Description:
Please note: This App comes with an AUv3 plugin extension.
GSi Compact DeLuxe is a component modeling emulation of a Farfisa Compact DeLuxe.
INSTRUMENT BACKGROUND
Among the many transistor organs of the past, also known as "Combo Organs" (mostly because some of them also had a rhythm section and built-in speakers), the Farfisa Compact DeLuxe, along with its big brother the Compact Duo, was one of the most used organs at least in the european beat scene of the early and mid seventies. The electronic circuit of this kind of organ is relatively simple, at least on paper: rather than using a mechanical tone generator like the tonewheel models (Hammond and Pari), the transistor organs used a circuit called "Top Octave Synthesizer", TOS for short, responsible of the generation of 12 waveforms, one for each note of the last octave of the organ keyboard. The basic waveform was usually something halfway between a ramp and a triangular. The lower octaves were produced by means of "divider" circuits that could halve the frequency of each waveform, going so forth for each lower octave down to the pedalboard tones. At each division, something was lost and something was gained in terms of harmonic content. The result was that the same notes of different octaves had oscillators perfectly in sync, so all C notes were in sync, all C#, all D and so on. This same technique was also used in so-called "string machines" or "stringer keyboards" that emulated orchestral sounds (violins, trumpets, etc.) - see GSi's Electrorchestra.
The various registers in combo organs were produced by passing the raw waveforms through a filter bank, so some waveforms were low-pass filtered for bass-like sounds, some were high-pass filtered for violin-like sounds, etc. and some waveforms also went through more than one filter. This also adds some level of phase shifting between waveforms coming from different registers, the reason why the sum between, e.g. a Flute 8' and a Violin 8' isn't exactly the superimposition of the two waveforms, but something slightly different. And this is one of those underrated details that made the sound of some Combo Organs pretty unique.
The sound engine of GSi Compact DeLuxe is also included in the GSi Gemini as well as in the Crumar Mojo 61.
Of course this type of instrument gives its best if run through external effects and amps. Have a look at the GSi catalog and experiment with some of the effects offered by GSi.

This is cool! I was just about to purchase a Combo Organ by another developer (more of a Vox sound) but I may look into this one instead. Or…buy both. Lol
Thanks for always giving us that first look at new apps @White
OK, it seemed gsi had disappeared after the mad run of releases in the first few months after they landed on iOS. I'm very glad to see they're still around!
They’ve been busy in the lab, coding for us pesky iOS users!!! Haha
GSI should start emulating that Prophet 5 he used in the YouTube to demonstrate the Space Echo.
Oh, man. And I was just looking for a Farfisa yesterday for a track.
You can download a demo version for Windows or Mac at the Genuine Soundware website. I think this organ sounds great.
Genuine Soundware is offering a "GSi Combo Organ" bundle: Compact DeLuxe and Red Animal for $20 (USD). Normal price for both is $29.98. https://apps.apple.com/us/app-bundle/gsi-combo-organs/id1676690652
MobileMusicPro will be "taking a look at the two new combo organs from GSi including Red Animal and Compact Deluxe. We're really excited to hear how their Component Modeling Engine re-creates the iconic sound of these classics since both apps are using all real-time synthesis with absoultely no samples allowing each app to come in under 15mb. Hope to see you all there @ 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK." (Sunday, March 26).
