The temperaments are free, but donations to support further development are very welcome!
The book “Die Orgeln Gottfried Silbermanns” by Frank-Harald Gress and Michael Lange lists various temperaments of Gottfried Silbermann organs.
I created 19 temperament files for use with Hauptwerk™ 4 and 5+, which are available for free download.
The installation of the Silbermann temperaments is easy:
Hauptwerk > File > Install organ or temperament … (Hauptwerk™ 4)
Hauptwerk > File > Install organ, temperament, or impulse response reverb … (Hauptwerk™ 5+)
Important: Hauptwerk intentionally does not adjust the base pitch when loading a temperament. You have to adjust the base pitch manually. There are different ways to do so. The easiest way is to open the floating pitch panel:
Hauptwerk > View > Large floating panels (for this organ) > Pitch
Here you can adjust the base pitch manually. The base pitch of each organ is given in the file name of the temperament.
The following table lists all parameters used to create the Hauptwerk™ temperament files.
