Bly ons kon help! Wens ons kon beter gehalte opnames kry, maar al my spore het droog geloop, ek het selfs met Richard gesels en ek kon nie sy ou klank ingeneure opspoor nie :(

Greetings! It's really a generic chord progression, but we used it very commonly back in my early days playing in a Christian Praise and Worship band. Not any particular song but may sound familiar, its a chord progression I use often when just playing casually.

@@DigitalMusicXpress It sounds awesome

Fafisa's in general has had a much different sound compared to Hammonds and such. This one has a closer "Hammond" sound than normal Farfs if you can use a suitable leslie speaker emulator like I have done here, the Lester K is not the best one out there, but can in a mix add a very useful sound. I am not sure about the replacement transistors mods, Germaniums require a different drive / circuit than Silicon and would take a fair amount of knowledge... I think once again adding a decent leslie sim with drive controls will bring this organ to life!

the flute drawbars dial in some perfect Compact & Continental tones, even more with modulation. In this iteration of vintage 1972 Italian organ, the silicon holds up nicely and gives the option of more tones when necessary. I run mine through tube reverb and it’s superb. I play a ‘66 Compact too with onboard reverb - this compares nicely. Great stuff certainly.

@@wraitheful Thanks for your advise. Any way, I still have time to consider what organ for the studio: just bought a 24 tracks reel-tape recorder, I'm considering all possibilities, even going for an old Hammond B/C Bertram version (portable) as they're much cheaper than the regular ones... Actually, the main issue is often the same as for the 24 tracker, the huge Amek console etc : it's not uncommon having to drive for 600-1000km to get it and a truck and might be needed , as my Renault Clio might not be fit for an organ, not speaking about the weight... Well, that's the issue with the real gear and having real sound: modelling is surely practical but it never matches the real things...

You should try and have them digitised to RUclips, they are a lost gem that even the SABC refuses to release or resurrect... I myself lost my copies that I had, the few...

@@johnny.storm-wolf I will definitely do that, as soon as I get the necessary cable and program. I myself asked SABC about it, and they also refused to give it "due to copy right"... what a bunch of liars they are

@@irisolwagen It is so ironic that in the software world, this would be called "abandonware" because its no longer being used to generate revenue and there is no threat of anyone doing damage by releasing it into the public domain, but yeah, copyright is a prickly thing that actually kills off art more than protecting it... Sadly...

Sadly not as much as I would like, honestly I don't have many ideas for video material at the moment. I am considering staring streams in the future but given that I've lost my job recently, I cannot buy any equipment to get going at this stage.

@@DigitalMusicXpress good luck for your job chase. Btw, congrats for the video from Italy.

Should not really be, I tried to cut over between the audio sources so that we'd get a clean signal coming from the desk directly. However it may be a little bit of a spill here and there :)

Sadly as scarce as chickens teeth, trying various avenues to obtain the videos again :)

I only have 2 or 3 episodes on video. I just need to get the right cable and program to digitize it on RUclips...

@@irisolwagen get it for me send or upload

Any luck in obtaining episodes? I’ve been searching but couldn’t find anything in Afrikaans or English

Indeed! I'd say there where a few Afrikaans dubbed versions throughout the years until recently where people took shows with anthropomorphic characters and gave them a new language :)

@@DigitalMusicXpress Do you remember Brakanjan?

@@alexsaffamerica Oh i do, that was a classic of note!

Nice, sadly not a very popular organ here, this is the fist one I laid my eyes on and played! I know during the 70s and 80's some local bands used Farfisa professional organs.

I fear not, I myself have been searching my ass off but nothing. I dont even have the Afrikaans versions anymore since the VHS tapes have disappeard after moving several times.

Indeed, i seem to recall the VIP series of Farfisa is where they got a little, I guess, brave and experimented a little.

@@DigitalMusicXpress Where can I find cosmetic parts for this ? Mine is missing some knobs for the 4 sliders as well as knobs for range and repeat. I don't have the legs for it either. Any help would be appreciated !

@@roccosapareto6409 Honestly, this is a niche enough thing that I'd doubt anyone would be making replacement parts for them now. You're best bet would be if someone has just the old knobs and legs for sale or an unsavable donor organ that has them

@@roccosapareto6409 you'd better print them and label them with a transferable sticker 😅

Dancin' Days by Led Zeppelin used the feature. I forget what model they used but certainly a VIP

They both certainly have their uses! I reckon the small stone nano was perhaps adjusted to cater for guitar sounds and not keyboards with lots of harmonics! The nano when played with guitar sounds pretty good :)

Hello. Yes "Pass Through" is when the signal is bypassing the pedal / effect and going from the input straight to the output. I suppose many people have different ways of terming this function, but I suppose "bypass" would be more correct. The nano feels like it has a longer "pause", but this is just because the phasing is not as "deep" as the original (see the spectrogram) and thus it sounds like it is taking longer to sweep back from the turnaround point, creating that illusion since it takes longer for the effect to be noticed. We can however see on the spectrometer that it does in fact sweep without any pausing. Let me know if you have more questions, I am happy to answer as much as I can.

I really appreciate the information. Very helpful, thank you!

I think i will :D

Soek vir "Hantam Lapland" Deur Klipwerf, ongelukkig lyk dit nie asof RUclips n weergawe het nie :(

@@DigitalMusicXpress Ek soek saam met Wynand die heel oorspronklike liedjie se naam. Ek en my vriend onthou hom albei uit ons kinderjare en glo ons het albei op hom marsjeer via die kadetorkeste, provinsies uitmekaar.
