[hammond_zone] drawbar settings
|
Carlo Pietroniro
there are many organists whose churches have Hammond organs, and while the Hammond 'sound' is great, it's not exactly what a church organ should sound like, especially if you're trying to play toccatas, fugues, and whatever, which isn't too easy on most Hammond organs, since 99% of them only have 25 pedals. As for the spinet models...........forget it!!!!
I'll post some drawbar settings for church organists soon........ carlo |

"there are many organists whose churches have Hammond organs, and while the Hammond 'sound' is great, it's not exactly what a church organ should sound like,..." > WAIT A SECOND. Who said that is not what a church should sound like??? THe Hammond organ is the only church organ to have. I take it you have never been to a pentecostal church. I think you would know would I mean if you saw it. The Leslie on 10, amd the B3 Blastin' like you would not believe. some of my favorite settings with the right hand are 800000008 I usually start with this and then add this: 808000008 Just kinda brightens it up but it is still under the banner of mellow. This is good with the leslie on fast. THis sound has a good sound that is slighty nasal. very cool 688645457 TO get real bright I go with the 808808008, 848808008, and of course the 888888888 although this tends to rock the house so hard that the chandeliers come down. you can "nasal-up" your sound by pulling out the second drawbar further than the first. the greate the ditance between them the more nasal the sound. all of these I have the vibrato on C-3. THe only time I turn the vibrato off is for padding. I do it sometimes to mix things up. need a change every once and a while. AS FOR THE LEFT HAND I used to always go with 888800000 for a deep bass sound. I have now discovered a more raunchy bass sound that has two uses. First, of course when played at the lower octaves has an extremely "rockin" bass Secondly, When played at the very high octaves it will make your B3 SCREAM like you would NOT BELIEVE. Also it is good for some glissandos. It can't be used for really anything else because it sounds like a dying duck if you try to lead with it. Here it is baby: 088800000 Tell me what you think. THis has been a trick that us pentecostals have used for a long time. Maybe it is only suitable for loud chuch but it works. I have other settings too but I think this is good enough tell me what you think, Brian nice mellow tone to pl I'll post some drawbar settings for church organists soon........ _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: |

You are able to get drawbar 9 to work with percussion engaged? I thought

this was only available with a Trek perc unit or a modification on the "3" model organs and A-100. Your registration is also known as the "Groove Holmes" sound..without the perc engaged. Great sound! Linda Laddie Williams wrote: Try 888000008 With Chorus3 and Percussion on, full, slow decay, and |

You know Linda i thought i had a problem with my a-100 when i could'nt get a
sound out of that last drawbar with the perc on.I am assuming from your comment that this is normal operation.If so,why doesn't the #9 drawbar operate with perc on but turn perc off and "presto" it works. Jeff......inquiring minds want to know ??? |

The perc circuitry needs something to figure out when a key has just been pressed down so it can um, "perc". On the hammond consoles they do this by 'stealing' one of the busbars, so that when you hit any key, that busbar effectively gets grounded (almost, it's still a few ohms above ground). This signal is sent to the percussion trigger input. The perc circuitry in the preamp sees this voltage go low, and provides a short term boost to either the note from the 4th bus (2nd harmonic) or from the 5th bus (3rd harmonic). Because once you press a key and hold it down, you've triggered the percussion, so playing any additional notes will not retrigger the percussion attack until you've gone back to 'all notes up'. To get all the notes to each make a percussion attack, you have to learn an 'anti-legato' technique that makes sure that any key comes all the way up after it's played and before the next key is pressed. When you turn percussion off, the 9th drawbar gets it's note back. On some spinet models and any other non AO-28 preamp organs, the perc trigger might come from another bus, not necessarily the last one. There's a part of the Hammond FAQ that describes how to move this from the 9th to whatever other drawbar you'd like to assign it to.

The percussion needs to key off of something. Hammond chose the 9th drawbar. It can be changed. There is a proceedure here: I performed it on my C3 Mike ----- Original Message -----

The last drawbar doesn't work when percussion is on because Hammond's engineers "borrowed" that buss-bar and contacts to trigger the percussion. On the L-100 it's the eighth drawbar that's used for percussion keying and on the T-series you get a dedicated set of contacts for percussion, all drawbars work even when percussion is selected.

As far as changing this feature away from the 9th drawbar on the B preset , I wouldn't do it if you want to "squabble" (800008888, and 4 "up" on the percussion.) You can do this registration on the A# preset too, but it is not exactly the same thing, Reference recordings for this: many Jimmy Smith tunes, "Satin Doll", "Mac the Knife", etc.etc..etc.. Squabbling is a term used to describe some of the techniques Errol Garner used on the piano and this is the Hammond adaptation of that. That's my best explanation.
