Description

This is a self-contained application capable of playing virtual instruments in the appropriate format, equally suited for offline desktop use and for integration with online resources.

Included is the simulation of the historic pipe organ of Cadaquers (Cadaqués), Catalonia.

The simulation is based on real multi-track recordings of the instrument and uses a custom audio engine implemented in Electron.

The project is part of www.teclats.cat, a long-term effort to document, virtually reconstruct, and preserve historical keyboard instruments through detailed sampling and analytical sound modelling.

This Electron-based package includes all required resources and does not require installation or an Internet connection.

At launch, the application opens in full-screen mode and provides immediate access to any instruments present in the /resources/app folder.
