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!!

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!

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.

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..

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

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 👍🏼

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!👍

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.

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

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

@UniverseofKeys 2 ай бұрын

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 🎹🎹🙏🙏

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

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.

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

Can't believe this drawbar setting didn't turn the tone wheels into strings

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.
