Precisionsound PSD-85: Home Organd "For Loaded Grannies" Resurrected

Precisionsound PSD-85

If you like Werther's Originals, Metamucil and going to bed at 7pm, you'll absolutely love the new Precisionsound PSD-85 multisample instrument. PSD-85 recreates the creepy-ass sounds of the Yamaha Electone D-85, an electronic organ that got tonewheel sounds just wrong enough to give you nightmares about visiting Gramms and Gramps.

The Electone D-85 -- which retailed for $10,000 at the time -- was Yamaha's flagship home electronic organ, and it was massive. Styled after the tonewheel organs of the time, it was basically an analog synth built into a huge wooden cabinet. The tones were accessed much like they were on other Tonewheels, via big plastic switches. There was also a selection of rhythm accompaniments built-in, all of which were sampled for Precisionsound PSD-85. The kick, snare, and hi-hat sounds have been kept as distinct tracks for mixing flexibility.

PSD-85 contains:

  • 511 24-bit mono WAV samples of the instruments voices
  • 208 24bit mono WAV grooves in Rx2 files for use in any Rx2 compatible software like Stylus RMX, Reason, Cubase, etc.
  • 52 programs for Logic EXS24
  • 67 programs for HALion 1.1 and all versions above
  • 71 programs for NI Kontakt 1 and all versions above
  • 28 programs for Sound Font (16bit) compatible with all samplers supporting the Sf2 format like the free SFZ, Cakewalk Dimension Pro, Reason NN-XT and more.

Adding the heebie-jeebies to your virtual sampler of choice will cost only a fraction of the original D-85's price. Specifically, 39/10,000ths ($39 USD).

Oh God it's creepy:
