This app supports Audio Unit v3, Audiobus and Inter-App Audio for audio & MIDI connections from/to other audio apps, as well as Bluetooth LE MIDI !
iCathedral Organ generates the sound of a lovely and color rich pipe organ of a real cathedral. All individual organ stops of such a pipe organ were recorded to resemble this sound as realistic as possible. You can fully adjust all individual organ stops to create your own sounds and save them as your personal sound presets. Or simply select one of the factory presets to play impressive organ sounds right from the start.

• Polyphony up to several hundred stereo voices.²
• Configurable audio latency down to 1 ms.
• Low latency disk streaming.

• Provides Audio Unit v3 plugin version of this app, which allows it to be used as virtual instrument directly within third-party multi-track DAW apps (requires iOS 9.3 or higher).
• Audiobus support.
• Supports Apple's "IAA" system for audio & MIDI streaming between other apps.
• Virtual on-screen piano keyboard, scalable & scrollable.
MIDI Player / Recorder:

• Use the "Tempo Zoom" dial knob to i.e. slow down playback at any time and learn your favorite songs more easily.

Best Sound
Best sounds and presets however presets cannot be changed fast enough. I use midi designer app to change preset with 1 click but it's still not fast enough and also not smooth. It needs to have organ stops, pistons, and preset like real organ. It also should have midi learn capability as well. It also needs to have the ability to customize keyboard for great, swell, choir, and pedal. It's a great app if you can use multiple ipads to accomplish the above. I use Jeux D'orgues app as well but this app sounds better. Jeux D'orgues does have the functionality above but this app preset is better. Overall it is a great app but still needs a lot of work to make it practical for an organist. It would be great if we could have iPhone app available as well by the way. Just a quick feedback for crudebyte developers....
stevekeyz,
Spectacular design
However, sample quality could be cleaner. Some distortion audible through amplification.
Si Joni,
The latest version consuming huge battery resources
I am using ipad mini 2
Cambonetbone,
I love the pipe organ!
I like the organ from Disney's "The Haunted Mansion", in Magic Kingdom, in Walt Disney World.

TozBourne,
Glorious sounds
This app has a high quality and very dynamic sound set from the huge cathedral type to that of a more delicate chapel organ. It's really good. This operates the same as the other Crudebyte apps with MIDI in/recording/playback and uses Inter App Audio (IAA).
Worth it for the on-sale price, or through a bundle.
