An Accordion for EDM & Underscore Music? Yeah right!
Your first thought was probably “An accordion/organ for underscore music and EDM? These guys are nuts…“.
We’re not! Listen to these three tracks in the Soundcloud player to hear the Performachord in action in a wide variety of styles of music, from bouncy children’s/circus music to middle eastern underscore music, to EDM tracks!
The character of the Performachord’s sound is unmistakable, and easily fits the common “accordion based sound” that composers turn to day after day for TV/film work but also works incredibly well for creating lush chords or screaming melodies in EDM / House music too.
Deeply Sampled for an Incredibly Realistic Sound
The “Performachord” (sometimes called a “Chord Organ“) is played with two hands – the left hand plays “push down” buttons offering different voicing’s including: Roots, Major, Minor, & Seventh, while the right hand has a keyboard to play melodies in conjunction with the chords, or simply to be used for solo melody purposes.
With 6 round robins for the left hand and 4 round robins for the right hand, for a total of 706 samples all recorded in true stereo at a massive 24bit / 48kHz, the instrument is the most accurately and deeply sampled performachord on the market today.
This level of sampling and realism in the library means its impossible to differentiate between a recording of the actual instrument vs playing the instrument patch!

Add or Remove Natural Noises and Sounds for Extra Realism
One of the defining characteristics of a performachord is the sound of the buttons being pushed in and released as different chords are played. This has been captured in incredible detail, offering 6 round robins per button (for attack & release) resulting in an instrument with stunning realism and character for the purists out there.
Also included are the natural attack & release sounds for the keys (with 4 round robins) and fan noise of the instrument, complete with on/off switch and the natural wind up/wind down.
All of these natural sounds are fully adjustable from 0 to +12db so you can easily play the performachord “clean” or “natural”. All of that to say…its freaking stunning!
NB. Requires the full version of Kontakt 5.3 or above

"The Performachord has become my 'go to' accordion sound whenever I need it. This VI really breathes and has musical weight and depth; just like a real, badass accordion. You can hear Performachord in action in both my scores and songs on DreamWorks Animation’s, ‘The Adventures of Puss In Boots’ "
