The Plug-in Archeology project by Matthijs Hollemans/audiodev.blog.

This is an extremely interesting project that has the aim to restore older plugins while learning how other developers code and solve problems.

Ever wondered how the inside of a 1960s Farfisa electronic organ looks like?
Wonder no more:

Those cable snakes are mesmerizing. They are tied up with cotton wire! Also, these are a mess to fix without a service manual, but the circuitboards are very accessible. I still don't know the model name of this, but I got it from a storage box guy that kinda auctioned it, like in those cheesy reality tv shows.
This used to be in a church in Venice, then the priest moved it to a storage box and sometimes down the line he stopped paying rent, and this was put up for sale.
The sound of this has nothing to do with cool Hammond organs, but it is cool in its right, has a crazy unique arpeggiator/sequencer with drum sounds, decay control, filters and a bunch of preset rythms, plus a tempo knob that goes to ludicrous speed.
