Iliadis has introduced Efthimia Organ, a Windows virtual instrument. The Efthimia (Greek Name) Organ simulates a Hammond Clone Organ.

Description:

The Sound of this Instrument is not the usual Clean Sine Sound. It’s wilder but still warm. 9 Standard Drawbars for the Upper, 9 for the Lower Manual, 6 for the Pedals, a Percussion Osc with his Harmonic Selector, a Key Click Imitation, the Classical Vibrato Scanner and the Studio Reverb made the Efthimia Organ very powerful.

Details below. If you’ve used Efthimia, leave a comment with your thoughts!
