OverView

This volume of the collection includes the legendary

Hammond B3 Organ, Hohner Clavinet, Yamaha CP-70 Piano,Rhodes Electric Piano and Wurlitzer Electric Piano. We located Well-maintained and calibrated instruments, then meticulously sampled then using 16 and 24 bit resolution in order to create these authentic digital renditions. All the kyeboards are unlooped(except the CP-70). Several velocity layeras are provided for each instrument. Every note has been sampled. We attempted to sample the 'signature' sound of the instrument and map it using the original keyboard ranges and original controller layouts. This also helps to conserve polyphony while still providing real-time control over the essential elements such as envelopes,filters, pitch, glide, etc.

All sound banks use the Emulator X PatchCord modulation matrix, This powerful feature allows for quick real-time control over filters, envelopes, oscillator layers, and many other controls.

Recommended Preference Settings

･ Streaming should be On

･ High Interpolation can be Off(since every note is sampled)

･ Use the Emulator X Studio session in PatchMix DSP

MIDI Controllers

The Diagram below shows the MIDI control functoins of most of the presets. Some presets use variations on this basic layout. Be sure to load the Emulator X "Studio" PatchMix DSP session so that the effect controllers(N,O& P) will operate correctly

Hammond B3 Preset Nomenclature

The B3 preset names show the drawbar settings used on the original B3. Each drawbar controls the volume of its associated harmonic or overotne. The 8' drawbar is the Fundamental pitch of the sound.

The number in some of the preset names represent the drawbar positions and thus the mixture of harmonics and overtones in the sound. The numbers may look confusing at first, but once you see them as drawbar positions it makes perfect sense. Here and a few examples:

HPreset Titles & Controller Functions

1st Note Percussion

Presets notated with "Perc" have 2nd or 3rd harmonic percussion applied. B3 keyboard percussion is applied to the first note played after all the keys have been lifted. This first note percussion is replicated in the Emulator X using a separate Channel Ramp layer. Controller G controls the percussion amount and Controller H controls percussion decay time.

Vibrato

The B3 utilizes a mechanical scanner vibrato with three vibrato settings. Presets denoted whith "vib" are sampled with the scanner vibrato turned on.

All Drawbars

In these presets, Controllers A-I assume the role of the nine drawbars. There are slow and fast Leslie versions of the "ALL Drawbars" presets.

Pedals

In combination presets, Controller E and F adjust the keyboard and pedal volume. There is also a separate pedal preset in case you wish to put the pedals on their own MIDI channel

Components

Each drowbar and percussion setting has its own preset to make it easier for you to create your own combinations by combining Multisamples or using Links.

S Image & F Image

These controllers(E & F) allow you to control the stereo width of the fast and slow Leslie voices.

Extraordinary Instruments

Hammond B3

(1955) Electro-Mechanical Organ

doppler vibrate effect, especially when the speed is changing.

The Hammond B3 was popular with churches,home organists and became immensely popular during the 50's and 60's with rock and soul groups.

Original price:$2500

Rhodes Electric Piano

(1965)Electric Piano

instrument even to this day.

Harold Rhodes continued to evolve and improve his piano in association with Fender until 1983 when production was discontinued.

Original price:$1195

Hohner Clavinet

(1971-1985)Electric Clavichord

The Hammond Organ was desinged and built by ex-watchmaker Laurens Hammond in 1935. The Hammond B3 generates sounds using a tone generator confsiting of an AC synchronous motor dribing a set of 91 tone wheels, each of which rotates adjacent to a magnet and coil assembly. The number of bumps on each wheel determines the pitchi produced by a particular tone wheel.

The Hammond uses a unique drawbar system of additive timbre synthesis and stable tuning. A note on the organ consists of the fundamental and a nuber of harmonics, or multiples of that frequency. In the B3, the fundamental and up  to eight harmonics are avalable, controlled the drawbars which are labeled to represent pipe organ pitches,

The 2-speed, Leslie rotating speaker was a large part of the B3's signature sound. Counter-rotating sound deflectors (one for the woofer and one for the tweeter) create a wonderful

A piano teacher, Harold Rhodes initially created a tuning fork piano, the "Xylette", during WWll as a portable instrument to help rehabilitate wounded airmen. He continued to refine and develop his idea prducing the "Pre-Piano," the "Piano Bass" and in 1965 the Rhodes Electric Piano was born.

The innovative Rhodes piano immediately become a standard instrument in the jazz,pop,rock and R&B genres. The sound of the Rhodes is instantly recognizable and it remains a widely used

The Clabinet, designed by Ernst Zacharias to replicate the sound of a Clavichord, was a huge success for Hohner. Artists such as Stevie Wonder, the Commodores, Billy Preston and Foreigner, each made the Clavinet part of their trademark sound.

The Clavinet uses real strings, whitch are struck by rubbertipped hammers against a metal "anvil". A pair of single coil, amplification. The 60-note, keyboard is velocity sensitive-the harder you play, the louder and more vibrant the tone.

The Clavinet employs a combination of tone and pickup select switches, which can be used to vary the tone color.

Instrument Notes

Rhodes

The Rhodes was sampled in 24-bit resolution with three velocity layers to probide superb clarity and expressivity.

The instrument we sampled had the "Dyno-My-Piano"

modification installed. This modification involves moving the pickups closer to the tines and the installation of a special equalizer.

Hammond B3

We recorded the B3 organ using 2 Leslies with 6 microphones, then mixed down to stereo. This provided a muchi smoother, and more realistic sound thana single Leslie speaker.

The Yamaha CP-70 Electric Piano was introduced in the mid 70's and produced until the mid-80's and during that time was the standard touring piano used by just about every major artist and group.

The CP-70 is described as a portable electric grand piano. It is covered in black Tolex and comes apart in two separate pieces that weight well over 100 pounds each. The CP-70 has hammers and strings just like a normal piano, and piezoelectric pick-up system that converts the string vibration into an audio signal.

The CP-70 has a warm, smooth sustain and is not as percussive as a grand piano. The lowest octave bass strings are shorter than normal and this octave doesn't quite sound like a

Ben F. Meissner patented his stringless piano design in 1932 Mr. Meissner sold his design to the Everett Piano Company who further developed his ideas and later resold their improved design to the Wurlitzer Organ Company. The struck metallic reeds. (The reeds are tuned with blobs of solder and a file.)

A magnetic pickup system conberted the tone into eledtric energy and a small amplifier drove the built in speakers on the front of the piano.

TheWurlitzer piano souds very different from Rhodes piano and has enjoyed great success, especially during the 1960s and 1970s.

The Wurlitzer piano can be heard on Ray Charles' classic "What I'd Say" recorded in 1959. Supertramp, Steely Dan and Littele Feat also made extensive use of the classic Wurlitzer sound in their many great recordings. Original price: approx,$995
