Ghost in the Lowrey

A 1960 model Lowrey organ, raised from the dead by sampling technology! This LSC Holiday Lowrey organ has suffered a lot of wear and tear in its sixty year lifespan. Most of the keys make no sound at all, and there is a strange, spectral grumbling from deep within its dusty valves and meticulously-clamped wiring. But we got to sample enough of the old beast to make an enjoyable instrument, complete with three characteristic vibratos, pedal swells and old-school resonance. As a tribute to its state of decay, the Ghost of the Lowrey also includes the electric hum of the speaker, the heavy clunk of the switch, and the plaintive swirling of confused circuitry. They just don't make 'em like this anymore!
