The stops on the St. Anne's Moseley organ are controlled by different MIDI notes as follows. The only one I could not find a MIDI note for is the Great and Pedal Pistons Coupled.
The first two recordings I produced, hymn 603 and 263, from The Lutheran Hymnal (1941) were made using a cheap reverb unit that came with Music Creator 5, but I now have a more expensive reverb program, IK Multimedia's CSR Studio Reverb, that came with Notion 3 (a music notation program) that I figured out how to install. The first recording to use this better reverb unit was hymn 140. I will try to redo 603 and 263 when I get a chance.
1. Jesus, I will ponder now
On Thy holy Passion;
With Thy Spirit me endow
For such meditation.
Grant that I in love and faith
May the image cherish
Of Thy suffering, pain, and death,
That I may not perish.
2. Make me see Thy great distress,
Anguish, and affliction,
Bonds and stripes and wretchedness
And Thy crucifixion;
Make me see how scourge and rod,
Spear and nails, did wound Thee,
How for man Thou diedst, O God,
Who with thorns had crowned Thee.
3. Yet, O Lord, not thus alone
Make me see Thy Passion,
But its cause to me make known
And its termination.
Ah! I also and my sin
Wrought Thy deep affliction;
This indeed the cause hath been
Of Thy crucifixion.
4. Grant that I Thy Passion view
With repentant grieving
Nor Thee crucify anew
By unholy living.
How could I refuse to shun
Every sinful pleasure
Since for me God's only Son
Suffered without measure?
5. If my sins give me alarm
And my conscience grieve me,
Let Thy cross my fear disarm,
Peace of conscience give me.
Grant that I may trust in Thee
And Thy holy Passion.
If His Son so loveth me,
God must have compassion.
6. Grant that I may willingly
Bear with Thee my crosses,
Learning humbleness of Thee,
Peace mid pain and losses.
May I give Thee love for love!
Hear me, O my Savior,
That I may in heaven above
Sing Thy praise forever.
Hymn #140 The Lutheran Hymnal
Text: Luke 18: 31-34
Author: Sigismund v. Birken, 1653
Translated by: August Crull, 1923, alt.
Titled: "Jesu, deine Passion"
Composer: Melchior Vulpius, 1609
Tune: "Jesu Kreuz, Leiden und Pein"
The pipe organ music you find on this blog was produced using a VSTi (Virtual Studio Technology instrument) called Hauptwerk. Here is a view of what the console looks like when open in Cakewalk Music Creator 5.
I open Hauptwerk in my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), Cakewalk Music Creator, in order to apply reverbation to the sound and give it some ambience, otherwise the sound is very "dry."
In order to control the console and make it play music I use Noteworthy Composer 2. Each staff in Noteworthy is tied to the manuals and pedal. The swell manual is on MIDI channel 3, great manual is on MIDI channel 2, and the pedal board is on MIDI channel 1.
The MIDI interface between Hauptwerk and Noteworthy is MIDI Yoke. In Noteworthy I changed the staff properties to use MIDI Yoke as the playback device so the information gets routed to the organ.
The MIDI channels on the VSTi must correspond to the same ones used on the individual staves in Noteworthy.
Here is the list of all the channels on the organ with their corresponding staves on Noteworthy.

The stops on the organ are also controlled by different MIDI notes, but I will cover that in separate post.
