Symphonic Organ
The ultimate cinematic organ
The ultimate cinematic organ
Achieve that awe-inspiring cinematic sound made famous in blockbuster scores such as Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Tron. Presenting the Rugby School Chapel organ — a monstrous, 3,721-pipe, cathedral-sized organ housed in an intimate chapel — creating an epic but immediate sound like no other. To capture its unique depth, power and beauty, we teamed up with composer, producer and organ expert Andy Richards, who has curated stop combinations for instant playability, enabling you to get the best out of this beautifully-voiced instrument. His impressive discography includes work on huge film scores, including Slumdog Millionaire, and records by iconic artists from Grace Jones to George Michael. Every pitch has been recorded with multiple mic positions for ultimate realism and control, accompanied by 50 mind-bending warped presets presented in our eDNA engine.

This organ has a brightness and presence that no other instrument can provide. Thanks to this library, you’ll be able to do something with this organ that no organist has ever done.
A hugely versatile instrument now widely used beyond its original church or horror film setting, the organ is perfect for adding depth, power and beauty to orchestral scores and compositions. As well as in renowned symphonic works such as Saint-Saens’ Organ Symphony, the organ provides the foundations for countless blockbuster film scores of various genres, including Koyaanisqatsi (Philip Glass), Vertigo (Bernard Herrmann), Interstellar (Hans Zimmer), 2001: A Space Odyssey (from Richard Strauss’ 1896 work Also Sprach Zarathustra) and Tron (Wendy Carlos). There is no orchestral instrument that can go lower in pitch, giving you thunderous sub-bass like depth that you feel rather than hear.
As soon as Spitfire founder and composer Paul Thomson heard the Rugby School Chapel Organ, he knew Spitfire had to sample it.
Heard in the opening sequence to Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, the contrast of this cathedral-sized organ — four manuals (keyboards), 71 stops (of which 55 are speaking stops) and 3,721 pipes — with its intimate chapel acoustic setting, creates an epic sound, producing a unique intensity and immediacy. Expertly recorded and presented, this definitive organ library has been designed to fit perfectly with our Symphonic range, enabling you to create rich sounding scores.
The space compresses the sound, creating a battering of the senses.

FAQs
Why do I need this product?
We have sampled a cathedral-sized organ in an intimate chapel, giving you an intensity and immediacy of sound which blends with our symphony orchestra range and is perfect for adding ultimate depth, power and beauty to your film scores. The curated stop combinations make this ideal for anyone unfamiliar with the instrument, as well as professional organists, enabling you to get the very best out of this beautifully voiced instrument. Like all of our other libraries it has been expertly sampled, with multiple microphone positions, from right inside the pipes to the furthest corners of the room, from beautiful, soft tones to thunderous, ground-shaking cinematic power.
What is the difference between Union Chapel Organ and Symphonic Organ?
Symphonic Organ is a much more powerful sounding organ, recorded in an intimate location for a more immediate sound. Union Chapel Organ was recorded in the more reverberant Union Chapel — still hugely powerful, but with a more ambient sound. Symphonic Organ is entirely made up of stop combinations for instant playability, while Union Chapel Organ gives you mostly individual stops, with a small number of stop curations. Union Chapel Organ gives you Close, Stereo, Ambient and Outrigger mic positions, while Symphonic Organ offers you six different microphone positions, from microphones right inside the organ to ambient mics placed at the furthest corners of the space.
