St Just in Roseland Organ for Android

Given all the hype and praise surrounding this app online, I figured it would be hands-down the best app in terms of realism and features for the price. While the features and number of stops are certainly great, and overall the app is definitely worth the price, a good half of the stops fail the realism test. If you’re looking to use this in a church setting, as I was, where you’re replacing an obviously insufficient instrument like a MIDI keyboard with built-in “church organ” sound, the it’s an upgrade, but not to the extent that other reviews would have you believe. The same (to my knowledge) developer has a much more realistic Victorian Chapel Organ that is smaller, but fits the realism requirement much better. Sound quality for both includes some clipping at higher volumes, but a decent pre-amp that allows you to find the edge of “too loud” will serve you well there. Again, in terms of features, it’s wonderful. But it isn’t the “realistic” organ it’s sold as. It’s a decent synth at best for a good half of the stops.

Unbelieveable and rich sound. So beautiful and immersing. Fantastic price. Excellent and prompt, friendly support. I hook up my MAudio Keystation61 to my iPhone6 via the keyboard’s midi/USB cable into my Google type powered camera adapter and then into the Android power jack. I plugged it all in and it plays great. So simple. Go out of your Android headphone jack to headphones or a speaker. So many sounds to experiment with via stops/pistons/settings. Adjust the hall size and reverb to your heart’s content. And you can even use 2 keyboards and pedal board with it. Lots of ways to adjust and assign things. Don’t hesitate to get it. Same for the other Victorian Church Organ ap they make.

Close your eyes, play, and listen. You will be transported into a multi-layered world of sound. This pipe organ app sounds authentic and incredible. It also offers vast amounts of audio and midi customization...if you want it. Even if you don’t, it is”plug-and-play” out of the box. Well done!
