[hammond_zone] Looke here,looke here, Have you seen this yet????

Now, why didn't I think of that. This new B3 could be really something.
But, as I think about the generator being a digital production of the original B3 sound, I can only imagine that they are using a sampling process. This method would mean that they are just cloning one of the original tonewheel generators (all 96 pitches as they state). Cloning the B3 sound digitally was done in the Super B prior to Hammond/Suzuki and after the original Hammond organ Company was closed. I had heard that the original Hammond company had done most of the development but it was not completed until after the company was sold to the gentleman in Australia. The Super B did not sell for very long. It only sampled a very small portion of the full generator and we all know that each and every tonewheel has it's own personality which creates the unique unduplicatable sound of all tonewheel Hammonds. This fact left the sound close in the center of the freq range but rather thin in the bass and bright and somewhat sterile in the high end. A very close friend of mine purchased a Super B right after it was introduced. Because of the shortcomings and to reproduce the Lenny Dee sound, we have done much modification to it. The modifications we have done include; echo, key click (we could not find any key click in the sampling), additional channels of amplification for backgrounds and personal taste (it has it's own Leslie which matches the styling of the console) and much tailoring of the voicing to develop the original B3 with a 122 Leslie tube warmth. We were able to get the sound so close to the B3/122 that only the most critical ear might know that it was not a B3/122. If I can ever get approved to sign onto the Hammond_Zone site, I could upload some pictures. We also have produced about 360 minutes of recordings and I might get authorization to upload some samples onto the site. I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing this new B3.

good. I have not heard one bad thing about it. Joey DeFrancesco is playing a couple of gigs with the prototype, he also did a demo performance at the N.A.M.M. show( Joe Pesci of all people sang with him). It will probably cost about $30,000 U.S., the real deal looks like a bargain compared to that figure. ----- Original Message -----

That Lenny Dee sound is interesting... I knew him reasonably well about 30 years ago, and that is a long story.

I don't even know if he is still living. I do know that his preferred instrument, before the X-66 mod, was a Model A mod. He was not a B-3 fan and even liked to play an A-100 in preference to the B-3 He rewired the back, and worked in a Solovox to get some of those great wild sounds. Although many did not know it, he also played the hell out of the presets. He was a whole organ guy. More than once I watched him hold down the release key with the little finger of his left hand and play the presets like regular keys, in particular the A# and B, with a strong contrast on the draw bars. He was always very nice to me and I really liked him very much. He could get a hell of a lot out of a Hammond, but he liked his Leslie and you all know that story.. ----- Original Message -----
