AudioThing Wurly - Vintage Electric Piano, Wurlitzer Plugin - Update v1.1

[Tappistry]

My mom used to play piano and organ. I fired up this and Philicorda for her to play over the holidays and she had so much fun with them.

Particularly with Philicorda she said it reminded her of the organ she used to have in her house as a kid. Don’t remember which exact organ it was, but it had all the switches and wood foot pedals.

Thanks for sharing! A lot of organs from that period used top octave generator designs, so they often had a very similar sound.

I got the scoop, it was a Thomas organ! It looked sort of like this, and might have been as old as from the 1950s. It was sold in my grandma’s estate sale a while ago.

As far as I understand, string machines use the same (or very similar) technology and architecture. I’d love to see you bring out a string machines with a true ensemble effect! Any chance you have an interest? Since we lost Loomer, we don’t have a quality string machine for Linux.

Yes, pretty much the same technology. We actually already have a string machine

It might be a bit less known, but it is a nice little synth. The ensemble effect is quite different from the more common classic BBD chorus and ensemble designs.

Interesting! I must have forgotten about this. I’ll investigate. Thanks for the info!

Me too. Thanks to this thread, I just (re)discovered it, on my boot SSD.

It's a lovely instrument, and very malleable. Its character reminds me a bit of my ancient Hammond Extravoice, R.I.P.

Maybe it's the name. res-09 isn't the most evocative name in the world, is it? Even if it's on the Roland original label It's even on sale right now – just 34 bucks!
