Features & Capabilities

THIS APP IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. IT IS BELIEVED TO STILL WORK BUT THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES FOR FUTURE IOS VERSIONS.

ANY SUPPORT QUESTIONS WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.

This is a faithful reproduction of the pipe organ in St. Just in Roseland Parish Church, Cornwall. Do not be fooled by its small size - this is a genuine, high quality Virtual Pipe Organ.

The organ can be enjoyed to its fullest extent if 2 manuals, a pedalboard and a swell pedal are attached. However, if you have limited space or a limited budget, every sound of the organ is available using just a single attached MIDI controller keyboard, by virtue of its manual couplers and the 'Auto Pedal' function.

22 speaking stops, a rich selection of couplers and a tremulant on the Swell division are in place in this digital recreation.

Additionally 8 programmable pistons are provided to allow one-touch access to frequently-used registrations, and these may be mapped to Drum Pads on modern MIDI controller keyboards. A high quality reverberation engine is provided within the app, and the reverb controls, overall instrument volume, swell, crescendo and the pistons may all be controlled by knobs or sliders on an attached MIDI controller.

All features of the real organ are reproduced, and the Virtual Pipe Organ allows maximum performance flexibility. An entire church service can be played using just a single MIDI controller, giving an incredibly cost-effective solution for churches on a budget. It can also be played with two manuals, and supports a pedalboard of up to 32-notes, with support for Swell AND Crescendo pedals. A particularly cost-effective solution is to buy an inexpensive, used 'Home Organ' with MIDI output, and use that purely as a controller, with the app generating all the sounds.

By exploiting Wavetable Trajectory Synthesis rather than sample replay, this app is tiny, yet manages to capture all the beauty and the subtle nuances of the organ.

Note that this app does not contain a playable on-screen keyboard, so either attached USB MIDI controllers, or another app capable of generating virtual MIDI are required to play the organ.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for its lush organ sound, versatility (two manuals, pedal, many stops), and good value, with easy initial setup for some. However, realism isn’t uniformly convincing and the MIDI/controls setup can be complex, often requiring external tools or workarounds.

Pros

Beautiful, rich pipe organ sound that many users find authentic and immersive.
Versatile instrument with two manuals, pedalboard, and a wide range of stops, plus solid MIDI/external gear support.
Excellent value for money with an affordable price.
Easy to set up and plug‑and‑play with MIDI gear, often quick to connect to keyboards and speakers.

Cons

Realism is not as realistic as some reviewers expected; several stops sound less convincing compared with a real pipe organ.
Setup and configuration can be complex and opaque, requiring external MIDI mapping and not all settings are in‑app.

Recent reviews

Please fix the key sticking problem. Other than that, it’s one of the best free pipe organ apps that I’ve ever tried.

Not an organist, but pipe organ is my favorite instrument and I am filled with joy every time I use this. Took very little effort/time to put together with my Casio WK-200 and I was playing the organ. I hooked it up to a nice Bluetooth speaker so of course there’s a delay. But the way the ground rumbles and beauty of the sound makes up for it. Can’t wait to figure out a wired speaker connection. I find the sound to be incredibly beautiful and satisfying. Brings a tear to the eye of this pipe organ enjoyer. Totally worth the money!!!!!
