Dan Stesco - Krome Killer Organ Pack Review !
Hello kromeheaveners,
Here is some news for your Krome.
Dan Stesco site has been updated : The Organ pack is now available for purchase !
As expected it is $ 29.
Here is my little review : After the receipt of the package archive , just pause and think a while : hum, two PCG files are present ... In fact, the two files contain exactly the same sounds but Dan had the good idea to put the two programs needed at two different locations in the F user bank ! First remark : Cool , there are only 2 programs! You choose the best location : 0&1 or 126&127 slots.
Installation
As usual with the Krome : Put your PCG file on an SD card and let's go on your synth ! Load the patches in the Krome : Bank of combinations (D), and thus 2 programs required for operation (F).
Sounds
Individual use of programs has no interest. It's just a working basis , which we will be used to " create " combinations .
There are two programs : a normal drawbar and a percuttant sound.
Combinations
The trick lies in the combination and the simultaneous use of two engine programs. Search on the net how to simulate an organ and see how you can play with harmonics & the frequencies to reach an organ sound : this pack simply bring you the implementation of the principle for your synth Krome !
1 combination can contain several times each two sounds transposed (pitch) which has the effect of producing a single organ sound ! Wahou ! Genius !
Obviously, the combinations are endless and you can create yours when you'll master the concept.
About the sounds that came with the engine , they are all very good , and sound like real organs. We appreciate all the more that Dan has optimized the use of organ sounds to allow adding an arrangement : Bass and drums that will follow you during the execution of your song ... It's simple: one pressure on drum track button launches the battery and pressing the " Arp " track button triggers the bass line . Each combination also offers the possibility of many settings : Rotary speaker , vibrato -Chorus Organ Type and Level , Overdrive On / Off...
Nothing prevents you also change the effects added to these combinations...also check the mixer set up.
