My latest sample pack comes from Germany, an instrument made 64 years ago! Available on pianobook https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/hohner-liliput/

Many thanks to the mighty Synthesaurus for recording the instrument for me!

Wow, what a blast from the past Marco! My dad had one of those and I used to play it as a kid. I'd completely forgotten the fan noise though, and that really does take me right back :).

Glad it took you back to those times, Graham. I really wanted to have the fan available to be used or not, as it certainly contributes to the realism of the virtual version of the instrument :)

Personally, I'd leave the fan out for any musical use, but I do find a strange comforting warmth in that sound. Thanks for the memories :).

The fan can be engaged by pressing and holding down a specific key, and disengaged by releasing the key, so complete flexibility there :) And my pleasure!
