Elka Panther

'Elka Panther VST/AU Plug-In' is based on physical modeling of the old Elka Panther 300 organ (no samples are used). ELKA Panther was one of the most well-known organs in popular music during the 1960s and 1970s. The rare Lem Echo Music tape delay is modeled to amplify the original organ sound with reverb and echo. In this authentic tape delay modeling, the wow and flutter characteristics are audible. This plug-in comes with a separate Elka Panther 100 model. It gives the plug-sounds in's additional expressiveness and emotional effect. The sound of old instruments contains a certain degree of noise. To achieve this original sound and authentic vibe, that noise has been modeled, and that noise level is adjustable. Several other expanded or additional features are included in this plug-in.
