Just added the second sample I made from my Philips Philicorda. For register settings, see pic below. Both settings are also sampled with vibrato.
Philicorda (1) is rather smooth and warm, the second is a bit punchier and gets pretty nasty with the vibrato.

The thing was very out of tune and I did some digital fixing. I kept it however rather out of tune, because that's how the philicorda is. If you want, I can send you the sample project file, so you can exclude the out of tune notes, and the program will fill it in with the better tuned notes.

Hope some of you like it. I'm happy to play Philicora again!

I have another sample with vox IV register added. I still have to edit and tune that one. Will post it when ready. (when you really like it, I'll sample some more settings next time I'm at my parental home where the Philicorda lives :))

This is really excellent!

You know you can tune the Philicorda AG7500 quite easily... remove the top lid, you'll find 12 metal cylinders with screws in the top - with the notes written on them. Gently adjust the screws to tune it (be careful though, I've messed up a phili by accidentally turning a screw too far and breaking it...)

I've also posted an instrument of my Philicorda GM751, the 1967 transistor model here:

nord-user-samples-nsmp-samples-f14/phil ... t2079.html.

Hope you enjoy!

Kind regards,

Gerben

Haha, you're not suggesting my philicorda needs tuning, do you?!
