Complete Solutions for Hauptwerk organs
Welcome to the Silver Octopus Studios website.
We offer a complete solution for Hauptwerk installations for home or church including consultation and advice, design and planning, hardware and software plus final installation and tonal finishing. To our knowledge there is no other company in the UK that covers every single aspect of a Hauptwerk solution from one source.
What makes us unique is that we record and create our own sample sets including custom specifications to suit individual requirements.
Please use the sidebar on the left hand side to navigate around the site in greater detail.
Sample Sets
We have been involved with church organs for nearly five decades. Initially working with conventional pipe organs, we moved into the world of pipeless instruments during their rapid technological expansion in the last quarter of the twentieth century.
With over 30 years experience in creating sample sets for organs for other digital organ manufacturers and since 20003, for the Hauptwerk software platform, we are one of the longest established sample set producers.
In addition to our "off the shelf" sample sets of existing or composite instruments, we are also able to create custom instruments to suit individual requirements.
We have a library archive of many hundreds of stops to choose from sampled from instruments throughout the UK and elsewhere.
Hardware
We can supply everything that might be required for a pipeless organ installation from the basic console, amplification and speakers to the computers, software and audio interfaces needed.
The various components are sourced from a number of specialist established manufacturers and supply houses most of whom we have been involved with for many years.
In addition, we have a number of contacts who specialise in obtaining and converting former consoles for use with the Hauptwerk platform.

N.B. Some sample sets may not work with basic older versions of Hauptwerk or the entry level version of the new Hauptwerk V and above because these editions do not include some of the features that are necessary for our libraries to work fully on the Hauptwerk platform.
