Show me your organ!

[Cuckoosnest]

an obscure Italian thing, presumably from the 60s (well so I was told by the guy who sold it to me for 60euros, could be 70s as well), the sound is nothing special but works nicely with effects pedals

Incredible!! My singer has just bought one the other day for 15€!!
It sounds like a cross between a fisarmonica and an organ..

lol damn, did I overpay?  .. well I suppose if you're from Italy there are quite a few of these kind of things lying around (?)

Sincerely I've no idea of where he's found it ..he's bought the lyra plus a Gem Rodeo 61 for a total of 30€!!!
He says that in the store there's also an hammond with its leslie for 250€..as soon as I finish my exams I think I'll go in that secret shop

[Cuckoosnest]

Oh my, sounds like something worth a visit to Italy

[Napalm]

Truly! this is the same organ that I ve bought few days ago. The seller has sold me the instrument... thinking it  broken!
It sounds no bad but still an italian junk. I ve never seen  instruments  more pretty than these!
I ve also found ( at the same store) a Gem rodeo 61.    :-) I could still buy...maybe
I might!

I don't have a real organ.

We have a ProKeys digital piano (couldn't get a real piano into our house, and we needed something for the kid to learn on). It has a sampled Hammond organ sound, but it's not nearly as cheesy-sounding as I'd like.

But I see that cheapo old department-store chord organs that are probably worth $10 are at least as overpriced as Teisco guitars on eBay. (Says the guy who's waiting for a Teisco guitar.... ).

You should be more careful naming your thread, I almost posted something else here on accident before I went back to read the first post.

If it has MIDI out, connect it to a computer and run Native Instruments B4, version 2. NI has discontinued it, but of course there are ways of still getting it. In addition to a Hammond B3 model, version 2 has a Vox Continental model and a Farsfisa Compact model programmed-in. The plug-in is is so tweakable that IUve managed to get extremely close to the sound of my Welson. Close enough to just play MIDI parts these days (and if necessary re-amp through a guitar amp to give it a bit more life).

Maybe that was my hidden agenda?

[amplituden]

Here is the Farfisa that my band has two of. We actually use a Nord Electro live now because its smaller and more reliable.

I am the guy with the Jazzmaster (natch)

It does have a MIDI out, and last night I found a freeware Vox Continental emulator that's available for both Windows and Mac:

The organ emulator needs a "VST host" program to run, but there seem to be several freeware/shareware versions of those around. "Ugly VSTi" runs fine on my G4 iBook; next step is to hook it up to the piano. (Oh, and to either learn to play, or just hand it over to my wife, who's going to love this.)

Hmm, I might need that. B4 is a tad temperamental, to the extent that when I just tried to record some demo clips for you, it simply refuses to work... it behaves like the channel is clipping, so it just shuts off. Odd. I've had problems with it before, but this is fairly new. I guess a re-install is in order.

[Orang Goreng]

Wow, it sounds really good!

Now to find a mellotron....
