations.
- Rank fine tuning, allowing modification of the pitch, amplitude or resonance of individual pipe samples (per note adjustment).
- Ability to import and export all rank fine tuning adjustments
- Support for very large instruments with more than 128 ranks
- Fully network enabled user interface, allowing full control of the software on any network connected device with a suitable web browser and screen resolution.
Simple and intuitive to use
If you can use an organ console, you should be able to use this, without need for complex manuals or "made easy" guides! Whilst we offer features you would not typically find on a pipe organ console, such as applying EQ or adjusting the acoustic model, we present these potentially daunting features in a simple to use intuitive way without exposing you to unnecessary complexity.
Efficient use of multi-core processors
This software is far from a dumb sample player or 'sampler'. As we generate pipe release audio 'on the fly', then allow the user to apply EQ, multi-channel world class convolution reverb and so on, our software is working much harder to deliver the features that have previously been missing from other software or at often considerable additional cost. Even though this software is doing considerably more processing than other VPOs to deliver a truly authentic sound, due to the use of the latest parallel processing and multi-threading techniques, you should never see an overworked processor or processing bottle-necks or indeed require a behemoth to run it!
We have taken additional time to optimize the software for each platform so we can take full advantage of all available technology for that platform which leads to considerably lower latency and an even distribution of processing workload.
Uses less than half of the RAM used by other VPO software, even on the same organ definition with identical samples!
Flexible modular design allowing easy future expansion and features
Whilst this software is primarily aimed at the accurate reproduction of pipe organs, it is adaptable with ease to provide the same flawless audio for electronic organs, keyboard instruments and orchestral instruments.
This software can be used without any user interface in 'headless' mode and has additional features to enable easy hardware control operation where the user interface is not being displayed.
Ability to support specific and generic MIDI hardware easily, including SysEx with an easy to use MIDI 'learn' operation.
World class acoustic modeling
Our software uses the latest advances in acoustic modeling, but also offers the organist an almost infinite list of acoustic adjustments so you can really now have it YOUR WAY in the acoustic setting that most suits your needs!
This software works like no other. It has been written from the ground up, and uses a completely different technique for reproducing pipe speech, and then applying the acoustic environment of your choice.
Does not suffer from 'acoustic summing' or 'staccato bounce' as with Grand Orgue and Hauptwerk. This leads to a vastly clearer, responsive and more accurate sound as additional pipes are activated, and because we do not routinely use release samples, the acoustic options available to you are practically limitless.
Secure modern 64 bit architecture
Whilst most VPO software uses technology that is at least 20 years old, all of our software uses the latest frameworks (to take advantage of more modern hardware) and is updated in line with security vulnerability patches and feature releases from operating systems and software frameworks.
