What a jewel

I refurbished a similar Super Continental ~12 years ago. It was the most unstable device I've ever worked on. Seemed every time one function was repaired, something else broke.

Sounds filling rude

A wall of synthesizers! Will you ever escape from the patch cable pit of despair! We’ll send food and Vimto.

love your playing

You’re getting some great sounds out of it already!

Richmond London or Yorkshire ? Anyway, I only really watch these videos to see what moniker you will go by. Slightly disappointed with Kevin Sewhinge(uh) - you really need to up your game.

I remember reading about a Miller valve church organ on a vintage radio repair & restoration website that I'm a member of. I think it had something like 128 valves in it. I wonder if it's the same one? A great channel, as ever. Cheers!

Nice Organ !!

It’s a shiny organ! I wonder what makes it ‘Continental’?

That is in amazing condition! Looking forward to the deep dive into the Vox. Well, used to say "inner gadder da-vidder" - brilliantly renditionized!

Awesome. We just bought a Teischord A. Nice little combo. Short keyboard so no nice low bass notes that get nasty.lol I got it all sorted out and recapped.

Hello Steve, that In A Gadda Da Vida Intro, was really Great !! Doug Ingle would have been very happy with that Continental Vox II 🎹.!!

What is it about in a gadda da vida... instant smirk mode. It's one of those things that's great and stupid at the same time. Like Blak Sabbath. Great rendition though as always.

Luv VOX sound I mean a B3 is a hot sound but that is an awesome keyboard!

Clean as a whistle!

Great stuff, lovely instrument. I spent roughly half the duration expecting you to give us a quick rendition of vintage Tony Hart's Vision On picture gallery music - my earliest vibraphone association. ruclips.net/video/-ZNkJXKV7_w/видео.htmlsi=dY2WH1MKkRpVXWGn

What musical genre is he playing on the keyboard? Ive been looking for type beats like these

Thank you for demonstrating all the potential sound configurations as I wasn't aware of many of them. We have owned this same rare model (serial 8388) since being purchased new for my sister's use in Germany, late 1970s. It still looks new and has fallen into my non-musical hands for disposal. I was planning to offer it to a charity shop but had to make it work properly first. I found, as you would have, that every single one of the 65 rocker, lever and pushbutton switches was assembled with a grease on the electrical contacts that degrades into a non-conductive film, and a small red rubber pad, intended to quieten the switch action, can drop into and jam the mechanism. I spent a week disassembling and cleaning every single switch with good results. But I still have one elusive fault where the Special Presets output VCA is working but not being enabled under any switch setting. It's not easy to troubleshoot having only the schematics from a later model. But now that I better understand the capabilities I'm more interested in finding a more deserving home for it.

Ok so that's what I hear on I Monster "Circus of deaf"

Вы добрый человек. И чертовски талантливый. У Вас любой инструмент играет вкусно. Спасибо за просвещение и всегда свежую информацию😊

Hi! This organ has an audio output in order to plug into a speaker ?

Is this the one featured in The Packabeats’ “Theme From The Traitors” (“01:30)?

Good evening. My name is Othello Reverbeo.

It looks like a fairly easy instrument to make. I am surprised someone isn’t remaking them.

The schematics for this thing are sooo hard to follow regarding the routing for all the tone mixdowns and tabs. It seems Farfisa just left bits out and you have to guess.

Excellent video - great unit. Can you replicate the main guitar sound in Are ‘Friends’ Electric? with the Instant Flanger? It’s all over the Replicas album but I’ve not heard anyone manage to create the same sound. It’s also on the opening track of the same album transforming the distorted guitar sound to something approaching white noise.

fantastic! More, please. Actually, that song would be interesting to dissect the various sounds/sound effects. Somewhere in the song, there's something of a 'roar' that sounds like a bass drum-ish. In fact, quite a few sounds that sound like they may have come off the drums have another quality to them that make them sound not totally drum like. Maybe it was all of the caricature filtering that was used on the vocals? But I think they missed out on not having the M102!

The reeds look like they are finished in gun blue, which isn't very rust resistant and needs to be kept wiped with oil, which would probably work against the sucking action of the rubber pads once the oil picked up some dust. I can see there is rust forming on some of those reeds, and if that rust scale grew to the pad contact area that would kill the sucking action too. It would seem that care of the reeds is important. If they got too rusty you'd have to remove the rust and refinish them somehow. I'd be looking at a light application of an automotive grade urethane, applied by fine spray very lightly so as not to affect the tone with the coating. Experimentation would be in order. Of course you could simply clean the rust by rubbing them with steel wool but that would only be a temporary fix because the rust would return before long.

I have one of these I obtained for the act of fetching it. One of the generators's notes is sick and gives a broken sound, but I have not wanted to repair it until I can determine what is at fault in order to hopefully replicate the sick note intentionally, because it's actually quite amazing sounding!

used to have one of these.. it's probably the most fun little lo-fi device I've ever had. spent countless hours playing around with it. I found it originally at a thrift store or something. been a long time now. can't even completely remember what happened to it but I've been wanting to replace it at some point but most of the prices online are outrageous. Just have to hope it crosses my path again some day I guess.

The orb of dreams...

I like how you demystify the complex look of the behringer oddessy to tweak out some weird cool sounds.

Спасибо😊 На Фарфисе в результате усидчивого, терпеливого, кропотливого и настойчивого сидения за ней можно нарулить вполне годный тембр - исключительно для гитарной "пачки". Далеко не у каждого грибника бывают такие удачи. Сам по себе этот отвратительно мерзкий орган, на мой взгляд, сыграл наиважнейшую роль в революционном становлении и укреплении гитарного саунда в рок-музыке: нормальные музыканты обходили этот запах стороной, боясь отравиться им😅

Your a glutton for punishment.

Дружище! Вы гений без всяких аллюзий. Может Вы и не знаете этого в полной мере, хотя наверняка подозреваете и догадываетесь, и Вам об этом не я первый говорю, и Ваш номер с Poly D не оставляет никаких сомнений. Здоровья и творческих высот!

??????

For those of us born in the late ‘40’s and ‘50’s, who were teenagers when this song was recorded, that music symbolises so much that was going on in music and fashion and even in social attitudes.......

Please make optigan disc bossa nova style

Great vid, I am almost sold on getting one!

More please Steve

Very similar to my Hammond X5. You going to run it through a Leslie?

I am loving this channel.

For when you’ve had enough of Rachmaninov.

cool brother

That look was too wry, good sir

All the fingers.

Chopin ?

Wow, that things amazing

Is this a physical tape loop or digital? Really nice and smooth. Reminds me of a possible sequel to the vocal loop intro to ELP's Tarkus. :-)
