München, St. Margaret

Today, the instrument comprises 74 stops (expanded to 76 stops in the sample set) distributed across five divisions: Hauptwerk, Positiv, Schwellwerk, Auxiliarwerk, and Pedal. This rich disposition allows for an immense variety of registration possibilities, making the organ highly versatile. The instrument is tuned to a unique, non-equal temperament designed specifically by Klais. Architecturally and acoustically, the floating Auxiliarwerk is located in the top-left section of the case, yielding a beautifully distant sound perspective. It consists of three main ranks: Seraphonflöte 8′, Aliquote II 2 2/3′, and Tromba magna 16′ (with the Tromba pipes standing vertically rather than en chamade). The Seraphonflöte 4′ and 2′ are extensions of the 8′ rank, and the Tromba 8′ and 4′ are extensions of the 16′ rank, while the Cornett stop automatically draws the Seraphonflöte 8′, 4′, 2², and Aliquote II together. Three Trombas from this division have been added to the pedal by default to enhance flexibility. The Clarinette 8′ in the Positiv is a free-reed stop, equipped with its own dedicated pedal to control its wind supply. The majestic Majorbass 32′ utilizes the stunning prospect pipes, save for the lowest two notes, which sit on the outer sides of the organ case.

In the physical instrument, several borrowed stops and extended functions (such as the separate Aliquote II stop and specific couplers) are available only from a small LCD panel. For a unified and seamless user experience in the sample set, these functions have been converted into dedicated stop tabs. These include the HW Grossprincipal 32′, HW Violon 16′, SW Contra gamba 16′, P Untersatz 32′, P Grossbordun 32′, P Violquinte 10 2/3′. While the real Untersatz 32′ and Grossbordun 32′ are acoustically derived from the 16′ Subbas and Zartbass, the sample set features an independent Untersatz 32′ made from Subbas 16′.
