Detunized.com has released DTS018 – Hamm and Eggs Live Pack. Hamm and Eggs introduces an advanced emulation of a Hammond B2 organ with retrofitted Trek II TP-2B percussion module.

For maximum flexibility the Live Pack offers two different adaptations: Type A focuses on instant access to more common groups of parameters while Type B has mapped the organs drawbars to distinct macro controls. All registers as well as the percussion module are based on discrete 2-channel sample sets. Channel 1 includes the sound of the organs' line out while channel 2 provides the sound of a Leslie 251 cabinet. All components and all registers can be mixed on demand.

Furthermore this Live Pack contains four organ-like devices. Their samples are the result of several audio processing steps on tape noises, a passing helicopter and a group of trumpeters performing on Carls Bridge in Praha.

Price: 4.98 € (subscription) / 6.78 € (instant buy)
