GENPO is a software that emulates the main characteristics of a pipe, theatre or reed organ. It provides a versatile solution in replicating the sound of these instruments.
GENPO, a software program that replicates the essential features of any pipe, theatre, or reed organ, is an excellent choice for organ enthusiasts. The program is designed to read a description of an organ in a .org XML file format and presents a user interface that allows users to operate the organ with ease.
GENPO software has numerous high-quality organ "SoundFonts" that are freely available, and the .org file maps the stop sounds to the organ manuals and stops. Additionally, there are other useful facilities such as couplers and presets that users can take advantage of.
With GENPO, users can connect one or more MIDI keyboards to provide the organ manuals. Furthermore, users can even assign a keyboard to be the "pedalboard" if so desired.
To run GENPO, users must have a QT version greater than or equal to 3.x (KDE is not required), ALSA version greater than or equal to 0.9 (Linux 2.6 includes ALSA), an interface supporting MIDI, MIDI keyboard (the more, the merrier), and a soundcard that supports SoundFonts. The software has been developed and tested with a SoundBlaster Live! soundcard, but users can also use other soundcards.
Overall, GENPO is an impressive software program that allows organ enthusiasts to have an authentic experience of playing a pipe, theatre, or reed organ from the comfort of their own computer.
