Online Organ

How the Online Organ Works

This free online organ brings a rich pipe organ sound to your browser, with no download, install or sign-up. It plays recorded organ samples across 37 keys, which is enough for hymns, preludes, practice and full chord work. The sound loads when the page opens, with a progress circle while it loads, and playing starts once every note is ready.

Play with Keyboard, Mouse or Touch

Play the organ by clicking the keys with a mouse, tapping on a touch screen or typing on your computer keyboard. The bottom letter row plays the white keys and the row above plays the black keys, with the top letter row and number row carrying on to the higher octave. The Keys and Notes buttons show or hide the labels, and the Play guide shows the layout. Behind the keys you can see the pipes stand taller or shorter as the pitch changes.

Organ Stops and Sustain

Three stops let you build the organ registration. The 8 foot stop is the normal pitch, 16 foot adds a rank an octave lower for weight, and 4 foot adds a rank an octave higher for brightness, so you can mix them for a full, cathedral style sound. Notes sustain for as long as you hold them, the Sustain Pedal is on by default, and holding the space bar acts like a pedal.

Transpose, Volume and Sound Settings

The Sound panel groups its round knobs into Notes, Space, Tone and Master. Notes controls playback speed, transpose, sustain length and touch dynamics, Space adds reverb, room size and echo, Tone shapes bass, mid, treble and warmth, and Master sets stereo width, compression and overall volume. Drag a knob up or down to change it, double-click to reset it, or pick a ready preset such as Concert hall, Warm vintage or Cathedral. The Transpose buttons move the organ up or down by semitones to match a singer or another instrument, the volume slider goes up to 200 percent, and your settings are remembered for your next visit.

Record, Play Back and Download

Use the Record button to capture whatever you play on the church organ. Your take shows on a timeline, so you can listen back, select a part by dragging and clear it when you want a fresh start. The Demo button plays a short tune you can record as well. In the Download panel you can export your recording as MP3 or WAV with your choice of bitrate, sample rate and mono or stereo, save the whole take or just the selected part, normalize the level, let the last notes ring out, trim silence at the start and add fades. Everything is created locally in your browser, with no upload and no sign-up.

Works on Every Screen

This online church organ works on desktop, tablet and mobile. The top right buttons switch the light or dark theme and full screen mode, and the layout resizes so it stays comfortable on any screen size.
