Really like the combo... would it be possible to add adsr?

Not without a partial rewrite of the model, so at least for now it is not possible.

On a side note: I have been experimenting with a seperate effect plug-in that triggers and automates the volume pedal to create a channel-based ADSR effect. This effect is what is called "percussion" in old Farfisa and Gibson combo organs. If I would develop this idea further, then this new effect plug-in could be used with ComboV as well as with other virtual instruments. Then again, such an effect plug-in may already exist, I don't know.

I am trying to use Combo Model V in Cubase LE (the version bundled with the Presonus Inspire) on OSX Tiger. It is listed as a VST but is "oranged out". The AU version works fine in Garageband. Any advice would be welcomed.

I am not familiar with that edition of Cubase. However, Google says that certain Cubase LE versions will only load two VST instruments at the time, so perhaps that is the problem?

Thank you very much for the freebie for a 64-bit environment! I confess I wasn't enthused about an organ, but your plug-in looks great and I'm pretty sure it'll sound even better!

EDIT: I went and tested it in ORION x64. It seems to work fine so far. But I would have to write a song using it...

There's something maybe you should modify in the x64 installer. It should not install (by default) to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins". Just remove the "(x86)" including the space before; the "C:\Program Files\" folder should be for 64-bit software only. A minor thing, really, but I felt it needed to be pointed out.

Again, thanks for your generosity!

Thanks for reporting. I have just uploaded v1.0.4 RC2, which should fix this, and another issue:

Load/save default MIDI map now uses data path instead of plug-in path
Better detection of VST plug-ins path during installation
