These files are still in beta/development. This means that important elements of the hammond sound is not included, while other aspects of the sound may need some polishing, such as loop points and fx settings.

 

The organ used for sampling was a nice `63 A100. Please note that this is the same organ technically as the B3, except that it adds speakers and amplifiers, in addition to reverb.

The aim of the sample files is to recreate this organ in its present state. No preprocessing was done to the samples, so noise and hum along with other "deficiencies" of the tonewheel organs are included. Also, the organ was sampled after the internal pre-amp, not through a Leslie speaker. This means that the organ sound will typically not sound very nice dry. on the other hand, these samples can be played back directly through a Leslie with very good results. Or the Leslie can be simulated using the excelent onboard triton leslie simulator, as is done on the accompanying programs and combies.

 

About the use of the patches. Please note that the Hammond sounds best if you are continually tweaking the drawbars to get the desired sound. Therefore, the individual drawbars are separated on individual programs in the combies. Therefore, the mixerpage will be a good place to stay at when performing. Typically, one prog is used for Leslie noise and one for keyclick. This leaves only 6 channels for drawbars, therefore, some are left out in each combi (or combined into static programs). Note that if you dont use a given drawbar, you might want to switch off the channel in order to conserve polyphony.

The current setup is intended for using only combis for playing. It is possible to alter the programs for using parts of the samples, although this would seriously restrict the possibilities.

 

Controllers (not all patches follow this convention):

SW2: distortion

Joystick Y+ toggle + press D1 on keyboard: Leslie slow (chorale)

Joystick Y+ toggle + press C1 on keyboard: Leslie fast (tremolo)

Ass. knob 4 reverb level

Ass. knob 3 dry/chorus/vibrato mix

Joystick Y- toggle Leslie break/start

 

 

Limitations of this setup:

You have to do two things to speedup/dn Leslie (joystick + note)

 

Future additions:

If possible, the Leslie simulation will be controlled by the arpeggiator or anything else that will be more ergonomic. Also, stereo samples of Leslie noise is on its way.
