Five Iconic Organs, Made For MPC3
Vintage Organs 3 is a collection of expressive keygroup instruments multisampled from five classic tone wheel and combo organs; the Hammond B3 and A-100, the Vox Continental, the Elka Panther 300, and the Farfisa Compact.
New v3 update: Now with added support for MPC3 advanced keygroups and Q-LINK adjustable FX & organ mechanics!.
The Organs
The expansion features the following 5 tone wheel and combo organs, all fully multisampled and mapped to MPC3 advanced keygroups:
- Hammond B-3 - the legendary tonewheel organ with its warm, rich tones and gritty roar
- Hammond A-100 - the popular 'cabinet' version of the B-3.
- Farfisa Compact - a bright, aggressive, and reedy tone which defined the sound of 1960s garage rock, psychedelia, and pop.
- Vox Continental - famous for its distinctive, piercing, and reedy tone
- Elka Panther 300 - featuring a bold, rich, and versatile Italian combo organ sound.
In total there's 95 ready-to-play instrument patches recorded from different organ configurations, all utilising different FX and track parameters to achieve a custom collection of organ tones and textures.
