Orrery — Copenhagen

Instruments, restored.

Measured, modeled, returned to service.

The premise

OR · Catalogue
Forty-four instruments
Four archives
Issued as VST3 · AU

Somewhere in the last thirty years, audio left the world of objects and moved into software, and in the crossing, a generation of machines was lost. Not destroyed — worse than destroyed. Forgotten.

Four of those companies are ours to keep now. Each of them was ended by software. We bring each of them back as software — not to erase the irony, but to honor it. Every instrument we issue was modeled from a real, surviving unit, named by serial, so that you are never holding a guess. You are holding the thing itself, made to run again.

The method

We restore. We do not improve. When a codec sounds half-swallowed, when a converter grinds, when a reverb rings a little metallic, we leave it exactly so, because that flaw is a fingerprint, and a fingerprint is the point.
