UFO 61

UFO 61 is a vintage five-octave electronic organ from Italian instrument maker Viscount. Built in the 1970s, this simple synthesizer has a smooth, quaint tone with a warm, pleasantly fuzzy texture. Like many early suitcase organs and portable synths that proliferated during the era, it had just a few core instrument voices, a single speaker, simple rhythm box and a basic selection of classic organ controls. The 1970s saw an explosion of dozens of one-off and small label synthesizers coming out of southern and eastern Europe, especially in Italy. These pioneers in electronic musical instruments popularized synthesizers and brought the sound into the mainstream through both popular music and popular television and film soundtracks. These versatile samples are perfect for retro game soundtracks, analog atmospheric pads, or vintage organ sound design. Blast off on a sonic saucer to instantly travel back 50 years in time!
