PipeTune – a Program for tuning Hauptwerk-Organs

PipeTune is a program to retune the samples for a HAUPTWERK organ. HAUPTWERK is a program written by Martin Dyde to be able to play a virtual organ on a Windows-PC. It uses a sample for every pipe of an organ and adds the sound as more pipes are played simultanosely.

What it can do:

Tune a register or organ from one tuning system to another. There is a database for different tuning systems, where you may add other tuning shemes.

Shift the pitch of an organ (or stop).

Create new stops from others (for example a 16‘ from an 8‘ stop).

What it can‘t do:

tell you, what the frequency or tuning of a pipe or stop is.

automatically tune an organ or pipes not in tune

Here is the package including documentation and Temperament-Database:
