The problems with crossplatform Jack is that there's little

infrastructure in Windows and OS X for Jack. The current release for

Windows has a version of qjackctl which makes setting up jack very

difficult. And I haven't been able to figure out how to select the

midi driver...
That goes for the OS X version as well: jackpilot gui doesn't let the

user choose the coremidi (the only sane midi driver) for jack. This

means that It's pretty easy to get the crossplatform client going, but

you can't really play it.
This is the reason I started working on the VSTi.

Yes, but I don't use them at all. Faust has a way to do rapid

crossplatform prototyping, but they don't really help you when you

want to have a proper application around the DSP code it has

generated.

This extra sound you're referring to is probably the percussion

feature. It is activated only when the first key is struck down. Note

that because the keys of the organ are just contact switches turning

on and off, there's a click audible when you press down a key. This

sound is audible for example on the 2nd manual with brightness fully

on. That is part of the sound of the organ.

If I recall correctly, the 32 bit version (if you didn't download a

specific i686 version) is not using SSE. Without SSE, the processing

is just way too much for most computers.
