VOCODER II

What can I say... P8 NY Steinway D Classical gets mangled through the Vocoder and then slowly released...

VOCODER

Here's an introduction (like before) where I start by using the effect in it's 'usual' context before experimenting on Modartt's offerings...

Above is the simple ditty I 'threw' together for the fun of it...

and below what it sounds like...

Just a quick revisit to isolate the vocal and adjust its setting... (no singing this time...)

ROTARY CABINET IV

Reverting to the idea of adding a 'Leslie' to an organ here's a subtle experiment. A simple 12-bar ditty I whipped up for the occassion - but which one has the effect applied???

ROTARY CABINET III

I'm sure others have beaten me to it... but here's the Giusti Harpsichord (Werkmeister III) in a spin...

ROTARY CABINET II

Just an idea to apply this effect to the drum track...

ROTARY CABINET - REDO

I played this to a friend and they totally missed that the drum sound was supposed to be a handclap... [sniff]

I've redone it and changed up the organ part too:

ROTARY CABINET

Otherwise known as a Leslie I believe.

I 'composed' (that sounds far too grand... 'threw together') a 16-bar ditty in the style of a hymn to start experimenting with this effect.

The 'hand-claps' (hopefully they sound like that (?) were created using DRUM-80 - here is an image of my settings..

Thanks for the info. I've never played a Hammond Drawbar organ, but I have played a classical pipe organ, a theatre organ and have owned several spinet organs. My current spinet is the Yamaha EL-900. It too has a volume pedal and I use it to control expression. Distortion is an effect that's available on the 'organ' and it can be set to alter the sound of the digital 'drawbars' along with any of the orchestral sounds.

Like I said it wasn't an effect that particularly grabbed me - but it's growing on me...

DISTORTION
This is just a bit of fun... It was improvised and I decided to cut it short for demo purposes.

Distortion isn't an effect that particularly grabs me - it sounds dirty and altogether as though the 'sound engineer' (that's me in this case!) hasn't set the levels correctly!!! But I hear it a lot on 'Hamond' type recordings and guitars and thought - maybe I'm missing something... getting the right amount not to sound bad is my current work in progress or [ad] venture...
