VST Alarm are offering 50% off Elka Panther by Martinic for a limited time, now only $59.00, (usually $118.00). The offer ends May 29th.
The Elka Panther 300, also known as the Capri, is a classic Italian combo organ of the 60s.
The instrument produces bold, rich organ sounds and has a wide range of tonal variations (13). The Panthers 16′, 8′, 4′ Stops and Mixture voice levels are adjustable. Each note spans over three octaves, there is bass extension into grey keys and separate volume control for bass octave(s).
Tone Decay adds percussive effect to Mixture voices. The Panther has powerful vibrato with speed and intensity control.
The Elka Panther is also available as part of the Retro Pack, a collection of Martinic’s grooviest instruments and effects with a bundle discount. If you would like instructions for this plugin, you can browse through the manual page.
The Elka Panther plugin comes with our LEM Echo Music delay unit built in, and by buying the Elka Panther plugin, you also get a license for our separate dedicated LEM Echo Music plugin.
The LEM Echo Music is a classic tape delay from the 60s and was one of the first pieces of studio equipment created by the Electro Music Library, a subdivision of the GEM instrument brand. There are three fixed delay time options: short, medium and long; and you’ll get plenty of character in the sound as the plugin faithfully emulates the imperfect nature of a tape delay unit. Control the amount of echoes and the intensity of the effect with the Echo and Repeat knobs.
Physical modeling (no samples used) of vintage Elka Panther 300 (1966-1972) and the rare LEM Tape Echo delay effect.
