Rosedale Cortina Virtuoso Chord Organ

This is Rosie.
She’s an early 1970s Rosedale Cortina Virtuoso electric chord organ — a toy, really, in the same family as the Bontempi organs that filled living rooms across Britain in that decade. She’s a rather drab off-green colour, and not particularly beautiful to look at. The gentleman I bought her from on Facebook Marketplace told me that his children had played her, and then his grandchildren. She carries that history in her keys.
She also carries a considerable amount of fan noise, which I have mapped to a dedicated key so you can add as much or as little of that mechanical hum as you want. It felt wrong to remove it entirely.
The Instrument
25 chromatic single notes sampled across the full two-octave range (C2–C4), extended up and down via pitch-shifting. Six physical chord buttons — Bb, F, C, A, D and G — sampled and mapped chromatically across the lowest octave. Fan noise loop on G#5. Power on and off switch sounds on G4 and A4.
Controls: Attack, Release, Chorus, Tone, Reverb, Fan.
Usage
Free to use in any project, commercial or otherwise. If Rosie ends up in something you’re proud of, I’d love to hear it.
