This one might surprise you.  I figured there was no way you could put an Organ into an EZkeys format, much less a pipe organ, but the Toontrack developers did it for guys like me who try to cobble together songs for our amusement and the part time client base.
 
The first thing I thought was, what about all those slide-y things and buttons?  I won't be able to adjust those.  Well, the fact is, I'm a bassist and a hack guitarist, not a keyboardist, so I don't really know how to get the best sounds by manipulating all those things anyway.  I always grab a preset on any organ soft synth and run with it.  So, figure that someone that knows how to set up a pipe organ has done that for you.

So if you are classically trained church organist, I don't know if this one is going to send shivers up your spine.  In fact you might be frustrated a bit, but if you are a home songwriter and you want real pipe organ sound, this might work for you.
 
BTW, I was surprised at how the product reminded me of some of my favorite classic progressive recordings.  Must have been more pipe organs in those recordings than I imagined.

Sounds ok. I tend to use the one in Kontakt. Sounds huge.

This is much cooler than I thought it would be.  Some great sounds that
would work well in prog rock tunes.
 
All that said, I am still waiting for an EZKeys Hammond organ......

I have trouble saying no to Toontrack. Still waiting for a Superior Drummer 3 but not too sure what it needs for that big an update.

Wow, BassFather, didn't know that one. Sure looks interesting.

At last. Forgive me for I have sinned.
