System requirements
of
the Van Oeckelen organ from the Hervormde kerk in Wirdum


The computer

To play the full Hauptwerk 5 version of this sampleset without restrictions you need a high-speed modern computer with e.g. Windows 10 64 bit and about 3 GB RAM installed. The best results are possible with computers of Apple-MacIntosh. We do not have experience with the Mac. It is very difficult to specify exactly what you need. The "mother" website hauptwerk.com gives much information about this.
Prerequisites .
This virtual organ from Wirdum is available from Hauptwerk version 5 and can be downloaded after purchase.
Below is a Table of memory usage .
On other systems, these values can vary considerably! Please note that your Operating System also requires considerable memory.


The sound card

A good internal or external sound card. For more information go to: hauptwerk.com .


Manuals/keyboards/pedal òr complete organ with MIDI out

1 manual/keyboard and a (at least 25 keys) pedal òr a complete electronic organ with MIDI out.
Beautiful consoles specifically designed for Hauptwerk are commercially available.
In the Netherlands these are available through, for example,

Those who are technically inclined can provide their keyboard with MIDI capability using hardware from, for example, WIRA, MIDI-Hardware.com or MGB . We ourselves have done this using a Heyligers organ dating from around 1975 (using WIRA hardware). The conversion was about 300 Euro and everything has worked perfectly for years.


Speakers/headphone

The superb sound quality of Hauptwerk is best experienced through high-quality headphones, such as AKG or Sennheiser.
We prefer connecting the sound card to a (possibly multi-channel) sound system. The above mentioned companies can also advise you on any purchases in this area.
What you definitely should not do is listen to Hauptwerk through the built-in speakers of the monitor or a set of €10 computer speakers!
