  • This is a really cool setting I learned from the great jazz organist and educator Tony Monaco. I highly recommend checking him out or taking a lesson from him!! An amazing musician who I deeply respect :) Try this one out it's a really cool sound!!

    So funny, I stumbled on this sound just a day before your post. I have built in reverb on my B3. I went to just drawbar 4 with percussion on and I was like wow that’s kinda like an electric piano and started playing your “expensive” sus2 piano lick from a few posts prior.

    Pipe organs are able to simulate many instruments, especially wind instruments; stringed instruments were more difficult but also attempted.
    Theatre organs added percussion, and much more, including brand new pipe sounds, vibrato, and more
    Long before the invention of the Hammond / tonewheel organ.

    Look up Novachord which essentially is a polyphonic synthesizer by Hammond from late 30’s. It’s right down the alley of this post

    It was literally yesterday I was stuck with my Hammond XK-5 wishing there was a way to get a pinao sound!!
    This is so useful!!
    Thank you!

    I was trying this setting yesterday on B3-X (software emulation) but without the drawbars.. pretty nice sound.. i added a tube screamer for more volume & some girth, and then a spring reverb.. can't wait to try with the drawbar too..

    Thanks very much Mike !
    This is what I was lookin’ for, for some songs where they use this.
    I tried different settings for some songs.
    Now I only hope that my L-100 comes close, Because it has a different percussion as a B3. 😊
    Thanks anyway 👍🏼

    Even with the decay on full length in my Mojo editor, my Mojo61 can't decay percussion long enough to get this effect :(

  • @Bent6
    @Bent6 3 месяца назад +1

    I’ve never done this with slow percussion, but with percussion on fast it gives somewhat of a marimba quality, even without drawbars. There’s a background part in the verses of Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes where it does this.

    Back before synths I was always so frustrated trying to use those sexy gentle setting and fight for volume against the drums and guitars.

    Hey, I finally tried it. I have to say it is a weird feeling. For a second you feel like your playing a piano and the the next you don't. Cool trick! I gonna definitely use it a bit. Keep the videos coming!👍

  • @tomlewis4748
    @tomlewis4748 3 месяца назад +1

    So a drawbar means sustain and no drawbar means much less sustain?

    • @UniverseofKeys

      You can definitely look at it that way :)

    Does Diana Ross' "My Old Piano" feature this trick? There's a prominent piano/percussion sound that I could never figure out.

    • @UniverseofKeys
      @UniverseofKeys  3 месяца назад +2

      What a great track!! Haven’t heard that one before. It sounds similar. Maybe just toe percussion w no drawbars pulled out. That’s what I hear anyway…… thanks for introducing me to this. Very cool 🎹🎹🙏🙏

      Hammond made many drawbar settings. They all had different names. Tuba, Flute, Piano, Trombone. Yes they all sound like variations of an organ. No it is not literal ;) but I will get my ears checked 😂

      Any reasonable musician understands that this is an approximation, similar to pipe organ settings.

    Nice sound, but it does not "actually sound like a piano", still is clearly an organ.

      It was easy to deduce that he was approximating something; we know there is no hidden piano-sample button.

    Still produces sine waves which a piano doesn‘t. And it‘s paraphonic whereas a piano is fully polyphonic.

      Well duh. Pointless comment since the title of the video tells you it will show you how to make a Hammond sound like a piano, not that a Hammond is a piano.
