Shall we bet that Physis 2.0 will appear with CC, Silbermann, whatever copy of an existing instrument/voicing school?

Hauptwerk is dictating the rules here and what we are missing is a unique selling proposition that changes the rules of the game.

Normalerweise müsste zu jeder Physis eine Intonation auf den Aufstellungsraum mit im Preis inbegriffen sein. Nicht jeder kann sich stundenlang mit Notebook und Editor an die Orgel setzen und das Klang Potential des Instruments ausloten. Die Unterschiede zwischen Standard und angepasster Intonation sind enorm und würden dem "Normaluser" verborgen bleiben. Oder wie wir schon einmal diskutiert haben fertige alternative Orgelstyls mit anbieten.

...an acquired (delusional, sorry) taste for "original" instruments...

...Hauptwerk is not different than Netflix or any addicting substance. Most of the hauptwerk users I know keep on collecting sample-sets in a compulsive way and this is because the need for the real thing is never satisfied, so one hopes that the next set will make the trick...

Well, I say, let them collect the sets if they like, as long as they aren't starving their children in order to pay :D And it's, economically, a lot more doable than, say, collecting whole Physis organs, eh? ;) (even if they bought an individual St Bavo/Haarlem for every day of the week)

But of course you're right: If the possibilities increase, so do the demands, and it'll never be perfect for everyone -- probably the Malthusian principle for digital organs (=
And it's always easier to discover additional requirements than to do away with them =/

Also, they'd really better come out with the new Physis soon, or I fear there might be a revolution (=

I'm not judging, of course -- after all, what you do with those instruments is really good, so do keep up the good work =)

Man stelle sich das Szenario vor: Die Meute aus dem Sakralorgelforum schart sich um die erste Physis 2.0 Orgel, hört sie an und kommt einhellig zum Ergebnis: Da haben unsere Crackies aus Physis 1.0 mehr herausgeholt.

Good morning!
Paolo, the result is simply wonderful!
Beautiful!

To Gemshorn: It is very strange that they did not consider your request.
I don't think the reason is a small organ: I had requested the sub / super coulplers for my Sonus 60 (which is not a very expensive organ) and they immediately took my request.
I also asked if it was possible to upload the upgrade also to my Sonus 40 (which is like your Concerto 234), and I was told that another file was needed (they are custom files) but they would have made a special price because I already had purchased the previous upgrade for the Sonus 60. In the end I didn't buy the upgrade for the Sonus 40, but it is clear that Viscount could offer it without any problems: so I think there are no specific issues on Viscount's part to offer an upgrade to all of their Physis models.
Surely there must have been some hitch with the local distributor.


I agree with everything that has been said about Hauptwerk, and I would like to add that the problem, in my case, still concerns the artifacts that are created in the reading of the samples (union of the portions of the samples steady state / release with phase and amplitude differences, etc) which are still present in the latest versions. To my ears these artifacts are intolerable.
Clearly Physis is not perfect either, but it responds to my concept of "quality" of sonic identity of the sound of the pipes, and I am happy with it.

A PM: actually the path that Paolo and I take to get the best out of our tools is conceptually different.
Paolo uses an external upgrade approach: he exploits the pure sound of the Physis without "alterations" of the internal reverb, and channels it externally, then inserting everything he needs (software processing, additional hardware, external speakers, etc.) to obtain the highest possible quality.

I start from inside the instrument, I modify if necessary, and I try to obtain the highest possible quality without adding external elements (in fact I do not use external amplification, but only the internal channels; the only exception is a subwoofer which was necessary due to size room. Apart from that, I use the built-in channels of the console, which I think is an intelligent design, but with components that can be improved).
And I can guarantee that what the standard Physis can still do with the appropriate modifications is truly astounding.
