Hauptwerk sample sets
The following is a list of sample sets currently available, created for use with Hauptwerk. Since 2001 we have invested large amounts of resources working with sample set producers to make the dream of being able to play many different organs at home a reality for the first time ever, and to build up the amazing list of instruments now available, shown below. We hope you like them.
Please click on the individual links for further information, screenshots, demos, etc., and contact their respective creators if your require more details or wish to purchase them.
Hauptwerk version 3 is seamlessly backwardly-compatible with version 2 sample sets, and can import version 1 sample sets, giving much better results than were possible with version 1 itself. However, native version 3 or version 2 sample sets can usually give much better results than version 1 sample sets. All native version 3 and version 2 sample sets are fully compatible with Hauptwerk running on both Apple Macs and Windows PCs. Please contact the supplier of a version 1 sample set for information on its compatibility with the Apple Mac if required.

Please note the sample sets are organised broadly by creator/distributor; the order does not imply any preferences on our part. We encourage you to listen to demos of all of the sample sets.
All memory requirements are approximate, and indicate total free memory required for the sample set and Hauptwerk, but not including the operating system or other software that may be running. Where given, memory requirements relate to Hauptwerk version 3 / version 2 sample sets only, running in version 3 with all default rank memory options (16-bit, lossless memory compression, all sample loops, all attack and release samples, stereo, full release samples). It is possible to disable ranks in Hauptwerk so that subsets of any sample set can be used in computers with less memory.
