Most musicians have been looking for a simple way to have great organ sounds at their disposal, without having to carry around a 200 lb monster. Most sound modules eventually failed, and even modeling instruments running on computers are not giving musicians the sound they love. It seems that the electric organ is quite difficult to emulate
Enter Charlie. Created using a sample-playback instrument because all other technologies fail to create the spectacular sound musicians need. Created with the unique goal to provide the sound!
The rotating speaker, the tonewheels, and the grit of an organ sound played through a guitar amp… All those classic elements contribute to the final sound, and they are all faithfully reproduced by Charlie.
Charlie brings you the authentic sounding organs you’ve been waiting for, in a convenient plug-in with total recall of your edits. Charlie is powered by the award-winning UVI-Engine, offering an amazing CPU efficiency. The included 3 GB sample library concentrates on the most famous electric organ of all times, recorded with audiophile gear, in one of the best studios in the world.
The sound categories includes presets with and without rotating speaker cabinet, Vibrato and percussion. Recorded through the regular speaker, guitar amps and D.I. boxes. To round off the extensive sound selection, pedal sounds are also included.
Charlie puts the ballsy sounds of mythical organs at your fingertips, because authentic sounds is the number one request of users.
