Armley Volume 2 (57 stop) miscellaneous update patches

These patches correct the following problems:

1. Incorrect tuning information was stored within note 70 (middle A#) of the Choir Cornett samples. This is only noticeable when using temperaments other than the original organ temperament, when the pitch of this pipe sounds two semi-tones too high.

2. Two notes of the Pedal Violon 16’ have been discarded and re-pitched from neighbouring samples. Although there was nothing technically wrong with the samples themselves, the unsteady speech of the pipes was found to be unacceptable, particularly when using alternative temperaments.

3. An issue with the medium note duration release of the Pedal Quinte, note 48 (tenor C). Only the surround sample is affected.

Little Waldingfield and Groton

There are updated organ definition files available for both Groton and Little Waldingfield.  The change in each case is a minor one - the keys of the coupled manual now move whereas before they did not. For example, if you draw Swell to Great and play on the Great, the keys will also move on the Swell organ.
NB The following two updates are only applicable if using versions of these organs that have been downloaded from the main Hauptwerk Instruments website (ie https://www.hauptwerk.com/downloads/instrument-downloads/ )

Groton v1.01 update (48kB)

There is also a Version 2 Little Waldingfield organ which features the following changes:

• The Great Mixture is split into two stops - Sesquialtera Bass and Cornet Treble.

• The Great Flute 4 is now full compass - the missing bass notes are borrowed from the Stop Diapason.

• Keys on coupled manuals move as described above.
