While Hauptwerk is a solution for a small church to get a massive sounding organ for a low budget (related to a pipe organ), it is still rather expensive for private pipe organ fans who use to play it at home just for fun and only sometimes.

Hauptwerk Free Edition 4.2.1.3 is the last free Hauptwerk full version. So latter versions will not be available for free.

Though there are several free soundsets available on the web, mostly these sets are unusable for Free Edition, because there are some restrictions:
- The program can load sound sets up to 1.5 GB size at a time, so you might have to disable some ranks (as I remember, total sample set size is max 4 GB)
- Polyphony is limited to 256 voices / pipes
- 24-bit or 32-bit samples sets will work fully, but can be loaded in a maximum of 16-bit resolution
- Non commercial, home personal use only

However, I like Hauptwerk organ because it sounds great.

Hi Software.informer,
Thank you for publishing Hauptwerk. I appreciate your work. Several samplesets have been released over the years and with numerous updates, this version cannot load the latest samplesets in hand.

Would be great if you could upload the latest version of Hauptwerk, which is probably think to be Hauptwerk Version 8. But with the ilok technology, things have been made difficult. I hope you will take steps to come up with version 8.
