Frederick Somerville Wav Page
I have made a couple of wav´s so that you can
hear how my organ L - 100 P sounds.
The organ you hear is heavily modified run trough
a Yamaha guitar amp and into a Leslie 145. (Yes the bass rotor slow speed
is out of operation since the motor is to be repaired sometime within the
next 200 years or so). I haven´t overdriven the amp in the L - 100
on this recording but it is a sweet sounding distorsion if used.
The chorus you hear is a Boss RCE-10 with the
output taken from the B output. Taking the sound from the A output does
not sound as good as using the B. I have no clue as to why. This excellent
chorus unit (Half rack) emulates the sound of a scanner quite closely.
It has a treble pot and if you turn it way up it resembles the treble increase
of the scanner. It also incorporates and adjusteble predelay.
Modifications made
-
The frequency responce of the hole organ has been
changed.
-
The TG is recallibrated.
-
The vibrato tubes have been given new tasks
to perform. They have been freed since i use an external chorus.
-
The volumepedal has been redesigned. It now
has a vider swell effect and the difference between min - max has been
increased. One of the Vibrato tubes is used here.
-
The percussion has been shortened and is amplified
in the second left over Vibrato tube. I also have a transformer inserted
to boost gain.
-
The input transformer is rewound to B3 Standard and
the drawbar system has been modified to suit this change.
-
Several changes have been made to the main
amp.
-
An Octavider has been inserted to the 8 ´ drawbar
in the lower manual. It is then routed to through a relay to the 16 ´
bass drawbar.
How my organ sounds
The recordings was made with one mike on the top
rotor and a pzm mike on the floor. Bear this in mind when you listen. Better
recordings will be provided in the future (100 years or so). Since my PC
is a steamdriven 386 they where made with 16 bits at 16000 samp/s. I then
mixed them togeter into a mono channel and resampled at 11500. They where
saved in 8 bits to keep the size down.
