Martinic Retro Pack 2 Plug-In Bundle Upgrade for Retro Pack, Download

Achieve authentic vintage vibes "in-the-box" with the Retro Pack 2. This bundle of precisely modeled instruments and effects will allow you to recreate that nostalgic mojo without the need for a time machine.

- Pianet T -
Add some retro charm to your music with the iconic sound of this '70s electro-mechanical piano called the Pianet T.

The reeds in the Pianet T aren't struck, but instead are engaged by NASA-patented pink plastic suction pads that suck on the reeds until they snap loose and begin to vibrate. Small coils, similar to guitar pickups, then convert the vibrations into electrical sound. The intricate sounds produced by these coils comprise numerous sine waves. In the case of the Pianet T model, it occasionally necessitates the computation of over 100 sine waves to craft its distinct sound profile. To ensure optimal performance without overtaxing the CPU, we've integrated an enhanced iteration of the formula pioneered by the seventh-century Indian mathematician Bhaskara I. This fusion of ancient methodologies with cutting-edge twentieth-century NASA techniques is seamlessly integrated into our plugin, resulting in a harmonious marriage of tradition and innovation.

Unplugged
Next to the ACE modeled "Pickups", the Pianet T also features the physically modeled "Unplugged" model. This can be utilized either independently or in conjunction, enhancing the Pianet's natural and distinct sound even further. The inclusion of a room effect on both the "Pickups" and "Unplugged" models contributes to the overall natural ambiance, enhancing the immersive experience.

Harmonic Mix
The Harmonic Mix includes level controls that allow subtle harmonic changes. It also gives you the ability to make larger changes, such as transforming the Pianet T into a vibraphone-like sound.

Effects
In addition to Vibrato, Tremolo, and Chorus effects, the Pianet T boasts a Vintage tube combo amp complete with classic spring reverb and cabinet simulation.

- Elka Panther -
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 gray 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.

History
Available as early as 1966, the Elka Panther was designed to have it all. Tweakable and versatile, families of sound would be activated using plastic switches - the on/off equivalent of pulling out stops on an organ. The switches controlled which family of sounds were activated, and were laid out horizontally in order of their pitch.

- Colorsound Tremolo -
The Martinic Colorsound Tremolo AU/AAX/CLAP/VST plugin, tested and authorized by Macaris, recreates the famous Colorsound Tremolo effect pedal used by Green Day, Joe Bonamassa, and Phil Manzanera among other well known guitar players.

Includes recreations of both the 1974 and 1996 version of the original pedal.

History
In the 70's, brothers Larry and Joe Macari of Sola Sound developed the Colorsound Tremolo, modeled after the tremolo of a VOX AC30 tube amp, using only 4 transistors.

The Martinic Colorsound Tremolo was created using our trademarked ACE modeling technique to bring precise recreations of both the 1974 and 1996 models into modern DAW applications. With the added capabilities of stereo and tempo sync, it's the new "go to" tremolo effect plugin for achieving that sweet vintage vibe on any audio track!

- Kee Bass -
Bring some groovy, bassy vibes back from the '60s and straight into your music with Martinic's faithful emulation of one of the first monophonic string bass simulators, the Rheem Kee Bass.

The Martinic Kee Bass AAX/AU/CLAP/VST plugin is based on the original electronic schema and an actual physical Kee Bass. Firstly Martinic modeled the instrument precisely (no sampling at all), then a few modern features were added to make it more versatile and unique, such as an extended range, a filter, and modulation.

History
The Kee Bass was one of the first monophonic string bass emulators. Note tuning was accomplished through individual trim pots, one per key. This made tuning relatively easy and accurate. They have a limited lifespan, however, if one key 'went', the others would remain stable, making for an easy fix and a reliable product. The Kee Bass, interestingly, used the same power supply that was used for televisions at the time.

- Lem Echo Music -
The Lem Echo Music plugin recreates the nostalgic tones of the vintage Italian tape delay effect from Lem. Martinic's authentic emulation simulates the classic sound of three playheads on one strip of tape, with all the wonderful wow, flutter, and degradation of the original.

We've also added enhanced features not found on the original effect to make this plugin even more customizable when crafting your sound.

The Lem Echo Music is also available as part of the Retro Pack, a collection of Martinic's grooviest instruments and effects with a bundle discount.

History
During the late 60s and throughout the 70s, the pairing of an electric organ with a tape echo unit was common. Organists such as Lenny Dee modified their organs with a tape delay to add another dimension to their sound. Units like the Lem Echo Music provided organists with the option of sending their low-frequency bass tone to an output of its own, and they could wield tighter control of EQ and delay parameters for each component of their sound.

Incredibly accurate emulation of an original physical Lem Echo Music tape delay machine.

- Scanner Vibrato -
The newly updated Scanner Vibrato is a virtual effect plugin that precisely recreates the scanner-vibrato effect from the legendary tonewheel organ we all love. Now improved with our trademarked ACE modeling technique, the Scanner Vibrato is also available as part of the Retro Pack, a collection of Martinic's grooviest instruments and effects with a bundle discount.

History
The original scanner-vibrato was developed in the 1940s, and was an analog, electromechanical device, consisting of an analog delay line and a mechanical rotor ("scanner"). The rotor was driven by the organ's internal motor, and therefore its rate was fixed at about 6.9 Hz. The original scanner-vibrato could produce both chorus and vibrato effects, and it offered three depth presets.

Overview
Martinic Scanner Vibrato is modeled closely on the original scanner-vibrato, so it offers the same features (and flaws), perfectly preserving the character of the original effect. However, Scanner Vibrato is more flexible; you can adjust the rate, depth, and even stereo width. And best of all, you can apply Scanner Vibrato not only to organ sounds, but also to guitar, synthesizer, or whatever sound you like.
