GoOdf is a tool for creating (and editing) organ definition files (.organ files) for GrandOrgue in a graphical user interface that doesn't require any manual editing of the text in the file at all. Remember that you will most likely need some samples to reference to from the .organ file! Either download or create them if you want to have a fully functional organ to "Open" in GrandOrgue!
