01Overview

Traveler Organ is a multi-sampled reed organ library built on an early 20th century Clough & Warren flat-top instrument. Soundiron recorded the stops and articulations dry in studio using a trio of Neumann microphones, so the sound can be shaped with your own reverb and effects. The library covers soft, airy playing through to deep, forceful passages, and it includes bellows, key clicks and ambient pads alongside the core organ sounds.

Sound, Articulations and Character

The library is built from 1686 samples covering a 61-key range with sustains, staccatos and diminuendos. Each articulation includes round robin variation, and a "Vox Humana" articulation provides a breathier organ tone.

Different stop settings and reed voicings give you a range of timbres, from quiet pianissimo to a full, deep forte. Because the samples were captured dry, the reverb and effects you add will define how the organ sits in a mix.

Workflow, Controls and Effects

The interface includes swell, attack, release, transient offset, vibrato and octave controls, plus bank preset loading. A multi-mode arpeggiator with a step sequencer adds rhythmic patterns to the organ sound.

The built-in effects rack includes EQ, filter, phaser, flanger, delay, distortion and amp and speaker simulation, along with a convolution reverb offering 70 cathedral, church, chamber, room, hall and special effect impulses. The control parameters are automation-ready in your host.

Sample Content and Use in Other Software

The 26 Kontakt .nki preset banks use 24-bit, 48 kHz uncompressed stereo WAV samples totaling 3.78 GB installed. The sample directories are unlocked, so you can import the categorized WAV files into other WAV-compatible samplers, editors or sequencers.

The library also includes 59 sound-designed ambiences, atmospheres and sustaining pads built from the organ recordings, useful for tonal leads and background textures.
