combosister - Transistor
Organ
VST AU VST
The great single transistor combo organ emulation for Windows
compatible VST Hosts.
We examined in microscopic detail the characteristics of Rheem Mk VII,
Farfisa Compact and Vox Continental, which were used as reference for
the sound design of the Combo Sister along with some new ideas for
added creative potential.
The result is an instrument that is not merely a clone of a single
organ model, but an original virtual instrument which captures the
feeling of that fantastic retro sound and catapults that "experience"
into the future.
Unique to this emulation is the ability to have a mix of the Vox +
Farfisa sound! This is achieved by a combination of drawbars, timbre
switches and oscillator bank selections.
Much scientific analysis has been carried out to design the several
filters which shape the timbre of Combo
Sister, even to the extent of a software simulation of
original analogue schematics.
Combo Sister-it's
a world
of organ sounds to discover and an exciting source for you favorite
audio processors. The rich harmonic content of her sound is ideal for
processing, allowing you to evoke many moods and create an infinite
palette of luminescent tonal colors.
As you know, from past to present, transistor Combo Organs have been
used extensively by these artists:
The Animals, Status Quo, Doors, Pink Floyd, Sly Stone, Iron Butterfly,
Smash Mouth, Madness, Elvis Costello And The Attractions, The Monkeys,

Schulze, and Jean Michelle Jarre.
