How much do I have to spend to get the best organ sound?

[@BillVincent]

I think there is no objective "Hammond B3" sound, and definitely no objective clone. The B3, M3, and the Leslie cabinets of the day all contributed to a loose collection of tunes and sounds which we lump into the "Hammond sound". Honestly, the actual rotating Leslie speaker had more to do with the "B3 sound" than anything, and how it was mic'd and recorded in the studio also played a huge part in its sound, as well as the skills of the player using it and the organ. And yet, even if you lugged a real B3 and Leslie on stage, it's going to sound different every time due to the fact that the organ is being run through a speaker moving and pushing sound through air rapidly in different directions - and every room is different too. All of this to say that there is no holy grail, other than that feeling you get when you are right next to a Leslie and feeling the power as you pull the stops and the rotary is kicking on and off on your whim. Everything else is just a mirror reflection, not the real thing. The attempt to capture that in a purely electronic circuit has kept players going to the latest and greatest attempt like a carrot on a stick for 40 years and counting, but it will never happen. Just find an organ and fx sound that you are happy with for what it is today - because unless you have a crew and a truck, the real thing ain't coming to your gig, and no synth or module will ever compare fully. And last but not least, if you are a good player you can make even mediocre organ patches sound good, as good as it can for being a patch, anyway. It ain't the golf club, it's the swing.

[@MrSoulman74]

Having worked with a keyboard player with a split A100 and Leslie who also had a Nord for smaller gigs I can confirm that nothing sounds anything like the real thing when played side by side, you can feel the stage shaking once the pedal keys on the Hammond come in, you become a bit spoilt after that.

[@lukespencer8341]

By far the best organ help on KZbin. Thanks for the effort and help.

[@tommymandel]

Hello Jack. I believe it's more how one understands the making of an organ sound, than the exact clone one decides on. You, btw, are a fine organist, in my not so humble opinion. I do like you playing blues on organ. That and your general cheeky attitude. Rock on, o tortured genius.

[@tommymandel]

PS. for example the ferrofish's higher drawbars were too loud when pulled all the way out, so one would have to know not to pull them all the way out, if one wanted as beefy a sound. But yeah, a fish and say, a MODX7 would be almost enough maybe!

Arnaud The B4000 can handle 2 manuals (upper and lower) plus MIDI bass pedal at the same time. It has 2 MIDI in. So you can handle 1 manual and the bass or 2 manuals. For all 3 you only need a MIDI merger box connected to the B4000. And you can make the settings for every manual and bass at the B4000. I hope this answers your question.

I was wondering the same. The button layout is very straightforward and clear if you ask me. For the occasional Hammond player a very nice quick n dirty solution I think. If you haven't played your Yamaha Hammond for a while you instantly know how to operate it. The Ferrofish might be a bit too complicated for "every now and then" playing. Jack had some trouble understanding the Ferrofish too...

[@paulmapp8306]

I looked at this (along with a lot of other comparisons) before I bought my "organ" - but ended up with a Viscount Legend Expander released Jan 19. Its a LOT better then the Ferrofish - its better (at B3/C3/A100 - doesnt do the piano stuff) than the Nord. Retails just over £500 - but not available in the UK except by special order (had to get mine from a popular German online store - £505 delivered). I think Jack and Andertons need to investigate this unit - for a module around the £500 mark it knocks everything else out of the water. Same engine as on Viscounts full twin manual organs - and if its good enough for Steve Windwood.......

And the Mojo? Don't think so

[@doordedeur]

This video isn't for me. In the rare occasion I would need an organ sound, my synth provides that. I wouldn't carry a special device for strings, brass or bells, for the comparison. But if your job depends on having the best organ sound, Hammond is out of the job. Get a Nord or a Ferrofish.

[@marvinkmooneyoz]

Ferrofish sure seems obsolete to me

[@beyondmiddleagedman7240]

I payed $1,300 for a Hammond and Leslie to get the sound

[@transpermeance1535]

More important than the tone is the precision with which it delivers the timing intent of the player to the sound engine and the random latencies which are introduced in the sound generation pipeline. Real Hammonds have multiple contact switches per key switching always running tone wheels so very low and consistent latency from key press to sound. Using low latency as a criterium, that rules out any externally connected midi unit using 31.25Kbps single channel connection to a scanned keybed where latency can be a random 1-10msecs key to sound. Here is an example of a true low latency clone wheel organ and what precise low latency can allow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqWVpZuYZbOpbZI

Isn't Hammond the "Ferrari" of Hammond sounds.......?

[@williampinson1125]

Hammond would be the Bugati, or maybe Koeniggseg of Hammond sounds! (along with a Leslie, of course!)

[@Meltedcheese567]

Why dont you use the drawbar on the Electro? I presume you're using a soft synth B3?

An organ sound is a mix of sine-waves in different keys. Even a simple vintage Orla can do that. And they are rising in price. The differences are in the faults that produce the overtones. For me an organ sound is just one sound. You wouldn't buy a sax keyboard or module, or would you? So I'm satisfied with the organ sounds in my rompler.

A Hammond and a Farfisa had a baby, and named it Ferrofish. It kinda sounds like a Hammond, but it’s got that cheesy, shrill high-end Farfisa thing going on that’s less convincing.

Very nice playin Jack!! You should have played Booker T’s ‘Time is Tight’ since you were short on time!! Ha!

[@jackduxbury1632]

Thank you, as ever mate, really appreciate you sticking with my widdling and waffling!! Good shout on the tune, went and had a listen to it, what a sound!! X

[@obwanz1921]

Jack Duxbury thx bud. You should definitely check this out. Incredible B3 and groove! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKTGZahqYp2BpNU

[@glenlewis4430]

have you tried a Crumar Mojo Jack? I am a nord user for many years but recently got a Mojo 61 and it's knockout

[@jackduxbury1632]

Hey Glen, I'm ashamed to say I have not fine Sir. Think I have a mate with one but other than that I've not bumped into an example yet. I'll defo try get a video done on one when I'm out at NAMM in Jan. Thanks for the helpful comment bud X

[@danielkinney6325]

Nord beats everybody else except Hammond.

[@gendaminoru3195]

so what's the answer to this question? Nord?

[@billsolomon1]

Well I disagree with your statement, to get the best organ. There are others just as good or better!

[@sean-fw7zi]

the sk2s leslie is much better than nords

[@margix1172]

You should make more and more video on keyboards ...guitar is boring!!!!

[@jackduxbury1632]

You tell 'em Margix!!! ;) Thanks for checking in Bud X
