New sample set by Sweelinq: the German Sonnen organ
Sweelinq adds another new sample set. This time it is the turn of the Sonnen organ of the Peterskirche. This church is located in the German town of Görlitz and is also known as the church St Peter and Paul.
The beginnings of the Sonnen organ
In 1691, the church was hit by a severe fire. Six years later, Eugenio Casparini and his son Adam Horatio began work on a new organ. This new model had 57 stops divided into three manuals and a pedal. The organ case contained 17 suns with pipes of equal length behind them: the Sonnen structure.
Different opinions
In 1703, the organ was consecrated and in 1704 a detailed description was made by Christian Ludwig Boxberg. After this, the organ attracted a lot of attention. Tsar Peter I of Russia, for instance, became so impressed by the instrument that he commissioned Boxberg to design a ‘Monstre Orgue’ in St Petersburg. By contrast, Bach called it a ‘horse organ’ because of its heavy playability, and he was not alone in criticising it.
Later developments of the organ
Between 1845 and 1847, repairs and extensions were carried, increasing the organ from 57 to 64 stops. Just over a century later, in 1926, a completely new instrument with 89 stops was built. In 1979 the church underwent a restoration during which the organ was removed. In 1990, plans followed for a new organ inspired by the old model. Today it is an organ with 96 stops and six horizontal reeds (‘Engelwerk’).
Connecting Sweelinq
Before using Sweelinq, there are a few things important to figure out. For example, you will need a computer to run the programme on. A connection will then need to be made between your organ and computer. This will send the signals from the organ to Sweelinq and the audio from the organ to the speakers. There are sound cards for this. Would you like to know more about connecting Sweelinq? Click here for more information.
Good to know
Good to know is that the Sonnen-Mixtur and the Engelwerk have been excluded from the sample set at the church's express request. The Sonnen organ is additionally equipped with a General Crescendo, which will become available after the launch of Sweelinq 3.
Sweelinq is a programme with different organ samples and can be used on the Content Cambiare Suite and Cambiare 312 Sweelinq.

Sweelinq in the SVO-3
Sweelinq is the heart of the Johannes de Heer SVO-3, providing access to a growing library of high-quality sample sets of famous organs. Each organ is recorded pipe by pipe with advanced microphone techniques, capturing both the direct sound and the natural acoustics of the room.
Thanks to the infinitely adjustable reverb, you can choose between a dry, direct sound or a spatial reverb that does justice to the original church space - like the impressive acoustics of the church of our lady in Dorderecht. These samples are not only faithfully captured, but also optimised for fast load times and realistic wind behaviour. So with the SVO-3 and Sweelinq, you don't just get a virtual organ, but an immersive playing experience.
This organ runs on the Sweelinq programme. Sweelinq is a subscription form and costs €131.88 per year.
