Cinematique Instruments releases Sapphire 60

[cinematique]

Good day,

we are proudly announce the release of Sapphire 60.

The source of the SAPPHIRE 60 organ is the Hohner Symphonic 30N combo - a small organ, which was famous for its mean and unique sound mostly used in sixties beat music (but even a decade later famous bands such as Led Zeppelin used the organ during its 1972/73 UK tour.) It is a four octave mobile organ with 8 registers: two of the 16″, four of the 8″ and two of the 4″ octaves - each of them switchable. Besides that you have switches for vibrato and brilliance. Instead of transistors it uses glass tubes.

Our SAPPHIRE 60 is - typically for Cinematique Instruments - very versatile and suited for loads of music genres such as british rock, reggae, ska, pop and even scoremusic.

More infos, images and video are to see at: http://www.cinematique-instruments.com
The pricing is 19 EUR.

Thanks
Florian Kronenberg

Nice to see you doing quirky instruments again Eric.

I dunno that it's "quirky" though. This could be very funktional.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger but I'm a little nervous.

You see, I have "vintage organs". It should be name "clickage organs" because I can't use the cool older organ vibe stuff at all. All these nasty digital / xfade clicks.

Anyways, this could be VERY useful considering the demos but I just don't want any of that nasty digital/non intentional clicking!

Already using it

I bit immediately - I'm a real sucker for old organs!

This one's got loads of 'bad' character - a lot of fun to play and quite tweakable thanks to the continuous stops instead of the original on/off.

One minor (make that microscopic) nitpick: the 'vibrato' labelled Vibrato is not a vibrato but a tremolo (amplitude, not frequency fluctuation). The Vibrato Forte is a true vibrato, though.

Nice, mean organ!

Why we shouldn't...?

Concerning the vibrato you are right. Our intention was to simulate the original "light" vibrato. Saying so we decided to go this way. Loads of fun with it !

No, I think you should. I love your quirky instruments, and the demos you do for them. I was being positive about your work Eric.

I agree! The tremolo is quite useful.
