Re: Show me your organ!
an obscure Italian thing, presumably from the 60s (well so I was told by the guy who sold it to me for 60euros, could be 70s as well), the sound is nothing special but works nicely with effects pedals

It sounds like a cross between a fisarmonica and an organ..

Re: Show me your organ!
Truly! this is the same organ that I ve bought few days ago. The seller has sold me the instrument... thinking it broken!
It sounds no bad but still an italian junk. I ve never seen instruments more pretty than these!
I ve also found ( at the same store) a Gem rodeo 61. :-) I could still buy...maybe
I might!

Re: Show me your organ!
I don't have a real organ.
We have a ProKeys digital piano (couldn't get a real piano into our house, and we needed something for the kid to learn on). It has a sampled Hammond organ sound, but it's not nearly as cheesy-sounding as I'd like.
But I see that cheapo old department-store chord organs that are probably worth $10 are at least as overpriced as Teisco guitars on eBay. (Says the guy who's waiting for a Teisco guitar.... ).

You should be more careful naming your thread, I almost posted something else here on accident before I went back to read the first post.

Re: Show me your organ!
If it has MIDI out, connect it to a computer and run Native Instruments B4, version 2. NI has discontinued it, but of course there are ways of still getting it. In addition to a Hammond B3 model, version 2 has a Vox Continental model and a Farsfisa Compact model programmed-in. The plug-in is is so tweakable that IUve managed to get extremely close to the sound of my Welson. Close enough to just play MIDI parts these days (and if necessary re-amp through a guitar amp to give it a bit more life).scott_va wrote:I don't have a real organ.

Here is the Farfisa that my band has two of. We actually use a Nord Electro live now because its smaller and more reliable.

Re: Show me your organ!
It does have a MIDI out, and last night I found a freeware Vox Continental emulator that's available for both Windows and Mac:Orang Goreng wrote:If it has MIDI out, connect it to a computer

The organ emulator needs a "VST host" program to run, but there seem to be several freeware/shareware versions of those around. "Ugly VSTi" runs fine on my G4 iBook; next step is to hook it up to the piano. (Oh, and to either learn to play, or just hand it over to my wife, who's going to love this.)

Re: Show me your organ!
Hmm, I might need that. B4 is a tad temperamental, to the extent that when I just tried to record some demo clips for you, it simply refuses to work... it behaves like the channel is clipping, so it just shuts off. Odd. I've had problems with it before, but this is fairly new. I guess a re-install is in order.
