Seaside Transistor Organ & Drum Machine

The Seaside Transistor Organ is an enhanced recreation of a relic from the past, when Italy was home for some of the biggest electronic musical instruments manufacturers of the market.
This particular specimen is a Consul-S by Logan Instruments, the same Logan from the legendary string machines that set the sound of an era, and has all of the features (and more) that you’d expect from a console organ from its time:
3 Sets of drawbars, although limited in numbers, mixing different waveforms playable from the 2 registers of the keyboards plus a one octave pedal keyboard on the bottom of the instrument, fully polyphonic due to its octave-divider architecture;
An analog, well sounding drum machine with classic rhythm presets and a pretty interesting auto-accompaniament module;
The envelope is limited to a release drawbar and is acting only on the upper register;
The package includes an analog vibrato circuit, an headphones preamp, internal speakers amplification system and a nice, big spring reverb tank.

I bought this organ for pennies in a bad state because I wanted to learn a bit about electronic instruments after years of messing around and learning fixing other kinds of instruments,
I was so lucky it started singing again!
The organ lacks the character of the competitors like Farfisa, Vox, Hohner, but it sounds pretty nice as well, the biggest downsides are its dimensions and lack of connectivity.

The idea for this sampler instrument comes from the desire to preserve and enhance the sound of an underrated vintage instrument, implementing an added envelope generator, more effects, taking advance of modern MIDI programming.
The Seaside Console Organ is a time capsule, it fully captures the soul of a vintage transistor powered behemoth, a warm sounding memory from the sunny coast of Marche, for everyone to enjoy.
