Hollow Sun has released Oscillosine and Organa, two Sonic Laboratory Instruments for Kontakt.
Almost as though it was found in the back of a damp garage after decades of neglect, Hollow Sun has created Oscillosine. Reminiscent of an oddball inventor’s strange homebrew creation, Oscillosine is designed to conjour the sights, sounds and smells of a 1940s experimenter’s laboratory… glowing valves, otherworldly audio and maybe a hint of pipe tobacco.
The samples for Oscillosine are taken from a vintage tube Hewlett Packard sine wave test oscillator estimated to date back to the 50s or 60s, maybe earlier.
Oscillosine features
- 44.1kHz/24-bit.
- Valve generated waveforms.

Organa is based on samples from an electric reed organ from the late 50’s.
The samples for Organa are taken from a very early Hohner ‘Organa 30’ from the 50s or early 60s belonging to Hollow Sun Deutsche freund, Matthias Shuster.Little is known about this other than it was an electric reed organ with a fan that blew air through reeds that were opened and closed with the keys. In many ways, it’s an electric harmonium where a motor rather than manually pumped pedals pushes the air around.

- From a very rare, early Hohner Organa 30.
- Unique user interface featuring…
- Drawbar mixing of reeds
