NUSofting releases Peti Harmonium for OS X

NUSofting has released their Peti Harmonium / Accordion plug-in for Mac OS X in VST and AU plug-in formats.

Peti uses hybrid FM synthesis technology to emulate the sounds of the Harmonium, a member of the Reed Organ family, also known as "pump organ". The Harmonium in its smaller form is widely used in north Indian music and, as derivation, in pop and rock music too for its full and sweet sound.

Peti is capable of emulating a wide variety of reed organ variations, as well as timbres which resemble instruments from accordions to pipe organs, and even the famous melodicas of reggae dub music.

Peti allows the user control over the emulated Bellows mechanism, with 11 different modes providing 'automatic' or manual pumping and appropriate modulation. It also includes two separate 'reed banks' for the widest possible range of reed organ timbres from its hybrid synthesis system.

Peti also emulates various features of the Harmonium, including the noise of air in the bellows and chambers, a 'musette' tremolo feature, and 'key coupling' allowing a single note to trigger two voices.

Peti costs €36.90/$46.90 and a demo version is available.
