Lakeside Pipe Black Friday pricing takes 50% off this Soundiron Kontakt library of a vintage Oakland pipe organ, so the Lakeside Pipe Organ comes to $24.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
The instrument sits in the Lakeside Temple of Practical Christianity, in downtown Oakland, California. It is a steel and wooden pipe organ that makes sound by pushing compressed air through 850 steel pipes and wooden reeds across 15 ranks.
Every pipe sounds one fixed pitch, so pipes come in sets with at least one per note. Each set, called a stop, keeps the same timbre and loudness from bottom to top.
The real organ has three keyboards and a pedal board for bass notes, and each one drives its own group of stops. A player can use stops singly or stack them.
The pipes cover 61 keys starting at C2. Soundiron stretched the lowest note down to C-2, which gives you notes deeper than the physical pipes can reach.
Soundiron recorded 5 essential stop settings with master organist Don Sears. They line up with PP, P, MP, MF and FF dynamics, and each one was captured from two wide stereo mic positions, close and far.
Version 2.0 improves key-mapping and playability, and adds a full set of new automatable performance, effect and arpeggiator controls. The library first came out in 2009 under the Tonehammer name.
The interface has a step-sequencing arpeggiator, LFOs and DSP multi-effects including delay, flanger, filter and convolution reverb. The reverb section holds 115 custom impulse responses recorded in real-world spaces, plus FX impulses for evolving atmospheres.
A bonus collection adds sound-designed ambiences, drones and special FX presets. The Kontakt presets and wav samples are unlocked, so you can customise them.
The download is 1.85 GB installed, with 1,584 samples as 16 bit / 44.1 kHz uncompressed PCM wav and 27 Kontakt 3.5.nki presets.
It needs the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 or above. In the free Kontakt Player it only runs in demo mode.
