Martinic Retro Pack Bundle of 2 effects and 2 instruments

Achieve authentic vintage vibes "in-the-box" with the Retro Pack. This bundle of precisely modelled instruments and effects will allow you to recreate that nostalgic mojo without the need for a time machine.

Elka Panther

The Elka Panther 300, also known as the Capri, is a classic Italian combo organ of the 60s.

The instrument produces bold, rich organ sounds and has a wide range of tonal variations (13). The Panthers 16', 8', 4' Stops and Mixture voice levels are adjustable. Each note spans over three octaves, there is bass extension into grey keys and separate volume control for bass octave(s).

Tone Decay adds percussive effect to Mixture voices. The Panther has powerful vibrato with speed and intensity control.

The Elka Panther is also available as part of the Retro Pack, a collection of Martinic's grooviest instruments and effects with a bundle discount.

History

Available as early as 1966, the Elka Panther was designed to have it all. Tweakable and versatile, families of sound would be activated using plastic switches – the on/off equivalent of pulling out stops on an organ. The switches controlled which family of sounds were activated, and were laid out horizontally in order of their pitch.

Kee Bass

Bring some groovy, bassy vibes back from the ‘60s and straight into your music with Martinic’s faithful emulation of one of the first monophonic string bass simulators, the Rheem Kee Bass.

The Martinic Kee Bass VST/AU/CLAP plugin is based on the original electronic schema and an actual physical Kee Bass. Firstly Martinic modeled the instrument precisely (no sampling at all), then a few modern features were added to make it more versatile and unique, such as an extended range, a filter, and modulation.

History

The Kee Bass was one of the first monophonic string bass emulators. Note tuning was accomplished through individual trim pots, one per key. This made tuning relatively easy and accurate. They have a limited lifespan, however, if one key ‘went’, the others would remain stable, making for an easy fix and a reliable product. The Kee Bass, interestingly, used the same power supply that was used for televisions at the time.

Lem Echo Music

The Lem Echo Music plugin recreates the nostalgic tones of the vintage Italian tape delay effect from Lem. Martinic’s authentic emulation simulates the classic sound of three playheads on one strip of tape, with all the wonderful wow, flutter, and degradation of the original.

We’ve also added enhanced features not found on the original effect to make this plugin even more customisable when crafting your sound.

History

During the late 60s and throughout the 70s, the pairing of an electric organ with a tape echo unit was common. Organists such as Lenny Dee modified their organs with a tape delay to add another dimension to their sound. Units like the LEM Echo Music provided organists with the option of sending their low-frequency bass tone to an output of its own, and they could wield tighter control of EQ and delay parameters for each component of their sound.

Scanner Vibrato

The newly updated Scanner Vibrato is a virtual effect plugin that precisely recreates the scanner-vibrato effect from the legendary tonewheel organ we all love. Now improved with our trademarked ACE® modeling technique, the Scanner Vibrato is also available as part of the Retro Pack, a collection of Martinic's grooviest instruments and effects with a bundle discount.

History

The original scanner-vibrato was developed in the 1940s, and was an analog, electromechanical device, consisting of an analog delay line and a mechanical rotor ("scanner"). The rotor was driven by the organ's internal motor, and therefore its rate was fixed at about 6.9 Hz. The original scanner-vibrato could produce both chorus and vibrato effects, and it offered three depth presets.

Martinic Scanner Vibrato is modelled closely on the original scanner-vibrato, so it offers the same features (and flaws), perfectly preserving the character of the original effect. However, Scanner Vibrato is more flexible; you can adjust the rate, depth, and even stereo width. And best of all, you can apply Scanner Vibrato not only to organ sounds, but also to guitar, synthesizer, or whatever sound you like.
