On the one hand it's great that you work on this so much!

On the other hand, I can barely keep up with installing the new versions!

Thanks for this!

BTW, I have ported the ComboF changes to Combo Model V, so there is another update for y'all to keep up with.

I first discovered these just a few months ago. For freebies, they sound great, and I've mentioned them to friends. I hope you're getting some donations for your efforts! You're all putting a lot of work into these, and it shows.

If there are better modeled "combo organs" out there in a VST, I haven't heard them.

"For freebies"? Even if they were 49.99, they sound great!

Believe me, I've been looking actively for competitors at any price level, but found none with the same dedication to authenticity, playability and superb sound.

That they are donationware (please note!) is one of life's mysteries.

Actually, the Website states that they're "freeware":

"About

Combo Model V is a freeware virtual combo organ, modelled after a well-known combo organ from the 1960s."

But that also leads to my point: the link for donations is relatively small and near the ads on the left side of the screen. The text stating "Donations are appreciated" is so small, it's barely readable. The donation link is probably missed more times than it's seen.

Martinic may not want to make it look like they're "begging" for donations, but I think everyone would understand a larger (or more centrally placed) link for the donation, in addition to them re-labeling the VSTs as "donationware". Then again, they may not want to "commercialize" the products, and I can understand that, too. I just know they--like most of the great plug-in developers here--do this because they enjoy it.
