Magnus is a vintage 37-key analog chord organ from the 1960s, originally manufactured by the Magnus Harmonica Corporation. This free-standing, three-octave chord organ offers six major and six minor chord buttons. We've captured its old-school fat, buttery tone with infinite sustains and tight staccatos. Beyond the ordinary analog chord organ sample library, Magnus includes 20 sound-designed custom chord organ and effects presets and 40 unique ambiences playable as atmospheric synths, dronescapes, and pads or used directly in your DAW for underscoring and texture.
Key Features:
- Sound-Shaping Controls: Volume, Attack, Release, Transient Offset, Vibrato, Octave layering, and Glide control for legato and portamento leads.
- Adaptable LFO System: Selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing, and fade-in time.
- Filter Options: 13 low-pass, high-pass, and FX filters with assignable modulation control options including velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position, and step-sequencer table control.
- Customizable Arpeggiator: Built-in velocity sequencer table, control over arp direction, note timing, swing, randomization, and duration.
- Effects Rack: Convolution reverb with 119 unique spaces and a full multi-effects rack including EQ, filter, phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp & speaker simulation, and more.
Magnus was recorded through its direct line outputs, capturing stock presets with sustains and staccato samples for each key. The interface allows complete customization and shaping of its fat analog sound, fitting a variety of creative styles.
