DashSynthesis release ComboSister VSTi

Dash Synthesis have released ComboSister, a new VSTi for Windows. The characteristics of Rheem Mk VII, Farfisa Compact and Vox Continental were used as reference for the sound design of the Combo Sister along with some new ideas for added creative potential.

Unique to this emulation is the ability to have a mix of the Vox + Farfisa sound! This is achieved by a combination of drawbars, timbre switches and oscillator bank selections.

Much scientific analysis has been carried out to design the several filters which shape the timbre of Combo Sister, even to the extent of a software simulation of original analogue schematics.

• 2 oscillators banks:
  Transistor "enriched sine wave" sound (for "Hammond imitator" electric organs).
  Transistor square wave (for buzzer combo!).
