This is going to sound really preachy, so apologies in advance!

If you haven't yet got round to donating and enjoy the Model V and new Model F, you should think about giving a donation to thank him for these instruments. Just go to http://www.martinic.com/combov/ and click "Donate". The same applies to other freeware too of course...

Amen!

I have fixed the bug that caused ComboF to not make any sound after loading, so v0.8.1 alpha is online now.

Thank you Martinic for this nice instrument.

You are welcome.

I have just uploaded v0.8.2 alpha:

Corrected Multi-Tone/All Booster levels
Tweaked noise, chatter and mains hum
Added lock tuning, so tuning persists when changing presets
Double-click instead of single-click on top to open settings window
Minor tweaks (footage labels, slider values position)

Forgot to say it earlier but this newest version sounds great. Another phenomenal combo organ plugin. Thanks!

just did a track with and it sounds great. fit's into a mix easily with a lot of other instruments, and sounds phenomenal by itself. I'll try out the update. thanks a bunch.

You are welcome.

I am working on the extend bass now, which will extend the bass from one to two octaves (just like on the more advanced Farfisas), so I will post another update probably somewhere this week.

You are welcome.

I have just released v0.8.3 alpha:

Implemented extended bass (like on the Combo Deluxe Compact)
Louder bass voice
Added auto adjust volume parameter which "boosts" softer voices (Dolce and Principale)
Added noise gate parameter, so noise gate can be switched off
Remodelled vibrato
Show/edit vibrato speed adjust in Hz
Added smoothing filter to knee lever and volume pedal
Fixed excessive pops/clicks when switching voices
Added MIDI Program Change support
[Mac OS X] DMG installers

EDIT: I have just uploaded a audio sample of Combo Model F called Farfisa Blues in C. The first time around you get an almost Hammond-like sound, the 2nd time around you get the typical Farfisa sound.

Congrats! You've made a great instrument! (and 1st farfisa organ emulator available [as far i know]). I've tried your farfisa emulator - it sounds really good! Plenty of character, i like it. So to the point:
I thought about binding pitch-wheel to vibrato speed. It makes perfect sense to me as vibrato on/off is modulation wheel, vibrato speed might as well be nearby. However it is impossible in current version. I'm using Axiom 49, and i've tried many organs, I even sampled combo-organs myself. I think this option would be cool.
Now i think you should add sustain option (standard cc#64). I've already written some songs involving sustain switch, so i could free my hands for another keyboard (I talk about live playing here, in recording all this doesn't matter as you could just write automation), and it would be a shame to give up such a nice instrument in favor of the mediocre one with sustain option.

And just to dream a little bit: I've been looking for someone to make transistor-sounding piano. Rock-si-chord sound was pretty good, but as a kontakt library it ate ridiculous amount of cpu power (which i better dedicate to lower latency than to sample library). Anyway you could just use your Farfisa organ engine to make Farfisa Professional Piano. . I love the sound (and can't nail it using any vst i've tried). It is said that pro piano also uses velocity sensitive keyboard! This sparkling sound is very rare (and beautiful), I must say.
