Sampled from an authentic vintage early seventies transistor organ called
the Junost-70 Polyphonic Electronic Instrument, Soviet Organ was samples
through mic'ing in turn both the organ's body speaker and that included
in its accompanying flightcase, with the former producing a slightly
overdriven sound due to the age and condition of the organ, while the
second was heavily damaged and hence produces insanely broken sounds.
- Unique sound sampled from a vintage Soviet Russian organ: borked,
damaged and dangerous!
- Body Speaker for full-range warmth, blendable broken Flight Case
Speakers to add extra gritty nastiness
- Upper registers can be switched between classic octave behaviour
and harmonic intervals of Fifth and Major Third, to introduce a
Vox-style tonality to the sound
- Retrofitted switchable envelope control allows sound sculpture if
- Vintage Tremolo affects both pitch and amplitude for very organic
variation in the sound
- You will never hear a tone like this anywhere else. Period !!
:TRANSISTOR-BASED ORGAN
to anything ex-Soviet rather like magpies are attracted to glitter), this
has turned out to be simply one of the coolest keyboards ever to set foot
in the lab: the Junost-70 Polyphonic Electronic Instrument.
Bringing with it a very strong smell of cigars and hot transformers,
(and Soviet dissidents were running from armed men with dogs).
The rather fetching pearlescent body came in various eyecatching
roller dials which do slightly inscrutable things: some vary the
footages, one adds vibrato, one alters the balance between the sides of
the keyboard, one signals the Kremlin via shortwave to report political
unsoundness, etc.
:TOTALLY UNIQUE
Best of all, though, it comes in a flightcase into which are built four
speakers, turning the case into a crude but effective portable sound
speaker. We dithered about whether to buy the flightcase since it would
have to be shipped from the former Soviet Union, and it weighed a ton
The body speaker is fantastically warm, compressed and slightly
overdriven, but the flightcase speakers are just insane.
Played through the in-body speaker, the Junost sounds recognisably like
Soviet Synthesisers puts it). Played through the flightcase set,
it sounds like Armageddon.
Note, that it requires full version of Native Instruments
Kontakt 4.2.3 or newer to work.
