LEFT HAND BASS
Celebrating my purchase of a Traveler TB-4P bass. I've used their Mark I for years, but it never had that P-bass growl - this one does.
Just a short rendition of "Taking a Chance on Love", performed on a Nord Electro 4D, a Traveler TB-4P, through a Yamaha EMX66M/S115, and recorded with a Zoom Q2N.

EHX LesterK and RefaceYC
Просмотров 24 тыс.8 лет назад
A quick demonstration of how the ElectroHarmoniX Lester K rotary simulator can expand the spound of the Yamaha reface YC organ. First just the reface without effects (except the onboard reverb). Then the built in rotary simulation. Finally the EHX Lester K, which is used for the remainder of the vid.
Roller Coaster A Tribute to Lenny Dee
Просмотров 3419 лет назад
I was experimenting with the effects panel of my Nord C1 and found a delay feature that reminded me of the tape delay Lenny Dee used extensively in his live shows. I grabbed my old turntable, dusted off a record and found the track "Roller Coaster". I tried to transcribe this note for note, but at best it's an approximation. Also, technology being what it is, I used the key of "Db". I have sinc...

How did you hook up 2 midi keyboards to play th upper and lower sections inyo 1 sound?
Those aren't MIDI - they are part of the Yamaha Reface series (REimagined InterFACE)that pays homage to some of their earlier keyboards. Each one has it's own sound generation onboard so no MIDI needed. Basically a mini organ and mini synth in their own cases.
Even it's 7 years old... I got me a YC yesterday and after this vid i have to have a Lester K too. Great demonstration! Thank you
Yc is a monster byby Hammond amyzing I own one ❤❤❤❤
Nice playing!!
Great paying and great demo. You are truly a Hammond wrangler. I'll have a YC soon, and had been wondering if the Lester (which I own) would take things up a notch; to make it gig-worthy in certain circumstances, rather than just a home noodler. Wow! And your bass sound on the CS is perfection.
Oh that little beauty screams! Great video .
Cool playing and sound!
Man, that is awesome, I remember doing something similar with a basic Yamaha four string electric bass while on my Hammond organ at my grandfather's old Baptist Church in Los Angeles about 20 plus years ago. FANTASTIC job Jake 👏🏼💪🏼
I gotta check this channel more often. 5 months? Wow... Sorry for the belated reply, but many thanks for the kind words.
@@jakekulik2198 it's okay, I understand when you are a popular in demand guy you don't have time for us little people😆🤣 just joking
Hey jake, I was sondering what the foot controller on the yc is controlling.
The Yamaha FC7 is controlling the volume/expression on the YC, the other pedal is the Lester K
Wholesome and skilled demo ! The refaces sound great but you’re also playin the hell outta them Also that drone at the end is killer and unexpected !!
Thank you. The ramp down isn’t adjustable and I wanted to see how long it takes. I could have finished my laundry and gone to the bank while waiting. ;)
Jimmy Smith!
I wish...... but thanks for the compliment.
Great - that's really awesome. Could you give me a recommendation how I could learn to play such phrases, please?
Your best bet is to use your ears....... try to find players you like and copy what they do. Once you have a few licks down change some notes around, phrase a bit differently, and vary the tempo. Soon you'll be able to judge what works for you and you will develop your own style. It takes time and dedication, but if you want it bad enough you'll get there.
@@Shaky_Jake Thanks Jake! I'll try that. I always search something like a sheet music book for this which shows me some basic licks. Thanks again and stay safe. Thomas
Those tiny keys would drive me crazy.
Out of all the mini key synths and keyboards that have recently appeared these are actually the most playable. Decent action, good feel, and now that my arthritis is flaring up I can reach a 10th pain free.
Sounds freakin' GREAT!
Synth Singer Thanks. I still pack these units for every gig in case my main rig goes down. So small, yet so sonically powerful. Jake
I love the little demo at 2:18, really smooth!
Thank you.This keyboard still inspires me after almost 5 years of ownership. Lots of fun. Jake
Great video. That pedal does beat the YC internal SIM. I also find the YC drive a bit sharp and not warm enough. That pedal might have to go on my shopping list. Does it run on battery also?
Sorry, no, it's strictly a wall wart pedal. The adapter is 9.6VDC, but it will run on a flat 9.0. That pedal does so much for the YC....I just wish Yamaha could have gotten the chorus vibrato somewhere close to a musical sound.
@@jakekulik2198 maybe there a scanner vibrato/chorus pedal out there somewhere?
@@adamandlorraine I did try my Boss Chorus pedal and couldn't get it to dial in to my satisfaction. Besides, if I keep adding out board equipment to this signal chain I won't be able to find the reface at all!
@@jakekulik2198 true. I was hoping to find an all battery solution so I can keep the reface YC fully mobile. I have a battery work site radio that works for campfire jams.👍
@@adamandlorraine Since it is 9VDC, try adapting a battery. Get a battery connector, wire it up with an insert plug and see how long it lasts. Jake
Great tones. Just wondering: How do you have those Reface keyboards mounted? Trying to come up with a setup that works for me. Thanks.
Just Velcro’ed to a board that spans the legs on my keyboard stand. Simple and cheap always wins.
@@jakekulik2198 Got it, and makes perfect sense. Thanks and again, great demonstration.
That's really brave: Taking a chance on everthing going wrong!
Just realised at 4:48 that the orchestra for Star Trek TOS used a Hammond pretty extensively. Nice playing👍
Hammonds do get around in a lot of musical formats. Not bad for an 85 year old invention! Thanks for the compliment.
Jake my cell phone crashed send me a text of your #'s and Joe Davi's I lost everything on the crash. Have some play dates. 9/16/2019
Already done. Thanks.
wow wow wow! absolute musician having fun!
Thank you very much. I love the yc, and the Lester adds so much to its sound. A B-3 and 122 disguised as a 4 pound powerhouse.
I am LOVING this. You're great. And the set up you have is really awesome.
Thank you. Since this was recorded I traded in the KW152 for a pair of QSC K12.2's.....they sound amazing. And now I do stereo live as well as in the studio.
Wow. Thank you. In this case the equipment inspires me to play more accurately, and I still can’t get over how much music you can coax out of this rig. My thanks to EH for bringing this effect in at this price point.
Simply awesome demonstration! You're playing makes the LesterK worth "$178,000.00" Bravo!
Great playing and nice sound
Thank you. I'm probably going to have to buy another YC in the future because I think I might wear this one out! this little keyboard kills. With the Lester it completes the picture of the ultimate portable Hammond. Jake
Jake- are you the Jake who played keys and bass with Rick Richards Orch back in “the day?”
Yes, I am the guy who covered keys for Rick from 1981 until his retirement. Had a lot of good times in that band. Thanks for remembering.
Jake Kulik awesome. My parents were fred and patty fischer..the glad rags. They tag teamed a few shows with you, particularly at this family company picnic place Forest Lodge. I was just a bratty kid at the time, and eventually played drums with them too... but keyboards won out eventually and that’s what I ended up doing in this realm. I had just recently unearthed my tattered copy of Do I Do, and posted about it on Facebook. A quite lengthy tale of being blown away by “this guy who sang, and played it on bass and Rhodes when I was a kid” - it may have been my first purchase of sheet music and most certainly my first attempt at playing something in B willingly. I notoriously play this one in every band I’m in and have even arranged it for a Latin jazz group I’m in etc. and I always cite YOU as being the root of that inspiration. Very glad I tracked you down. I accidentally got in touch with Al, the guy you replaced, lol... he remembered your first name, and RUclips search bar did the rest lol. Very happy to see you still doing your thing !!
@@SUNFLAREbandlatinjazz It amazes me that anyone even recalls me in that band much less a song I barely remember singing. I loved that song from the moment I heard it, and along with "Sir Duke" were my two favorite Stevie tunes. I would have to woodshed the hell out of it just to remember the changes now - don't get much call for it nowadays. I do remember your parents teaming up with us. Rick had a knack of handling talent and could find work for almost anyone. I'm not sure why but I apparently have two channels on You Tube, this one being the lesser used. If it wasn't for the phone notification I wouldn't have seen this reply for another week or so. I'm glad I was a positive influence for you (although dragging around keys and amps is easier now than way back then - to think I used to drag my B out for clubs). It sounds like live music still thrives where you are. I do maybe 2-3 dates a month with an oldies band thats tons of fun, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I'm sure with your positive attitude and passion that you probably have already influenced someone like I did for you. Keep on Playing! Jake
Excellent demo! Thank You!
Thank you I still can't get over how well this combination sounds. Yamaha's best Hammond emulation and the Lester K simulation really nail it I still try to play these every day
Great playing.
Thank you. It's a fun little instrument.
Did u add SIDE CAPS. to the yc?.. Did u make them purchase them?
Those side caps on the ends of the reface are actually the quick release mounts that Yamaha sells to enable a guitar strap without drilling into the chassis. They originally sold for something like 100.00 USD but I found someone online that was blowing them out for 30.00. Between the battery power and my Line 6 G10 wireless system I can do jazz jams without tripping over wires. Jake
@@jakekulik2198 thanks for the reply...under what would i look it up as far as description...awesome video btw...looking at getting that pedal for my yc
I found “Yamaha Reface Attachment Caps” at Sweetwater Music for $49.95. They work on all the reface models. When you see the illustration you’ll notice that they come as a 4 piece set....that’s how they clamp together. You’ll need your own strap.
@@jakekulik2198 just saw them...thanks so much!
D Candela no problem. Enjoy!
The reface line is Yamaha's portable line that honors it's heritage. The YC 10 was their first portable organ (which explains the red) and it's been updated with different capabilities. I think it's their best sounding Hammond clone ever. Jake
is reface YC really a synthesizer or is it rather a normal keyboard with different sound effects, like you get them for fifty bucks at any Chinese supermarket?
It is NOT a $50 POS. Its 5 great organs, sliders, leslie, deep reverb...technically a synth buts plays & sounds like an organ.
Man, that sounds pretty awesome!
Thanks. I find it odd that Yamaha hasn't used this technology in their mainstream keyboards; ie, when I think Hammond or clone, Yamaha isn't my first choice. The Lester just makes it shine. Jake
I couldn't agree more Jake! I have a new Genos. They couldn't put $178 worth of tech (that's at retail no less!) in one of their flagship keyboards? Or all of them? Have you ever tried any of the Vent products? If so, how do they compare to the Lester?
VERY NICE BABY HAMOND
Thank you. My grandson has taken a real liking to this keyboard, so there might be another one in my future.
Kick-ass demo. I feel like the YC's onboard rotary sim is probably "pretty good enough" for a lot of players, including myself, but I do like the range of control I have with, for instance, my BOSS RT-20. Thanks.
Timflan, thanks for the kind words. The refaces are totally fun, and with the Lester K (or any other rotary sim) it's more than playable. Someone just discovered that there's an acoustic grand sample in the CP model. Even Yamaha said it's not in there, but if you boot it up with the selector knob between any 2 instruments it's there. I hope they do a firmware update and make it a selection. Between these two and my CS I could do a streetcorner gig and sound like my full rig! Jake
Best little clone ever with external Leslie sim!!
Leonardo - I still play this every day. I totally agree with your statement! Jake .
Imagine a brand spanking new Hammond B-3 and Leslie 122 fresh off the assembly line back in the late 1950s-early 1960s. No flaws, no bad tubes/transistors, no dying transformers, its keys and pedals all nice and stiff from not being constantly played/abused. This would remind me of that sound.
I remember when mine was delivered to my house....this October she'll be 50. Still plays like the day I got her. A couple of tubes, a busbar rotation, and oiling is all she's ever needed.
Where'd you get the white slider caps for the YC? It definitely needs them. I want to get them too
Corey, Since I am a Hammond player I wanted the drawbar tabs to resemble the real deal (the bottom two are brown to represent the 16' and 5 1/3' bars), so I went to Home Depot and bought 2 cans of Krylon spray paint to match, pulled the caps off, painted 2 light coats, and let them dry overnight.....haven't used the paint for anything else! Good eyes, that's a tough angle to see them.
Great idea. Yeah that kind of irked me that the non-octave sliders were the same color as the octave ones. I'm not a hammond player, but it was always obvious to me that the color difference on the hammond sliders was very useful for eyeballing which sliders are which. When I get my reface I think I might do this. thanks!
You DA MAN with this simple distinctive mod. Krylon for plastic? Without priming? It's holding up well enough?
Timflan - no problems with damage or crazing....I did do 5 light coats and used a hairdryer set on warm to speed up the process, then let it dry overnight. I slam them like crazy and hasn't even chipped. Jake
Next project: paint all the white keys black and the black keys white... no, red. :-)
great player even with little keys
wow....thank you. I do nerf a lot of keys, but I manage to get most of them right. Playing this makes me more precise on a standard keyboard, so besides trying for accuracy it's just plain fun.
fat fingers+mini keys=disaster. Fortunately, I get more right than wrong. It's great fun to practice on, and when I use full size keys I have a bit more accuracy. Love my YC.
Dude... you sounded great no matter what size keys. All these size-queens hating on mini-keys forget that their weak arguments all fall apart when you see/hear artists like Aphex Twin, Legowelt, Dorian Concept (to name only the most visible on youtube... except for RDJ who made his love of the Yamaha reface DX known via Soundcloud) eating the mini-keys up for fucking lunch. And you never hear them bitching about size. Some of the most legendary kit is limited - it's all about how artists go about choosing to exploit those limitations to their advantage. I say let the haters hate - these Yamaha refaces are unreal for what they are. The cult is small right now... but just wait and see.
Sold....Just ordered one....Thanks
I'm sure you will enjoy it. It actually breathes like the real thing. I think I'll use a USB fan just to simulate moving air when I kick it into fast speed..........
I was about to buy and then came across the wonderful Hughes & Kettner 'Tube Rotosphere'...Oh My God!! What a pedal. You can even see the valve/tube glowing away warmly. It is so authentic sounding that I just had to get it. And at a very good price too. To say that it's 17 years old it is awesome. Now my 'Ferrofish B4000+ really does sound amazing. Good vibes to all to Hammond Organ and Leslie Speaker Lovers. Sent From Heaven.
The Rotosphere is one of the better simulators. Currently the Ventilator is very popular, but I chose the Lester mainly for bang for the buck. No sim can totally replicate mechanically moving air. Heaven can thank Don Leslie for creating the real deal.
God rest his soul. What a wonderful invention. It always makes me tingle from head to toe. Happy Hammonding.
So, I'm thinking "I wonder how a YC sounds through a Lester K... Maybe someone has posted a RUclips video". In reverse order, the answers are "yes" and "pretty amazing!". Thanks for sharing!
I'm still gassed by the power and sound of this combo. the Lester K provides the rotary sim that gives it the edge.
Thank you, sir! great video, btw!!!!!!
It's a bit sloppy, but lots of fun when a new piece of equipment inspires me. Plus, now I can show up at a jazz jam with a 4 lb. Hammond!
if running mono, wouldn't the Lester g be better for the keyboard (because of the speed control ramping up and down) or is it a price thing, compression issue, or something?

I didn't think I needed the G because compressed organ kills your dynamics. The swell pedal is a living breathing thing on a real B, so it should also have the same range of expression with a clone. The rise and fall times aren't adjustable, but they're pretty realistic and not a dealbreaker for me.
great points, jake! didn't even think about it really. ... I have a spacestation v3 and am thinking about getting a lester k or g and reface yc....wondering how it would sound out of the spacestation. .....
Both the YC and the Lester K have the ability to run stereo. My guess is that through a SpaceStation 3 they would be a knockout.
I can attest my YC and CP through the SpaceStation sound awesome. I add my Peavey 15" KB 100 for Moog stuff. Don't need anything else.
Darin, I don't run any of my keyboards in stereo. For live applications it's a given. The YC sounds horrible through the headphones out(stereo), but the Lester works quite nicely in mono. Also, my B-3 and Leslie 122's haven't been stereo for 49 years......😀 Thanks for asking. Jake
Thanks for posting the video. I initially didn't like the YC Leslie sim very much when I played it myself - especially on fast speeds with higher drawbars pulled out - but have noticed like you it sounds much much better in mono. (This is isn't necessarily true for other Leslie sims.) I think the difference between the internal sim and the Lester is quite subtle, but I also know that when you play an instrument yourself, the experience can be different.
jake. ..are you running stereo in and out of the Lester? (I only see onecord in and one cord out)
Thanks for the demo, just ordered a Lester K.
You do have that tape delay echo effect very very close to Lenny Dee's ! Wish there was a real printed copy of " Roller Coaster" that one could purchase ! Is there ? Lenny Dee's white Hammond A was the BEST !!! Mark in Galena, Il
Mark Rockwell I've never seen a chart for Roller Coaster. I tried to transcribe it as best as I could from an old 33LP. The problem is the speed was a hair fast and I play it a half step higher than the original. It's still a great song by a great player.
So right he was the best!
