Just want to say the organs youve provided as freeware are just amazing. Beautiful instruments. And the updates youve been providing are really fantastic.

It feels bad asking, since youve been so good already to the freeware community but theres one single feature request I have for both the combo model v and farfisa emulation - a built in stereo expander. So, much like rhodes/piano emulations/samples, notes are panned across the stereo field - with a knob that goes from mono to 100% width. Simply because, organs, like pads, become very 'vivid' when they have that natural expansion, and are great for mixing. And the effect is best achieved at the initial vst level.

The work around right now is to duplicate the organ, use an eq to separate them into different bands, then pan each differently. Which can be a little clunky and not as effective as a built in scaling panning. With notes gradually panned further right at the higher notes, and left at the lowest notes this would sound really great. Then a single knob to control how far they scale together.

Anyways, thanks so much for everything. Really love the instruments!

Maybe I'm too old school, but since these are faithful VST emulation of the originals, I would ask, did the originals have stereo expander functions? If not, don't add them. It's not a big thing to use another plugin to achieve that (there are many free options here at kvr), or to run two instances as you suggest in your work around above. I'm not saying your request isn't worth the developer's consideration, just that I prefer them "stock".

Works with sm pro v-machine! But at 7-10 notes it starts to crackle (1 ghz cpu). Using it with Axiom 49 sliders, and it feels very organic. I also have very rare soviet transistor organ from '68 - Gamma/ Estradin 9. It has really fine selection of voices (five 8' voices, two 4' voices, two 2' voices, one 'T voice), Vibrato intensity, Vibrato speed, Volume control. The keyboard is 3,5 octaves C-e2. Can go from soft and mellow tone to biting T' (turbo?) tone. Voice select are buttons, the keyboard is very piano-like, unlike vermonas or farfisas, probably made to pianists liking.

Thanks for your feedback, I will consider it.

Cool! Is that with the cab sim enabled? Because with it disabled I think you should be able to play more notes.

Perfect and very easy Organ emulation.

How do I map MIDI? The menu does not let me click on "MIDI MAP".

You can click on the Learn toggle switch (above the MIDI Channel slider) to arm MIDI learn.

Wow Tale, I can't believe these are free, they sound great. Thank you for your generosity!

I am trying to click "MIDI MAP" at the bottom of the screen. I clicked on the Learn toggle switch, but I still cannot click on "MIDI MAP" at the bottom. When I click "MIDI MAP" nothing happens!

That is intended behaviour, i.e. you can't click on "MIDI MAP", you can click on "LOAD", "SAVE" and "CLEAR" though. BTW, MIDI learning and saving the learned MIDI map is described in detail in the PDF manual (in chapters 3.14 and 3.15).

Really surprised to find this plugin removed from the site, anyone know why?
