What is an ORGAN file?
An ORGAN file is a sample set definition file used by GrandOrgue, a sample-based pipe organ simulator. It stores the configuration information required to recreate the sound and behavior of a real pipe organ in the software. ORGAN files may define organ components such as manuals, stops, pedalboards, pipe ranks, control settings, and references to associated audio samples, and they may also include metadata describing the organ, such as its builder, location, and historical details.
More Information
GrandOrgue is a free, open-source application that lets users simulate and play pipe organs using recorded organ samples. Contributors, including Lars Palo, Oleg Samarin, and Denis Roussel, developed the software for musicians, hobbyists, and organ enthusiasts who want to reproduce organ performances on a computer.
