Sandy Creek Organ

Vintage Thomas Monticello Organ for Kontakt

This worn-out vintage Thomas Monticello organ is captured by Sandy Creek Organ in its final moments. This treasure was left to Soundiron by a kind neighbor, and it had a tale to tell. This particular organ appears to have served as a home to a great number of little creatures who left their imprint all over the interior during the intervals when it wasn't in use as a musical instrument. It remained there at their old Sand Creek studio until they managed to get it to function just long enough to solve some of its musical puzzles.

Soundiron recorded two microphone positions: up near and room, in order to fully convey the charm of this antique treasure. Six distinct sustain types—two of which have rotating Leslie speakers—each with round robin and releases, as well as a range of sound effects, are included in Sandy Creek Organ. As always, they have provided a variety of well made ambiences and imaginative FX settings to help spark your imagination. The Thomas Monticello that Soundiron actually recorded may have come to an end, but it will always be remembered as the Sandy Creek Organ.

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more.

This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. The customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. They’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.

The interface is rounded-out by their modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes their favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. They’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
