I just finished 4 semesters of Music Theory & SSET. While searching for piano skills, I've discovered the organ (much like Columbus but without all the rape, pillage & plunder). Your explanation on drawbars & the rotary is excellent. Now instead of just randomly pursuing the presets of other artists, I'm exploring my own sounds with a bit more purpose. Thanks!

Thanks for posting this, good sir!! Now drawknobs have gone from being mandarin Chinese to Spanish for me thanks to your vid! Coming from playing a regular pipe organ, the terminology of the 16', 8' etc made a bit more sense!

[@KeyboardSkillsPro]

You’re welcome - glad it help. Drawbars were simply volume variable pipe tones - Laurence Hammond loves the pipe organ hence the Hammonds design etc but hated the Leslie speaker! Tom

Victoria Bruce is the only thing

[@allenfuller1700]

I enjoyed the video. I've only played a few organs with drawbars. However, I grew up playing Yamaha's (like the D-85) with "click stops." I use these like mini-drawbars. With the flutes, reeds, and strings, there is great deal of variety available.

[@KeyboardSkillsPro]

The D85 was a very good organ - my grandparents had one for a short time. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@organfairy]

A more mathematical or scientific explanation is that the 8' is the natural or fundamental frequency of the keys. 4' is the double frequency, 2 2/3 is (almost) 3 times, 2' is 4 times, 1 3/5' is 5 times, 1 1/3' is 6 times, and 1' is 8 times. 16' is ½ the fundamental frequency, and 5 1/3 is 1½. Hammond tried to make a drawbar in between 6 and 8 times - but it didn't really sound right because there is no musical interval that fits a 1 to 7 ratio like 1 to 3 or 1 to 5 which is 2 octaves + terts and 3 octaves + quint respectively.

[@KeyboardSkillsPro]

Interesting

[@mariaulfah7902]

confusing

[@dairebarefoot6763]

The 7th harmonic is just naturally very flat when compared to the actual 7th on an equal temperament keyboard that’s why it isn’t used and doesn’t sound good if it’s overly present in a mix or tone.

[@3bhui]

Righteous. Multiplying a frequency by 7 is equivalent to shifting up two octaves plus something that doesn't closely match any semitones within the equally-tempered scale (12 semitones per scale) of Western music. 7 = 2*2*1.75 = octave + octave + 1.75 Multiplying the root note of a scale by 1.75 gives a note that is somewhere between 9 and 10 semitones above the root. For the scale of C, that would be somewhere between A (frequency of C times 1.68) and Bb (frequency of C times 1.78) but not close to either one.

[@3bhui]

in contrast, consider multiplying the frequency by a factor or 3 or 5. 3 = 2*1.5 = octave + 1.5 = octave + quint Multiplying the root by 1.5 corresponds to a note 7 semitones above the root. For the key of C, the frequency is very close to G (the frequency of C times 1.498). 5 = 2*2*1.25 = octave + octave + 1.25 = octave + octave + tert Multiplying the root by 5 corresponds to a note 4 semitones above the root. For the key of C, the frequency is very close to E (the frequency of C times 1.260).. Multiplying a note by 3 or 5 produces a frequency that is acceptable to what is accustomed to be heard for the equally-tempered scale, whereas multiplying by 7 produces a misfit frequency that is perceived as being dissonant relative to any of the 12 semitones.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Keyboard Skills Pro The H & X Series of Hammond Organs have 2 more Drawbars (Mixture Drawbars) the 10th is 1 1/7 & 8/9 together, & the 11th is 4/5 & 2/3 together. These additional Drawbars add some extra shimmer (along w/ those Pedal Switches on the Right) that I used for a very interesting cover of Octopus's Garden by the Beatles, & I also wrote a parody of that song about the Hazards of Improper Popcorn Storage.

[@KeyboardSkillsPro]

Excellent - some Wersi organs in the 70s/80s also had the 2/3 (above 1’) drawbar to add that brightness.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@KeyboardSkillsPro They should make more of these Digital Organs w/ these additional Drawbars so that we can add some extra shimmer.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@KeyboardSkillsPro Because that extra brightness adds alot, more Digital Organs need these stops (and switches) as well as a 32 note pedal board for increased versatility.

[@KeyboardSkillsPro]

Thanks Keith - don’t know what chords they were - will have a watch and see if we can work them out!

[@KimKeyboardKimFokken]

I am learning drawbars but on the Ferrofish B4000+ with the same exact drawbars and I was noticing the fast speed of your leslie. It is much faster than I have mine set. So what is the take on how fast should the leslie spin. So I could take some of your settings and when you play I could set my fast setting to sound like yours. Instead of on an actual hammond there are at least two sets of 9 drawbars where on the ferrofish there is 1 set to be shared with upper and lower and if there is a midi bass pedal board, there are drawbar settings for that. When I have two keyboards hooked up My Korg M1 is on the lower register and the Roland midi only keyboard is on register upper. What I do is first set my lower to my desire then set upper to something different. Now if I go back to lower, my drawbar settings suddenly change to the upper. So I will sometimes leave one alone and do drawbar settings only on the other keyboard. It is certainly a learning experience.

[@KeyboardSkillsPro]

Haven’t tried the Ferrofish but it looks a fun unit. Good look with exploring drawbars :)

[@robfriedrich2822]

I noticed, that the "Vibrato" in Yamaha sounds like the "Vibrato" settings in the Hammond. When you want Chorus instead, do the same drawbar setting twice, one with and one without "Vibrato".
