The quirky yet full sound of this VSTi suits a wide range of indie styles, whether funk, rock or world influenced. The Undercult can comfortably stand in for a Hammond, and is more suitable than the Hammond in some genres. The rotary speaker changes the personality of the organ, and broadens its compatibility. Courtesy of the Soulback feature, it’s very effective for soul, ska and mod styles. The Undercult will suit any kind of music originally played on a Vox Continental, but it offers a lot more versatility – particularly due to its excellent rotary speaker simulator. It gives a fuller, rounder and more balanced tone than the raw (Direct) sound output. The amp model used when the rotary is not active, is based on the tone of my 1960s Vox AC30. But be warned – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better VST rotary than the one built in. The raw (Direct) output is there for those who want to use their own amp modelling and/or effects. In addition to the two amp models, there’s a raw sound output. Enhancing the solo capability further, the output volume is re-scaled to produce a lift on higher notes, and the new ‘volume feel’ algorithm creates the sense of loud playing at any level. There’s also a nifty ‘Soulback’ feature, which sets the drawbar foldback to the classic Hammond B3 cutoff points, for a subtle but vital tweak to the solo sound in the upper registers when the rotary is engaged. This model differs from regular Vox Continental clones in that it simulates two amp types, including a realistic, hard-driven rotary speaker. But the Continental II split the 5 1/3’ and 1 3/5’ footages from the 2’, 2 2/3’ and 1’, giving access to some more subtle tones. Regular Continentals grouped all footages above the 4’ onto one bar. The Vox Continental Super II could produce different sounds from the regular Vox Continentals, due to its five drawbar system on the upper manual. When engaged, the bass will always track and replicate the lowest note in any chord you play below the key split point, adding great substance and depth to a solo performance. The Undercult additionally incorporates bass pedal sounds on the lower virtual manual. Everything runs on the same MIDI channel - you just define your split point on the console and play everything from a single keyboard. The Undercult has two independent, virtual 49-note manuals, splittable at any point across a 61-note keyboard span. It’s the first in a series of FREE public releases from a formerly private and exclusive collection of all-synthesized VSTis with exceptional sound quality and special features.
