CREATING NEW COMBINATIONS STOPS :
ODF are ony TEXT files.
It is possible to create new  drawknobs. Some ODF may have lots of drawknobs, their number is unlimited.
One have only to introduce these drawknobs on the ODF text file.
Thanks to the controlss [General] et [Coupler] in GO of HW. REMARK :  HW and GO ODF are uncompatible.
(due to commercial reasons as HW is not free, and always competes against GO which is FREE.)

CREATIING NEW REGISTERS :
Add .wav of the register you want on the ODF. (Possible on GO, more difficult in HW, as SoundBanks are ENCODED !!!)

EXTENDING KEYBOARDS :
I added  supplementary keys in my historic, 18th century  St Maximin ODF organ. Extended up to 56 notes. (instead of 51 on the real historic organ where I played offently !). I just converted in frequency the last .wav from Key 51 up to 52,53, ... 56.
One have only to add these notes in the .wav folders describing the registers soundbanks.

Any complementary question ? Mail to :

EXAMPLE FOR THE SAINT MAXIMIN HISTORIC ORGAN  running GO :Watch the keyboards extensions ! Keyboards up t 56 keys, and new registrations and combinations drawknows which did'nt existed by years 1772 !  (du XVIIIème century...) :

Similar extensions can be done under HW. (But more difficult now, even impossible, due to the encrypted wav files).
