The Principessa Black Friday deal takes 50% off this Soundiron Kontakt library, so it comes to $14.50 until Dec 6, 2026. It is a sampled version of the "Princess", a 2-tiered electric organ that is now very rare.
Welson built that organ in the late 60s or early 70s. The Italian maker is little known, though it built a reputation for its organs and guitars.
The maker describes a rich analogue synthesizer tone with a creamy low and midrange and soft, rolled-off highs. The samples were recorded dry in a studio with a pair of Neumann TLM 103 large-diaphragm microphones.
The original console has two keyboards of 43 keys each, running from E to B. It also has a short run of bass pedal keys, an expression pedal and rocker switches for voice and effect settings. A pair of internal speakers and a built-in rotating speaker for vibrato complete the instrument.
Itai Matos recorded the library. He is a music technologist and sound designer based in Tel-Aviv, and a former product manager at Waves Audio.
Soundiron put a full set of sound-shaping controls on the interface:
The Octave knob gradually blends in a lower and higher octave doubling for more body. Then there is the effects rack, with EQ, filter, phaser, flanger, delay, distortion and amp and speaker simulation, plus a convolution reverb with 119 impulses. Those cover cathedrals, churches, chambers, rooms, halls and special effect spaces.
It needs the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. The free Kontakt Player only runs it in a limited demo mode. The wav samples are unlocked, so you can also load them into other wav-compatible samplers, plugins or DAWs.
System requirements are Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.9 or higher, with a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM. Soundiron recommends a SATA or SSD drive.
