Arturia Farfisa V Virtual Organ Plug-In

Arturia 1090-42 Overview

The Farfisa V from Arturia is a virtual instrument that physically models the unique characteristics of the Farfisa Compact Deluxe and Duo combo organs that helped define the Top 40 sounds of the '60s. An array of included effect pedals provide the tools to customize the sounds, while a variety of presets from top sound designers assure authenticity. This virtual instrument can operate in standalone mode or as a plug-in within your DAW on the AAX Native, AU, VST2, VST3, and NKS platforms.

From '60s Go-Go to '80s New Wave

• The Farfisa hit the pop stage several years before synthesizers. Portable and polyphonic, its reedy voice was heard everywhere. Thanks to Farfisa V, it never really went away.
• Arturia's TAE analog modeling technology recreates every nuance of the Farfisa Compact DeLuxe. Click a few tabs and grab the sunny sound of Sam the Sham's surf-rock classic Wooly Bully. Click a few more and you're in the '80s with Blondie, the B-52s, and Talking Heads.
• All the Farfisa's tone generators and controls, plus modeled FX, make for a production-ready retro organ sound all inside the plug-in. Work only with the controls of the original, or open up the Advanced panel and a galaxy of new sonic possibilities including additive synthesis. (Yes, you read that right.)
• The Farfisa's wide tonal range rose above stereotypes and impressed music fans across styles. With Farfisa V, so will your productions.
