WORLD OF MUSIC ; PORTABLE KEYBOARD - Latest Portable Music Keyboards, Synthesizers and Music News

Podcaster and sound designer Ian Dixon has released another in his series of free sound libraries for the Korg modWave synthesizer, The Organ Collection.

What he has to say about it:

“This is my Organ collection for the Korg Modwave, designed to give you classic organ tones with modern control. Inspired by the Modwave’s four modulation controls, I’ve created a set of organ patches that use these as real-time drawbars to deliver an authentic organ sound. You’ll find recreations of classic organs from artists like Genesis and Pink Floyd, including CX3, DW8000, Korg M1, Polysix, and even Vox Continental organs.

The patches take full advantage of the Modwave’s effects section, modulation controls, and the Kaoss pad, giving you complete control over the sound. Whether you’re looking for vintage organ tones or creative new possibilities, this free sound pack has something for every synth lover.”
