AudioThing releases "Organetta" for Kontakt

AudioThing has released Organetta for Native Instrument Kontakt.

The Organetta is a small portable reed organ made in the late 50s by the German company Hohner. The sound is generated by an electric fan that blows air into a set of brass reeds hence the sound is reminiscent of something in between a melodica and an accordion.

The instrument has been sampled with two mics: a large diaphragm condenser mic and a piezo attached to the chassis. The fan noise has been removed from the samples but it is possible to add it to the mix. There are also 6 round robin of the key down and up noises.

Details:

• 6 Kontakt Instruments (.nki).
• 114 Samples (44.1kHz / 24-bit).
• Two Mics (condenser and piezo).
• 17 sec long notes samples.
• 30+ sec long fan samples.
• Formats: Kontakt and WAV.

• Size: 618 MB / 266 MB download.

Price: €16. Organetta is available for the introductory price of €12.90 until July, 22nd, 2013.
