Description: Soundiron BONTASTIC! – A vintage organ instrument captured with perfect clarity and capturing the retro sound of the rare Bontempi B4 electronic tabletop organ. The instrument’s bright orange plastic body echoes the popular aesthetic of the 1970s and early 1980s, during which the organ was manufactured. With Bontastic! We have modified a classic instrument and unleashed the full potential of classical music equipment.
The power of Bontastic! in an easy to use yet powerful 3D user interface. Basic sound shaping parameters are included: volume, note attack time, release time, and sample start offset, allowing users to shape the sound the way they want. Other key controls include vibrato and a special “Octave” knob that really enhances the instrument by doubling and tripling notes played in different octaves. This really reveals the hidden nature of the organ.
The “Glide” option adds a customizable speed of portamento changes in pitch between notes.
The advanced tempo-synced LFO system features customizable LFO shape, modulation target, speed, intensity and onset time. The versatile filter system allows you to choose between 13 types, modulation options and control frequency and resonance. As always, we’ve included our custom arpeggiator, which allows users to control direction, rhythm, shift, randomization and duration. The advanced GUI is wrapped in our modular FX Rack, which allows users to place any of 18 different effects (reverb, distortion, etc.) across 10 slots in whatever chaining order they want. The rack also includes 119 high-quality Soundiron impulse responses that can be loaded into the Reverb effect.
Bontastic! was recorded using a stereo pair of Neumann TLM 103 low-noise microphones to capture the entire acoustic range of the instrument. The sustain notes of each key were recorded with two RRs, as well as four RRs for staccato. Sustain and staccato articulations were recorded for all eight chord buttons (A#, C, F and G chords, both major and minor), as well as various effects. The included octave, vibrato and FX stands give you an easy-to-use interface for complete customization and shaping that classic retro sound.
