Patreon Exclusive: Wooden Organ Pipe
🕑 Added 2023-01-17 19:22:57 +0000 UTCLast summer, I was out for a walk with my family when I found this wooden organ pipe on the street. I knew immediately what it was because I subscribe to Look Mum No Computer's Youtube channel, and he's been resuscitating an old church organ with very similar pipes.
I knew immediately I wanted to sample it, but I couldn't figure out how to force enough air through it to make a sustained note. I asked Simon the Magpie what I should do, and he suggested I inflate an air mattress and try to use it as a bellows. It was a brilliant idea, and it no doubt would have worked if I had been able to get a tight enough air connection between the mattress and the pipe. In the end, I ended up using good old-fashioned lung power with beautiful results.
The first preset is the raw organ sound, and the rest are variations using a range of outboard effects. I hope you enjoy these sounds as much as I have been!
NOTE: Patrons can also download this sample within the DecentSampler plug-in directly.

I need the inside scoop on where you're always walking around that you find these things. Another great gem. Thanks, David!

Like it! Switched a synthmade "panflute" for this pipe in a little piece i did for my mom once and it sounds genuine somehow. A little fluctuation can be heard on a longer note or so which makes it more human. Hope you find the rest of the organ even though your lungs may have to step up for the bass pipes. ;)
