AudioThing has released an update to its vintage transistor organ instrument that delivers a faithful emulation of the legendary 1960s Philips Philicorda organ.

Version 1.1 of the Philicorda plugin comes with some new features and improvements.

This plugin replicates the transistor-based sound of the later GM751 models, delivering the distinctively warm yet clear tones that made the Philicorda a classic.

Like the original hardware, Philicorda features a vibrato circuit, a spring reverb, and two speakers. AudioThing have also added some extra features: overdrive, envelope generator, leakage, bias, and key click.

Changes in Philicorda v1.1

  • Added: Oscillators Tuning Panel with Drift.
  • Added: Oversampling to Overdrive.
  • Added: Spring Reverb Right Only Option.
  • Added: Original Keyboard Range Option.
  • Improved: Increased Vibrato Depth.
  • Fixed: Click noise the first time the distortion is initialized.

Philicorda for Windows, Mac and Linux (VST/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP) is on sale for $39 USD until June 30th, 2024 (regular $59 USD). The iOS/AUv3 version is $12.99 USD at the App Store during the promotion.
