Members Jonny_Q Posted April 13, 2007 Members Share Posted April 13, 2007 On account of me finding a new favourite setting on my M3 - what are some of yours? Right now I'm loving the 888000008 setting with Leslie on fast Typically I just go for a 888000000 - on account of me being a neophyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric Posted April 13, 2007 Members Share Posted April 13, 2007 I think this is kind of an old and tired topic (try a search), but here are a few of mine.

I like to use 808 for verses and 888 for chorus. Along with whatever flavoring you like to add at the top. That second one really drives the song forward.

Members The Real MC Posted April 13, 2007 Members Share Posted April 13, 2007 Tonewheel calibrations vary from one Hammond to the next, so favorite registrations will sound different. Especially between a console and spinet model like the L100s, because the L100s use pre-emphasis to reduce key click and the higher drawbars will be brighter.

Members tucktronix Posted April 13, 2007 Members Share Posted April 13, 2007 For me, it largely depends on the mood, the vibe, the groove, sound, etc... 88800000 or 88800007(my fav registrations) are what I normally use for the typical blues shuffle(or any jazz-fusion stuff), but I might change to 80800007(more of that gospel type sound) when the mood becomes low-key. 88888888 for the full-bore, crazed, maniacal feeling. I may adjust to anywhere in between depending on the mood, or vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members a_rose2025 Posted April 13, 2007 Members Share Posted April 13, 2007 I play with a big soul band. At full force I cut through with my all-balls upper setting: 888088031 (c3) In some situations (not when you're fighting an especially loud band) I like to ease off the fundamental for a creepier sound and go with something like: 688000031 (can work well with v1 or c3) I also have been enjoying playing with the major 3rd drawbar (3rd from right). you gotta be careful what you play when it's out, but it gives you something you can't get from any of the other bars. Use it on some Meters leads. My lower manual is usually set to: 808000000 Occasionally I'll throw in some higher bars on the quiet side, but rarely add any of the second bar on the lower manuals. Yay for organ geekiness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to forgive me, yesterday was a "not so good" day at work, and I didn't even search for the correct term (drawbars instead of registration). You're a good guy in my books.

Members loonymoon Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 hey guys i'm expecting my hammond XK1 to come in any day now. having never touched a drawbar organ before and with a gig coming up this friday, i would appreciate some tips about blues drawbar settings. i really like the organ player for BB King's band (don't know his name). if anyone can offer me some insight into his drawbar settings and/or his name i'd be eternally grateful.

Members rvandenbroeck Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have always found that the second drawbar from teh left gives the rock and roll sound. I like to use 808 for verses and 888 for chorus. Along with whatever flavoring you like to add at the top. That second one really drives the song forward. I just read this a week or two ago (posted here.... maybe in one of the old forums that was linked).... anyway, I've been playing with that 2nd drawbar a lot lately and I REALLY like the way it works. You can get a really good effect by pulling it out when the song hits the chorus. Or, if the song doesn't have a true chorus (like many songs I play), you can pull it out towards the end of the verse/head or whenever the energy of the song is naturally going up to put more drive/force in the song. One thing that I've noticed with that technique is that I want to keep the lowest drawbar pulled out equal to or further than that second drawbar. Something about having a 5th subharmonic pulled out further than a root sub-harmonic makes it sound a little funny to my ears. Two more that I use a lot: 868801234 or 888801223 or anything similar; i started using this when I'd want 888800000 but with a little extra "glory." i really like it for high comping chords during a chorus or guitar solo. I also like using it instead of 888800000 with 2nd percussion sometimes - those extra few drawbars on top seem to cut the mix in a way similar to the 2nd percussion. 006838046 or anything with very little of the sub-harmonics, a lot of the root/octave drawbars, and little bit of the higher 5th drawbars. I like using settings like this when I'm jamming in the middle of the keyboard and don't want my sound to get too muddy or interfere with the bass player. Good for comping a long guitar solo.... my $0.02...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members weboutreach Posted July 28, 2008 Members Share Posted July 28, 2008 I love hammond organs, have done for years. Until recently I only had the appauling synthesized sounds on keyboards to go by, but my lovely wife kindly gave me a Roland VR-760 for my birthday in April For those who haven't heard (which is probably most people!) it's a combined stage piano/synthesizer and organ, complete with 9 drawbars, leslie simulator, percussion, chorus/vibrato etc. I love it! I play at church and have recently played in some Jazz concerts as well, and I would happily ditch my Roland RD-150 stage piano and move into hammond territory permenantly. It really is an excellent simulation, and I've played the real thing too... Anyway, registrations... I was just wondering if anyone else had experience of this keyboard, and how the sound differs from a geniune B3 for example. I tend to use it in two distinct situations, during our Sunday services at church. In faster songs, and slower songs (not much inbetween though!). Faster stuff I tend to go for a variant of 8884644440 (ish), with percussion on, slow, 2nd or 3rd. Leslie fast or slow as required. As for slower songs, some variant of 408800005 which gives a thin, beautiful sound, much less leslie, but still on slow of course. If required I can add a few high harmonics. Have fun everybody!

Members thebinge Posted July 30, 2008 Members Share Posted July 30, 2008 I just was reading some Hammond organ books from the 1950s that I found in my church's A-100 bench and find it funny that it says in these books to use the left 2 drawbars "sparingly" as these are sub-harmonics to the fundamental. Yet, pretty much every "modern" Hammond organist uses these drawbars exclusively in their registrations. Were these recommendations made so the upper manuals didn't conflict as much with the pedals (which have only 2 drawbars)? I guess Hammonds weren't used in blues/jazz/rock groups yet back in the 50s so they were still thinking pipe organ substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
