You have two real options.

Check out Organteq for the best physically modeled pipe organ. Not sampled, but fully synthesized. It is only a single instrument, modeled after a Cavaillé-Coll french romantic instrument. To me, Organteq sounds like I'm in the uncanny valley. It tries to model the irregularities of a live instrument, but something about it is just off to my ears. YMMV.

Then there is Hauptwerk, which is the most advanced pipe organ software currently available. It is sample based, but no mere sampling engine. It uses various filtering and modeling techniques to represent things like enclosed divisions and tremulants, a wind model which causes pipes to respond differently depending upon how much wind is available in the instrument, a turbulence model, and randomized detuning that corresponds to what one might expect when playing a live instrument on any given day. Many organs are available for Hauptwerk. It comes with one. There are even some excellent free ones available. It uses iLok, but doesn't require a dongle.

Thanks. i know both of them. But i am searching a cheaper pipe organ

Hauptwerk is king, though it's kinda expensive for most hobbyists.

There's also a free soundfont called "Jeux 1.4" if I remember right. Plogue has a free soundfont player, Sforzando.

Might have been a good idea to mention that when you asked.

This is vastly inferior to the current version of Hauptwerk, but incredibly good for free: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ourorgan/

This is basically equivalent to Hauptwerk 1.0, and can even play old, non-encrypted Hauptwerk 1.0 ODFs. It is not a plugin, though, so you would have to do some routing magic with a DAW to make it work.

There are several free instruments available that will work with Grand Orgue: https://sourceforge.net/p/ourorgan/samp ... le%20Sets/

Thx. A plugin would pe perfect. I saw sonokinetic's toccata. for 60€. But paying does not work

Until Organteq, my organ playback of choice was Jeux d'orgues 2 soundfont ( http://www.jeuxdorgues.com/files/jeuxdo ... ndfont.rar ) using any free soundfont player (eg. Juicysfplugin - https://github.com/Birch-san/juicysfplugin) ran through any decent reverb vst

Have you tried a valid cc

[HobbyComposer02]

Valid cc? What's that?

[EvilDragon]

Credit card.

sampletank's pipe organ sounds pretty ominous imo

[Eirikur]

Lots of serious people use Jeux d'orgues 2, the soundfont. Free. Works in any soundfont player. I think you should try it.

Very nice-sounding organ, a large but not a gargantuan instrument, no Kontakt required, and reasonably priced ($89 - but will go on sale from time to time).

[Meffy]

I should mention that Jeux sounds a lot better with reverb added. In fact, with enough reverb even very synth-y sounds can end up sounding like a big church pipe organ.

[CapnLockheed]

Maybe not the best....but it's a VSTi......and it's free.
