Introducing the Chipophone – 8bit organ
Linus Akesson’s Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, designed for live chiptune playing.
It has been built inside an old electronic organ. All the original tone-generating parts have been disconnected, and the keys, pedals, knobs and switches rerouted to a microcontroller which transforms them into MIDI signals. Those are then parsed by a second microcontroller, which acts as a synthesizer.
Details at the Linusakkeson site.

Granite and Iliadis – two new flashy VSTs
Sonic Arts has released Granite, a new granular synthesizer instrument for Windows.
Description:
Granite is a granular synthesizer particularly suited for generating evolving, organic textures and atmospheres. It is also capable at creating dark bass tones and loop processing.
Granite’s sound is highly dependent on the input material, but the grain engine parameters have been refined and scaled to allow complete transformation of material in a fast and musical way.
Most parameters can be modulated with internal movement recorders, in addition to being controllable by host automation and MIDI CCs.
Granite is available now for Windows PC (Standalone/VST) for US $60. A demo version is available.

Organ Emulation Keyboard
Joey Defrancesco has put his name on a new keyboard by Studiologic: the Numa Organ. (Studiologic is one of the brand names of the keyboard manufacturer Fatar).
All of the controls that the Hammond player would want are there, in the right places, including reverse-color preset keys, which provide a way to make quick changes during performance. This is significant, because until now, only organs with the Hammond name, specifically the XK-3, XK-3c and New B3 include the preset keys. In addition to the functionality they provide, they look really cool.
Now for a rundown of the features of the Numa Organ:
- Pitch and mod wheels – Provide extra functionality to use the Numa as a keyboard controller. The mod wheel doubles as a rotating speaker slow/fast switch, and because of the way it is oriented, switching from slow to fast requires a motion similar to using a traditional half-moon Leslie switch.
- Vibrato control – A rotary knob, just like on a vintage B-3, with switches to turn the vibrato effect on/off for the upper and lower manual.
- Drawbars – A set of nine drawbars are provided plus switches that specify which manual is affected by the current drawbar settings: upper, lower or bass pedals.
- Split and Transpose – The keyboard can be split so that the lower manual or bass pedal sounds are triggered from the left part of the keyboard and the upper manual sounds from the right. Transposition can be done in half steps.
- Percussion – four buttons control the percussion effect, like on a vintage Hammond: on/off, soft/normal, slow/fast, and 2nd/3rd harmonic.
- Effects – Rotary controls provide for adjustment of reverb, drive, key click and tonewheel leakage.
- Equalizer – bass and treble controls.
- Keyboard touch control – allows switching between organ mode and dynamic mode
At just 22 lbs., The Numa Organ is one of the most lightweight organ emulation keyboards on the market. What is missing – which I hope they include on a future model – is a second set of drawbars and a set of pedal drawbars.
Really cool retro VST organ for free
Missing those orginal organ sounds, well here’s the cure

Autodafe have released B8 Organ, a VSTi emulation of an Organ. Here’s what they have to say about it…
B8 is basically a reproduction of the old organs of the 60’s-70’s.It has 9 oscillators, switchable between sine and saw wave, with drawbars, vibrato, chorus and reverb.Sine waves results in tones typical of a church organ, or hammond-type sounds. Saw waves sound more like old combo organs, like Farfisas, Davoli, Crumar, for example.
