FREE ORGAN SAMPLES: LESSER-HEARD HAMMOND,
YAMAHA ELECTONE WITH CHAINED ROLAND,
PLUS TABLE HARP.
Apart from the harp, I have actually recorded the other instruments before and can attest to their versatility. But I've only been able to record some of what these great machines can do for my video. Though even this should give hours of pleasure.
The organs I own were 'only' the less expensive transistorised models with fewer features. Though I found that to record the tones clean before adding effects as plug-ins can actually produce clearer, purer and richer results than if you were to use the likes of the B4 software. Or mike up a Leslie'd organ with anything other than truly high-grade microphones in a controlled environment.
But even just when taking a line from the attenuated headphone socket into my recording equiment, even after the Youtube encoder, the sounds are surprisingly rich and full. They're still recognisably of an organ.
(NB: And if the sound of the opening music grabs you better, why not take a tiny sound cut from that instead?!)
