hammond solo on yamaha motif xs

[stratusplayer1]

Run your keyboard thru a Boss RT-20..I think you'll like the Leslie sound better than anything you can buy built in. I think the sound if good, Hammond has so many variations..its hard to knock the sound unless you know what stops youre trying to compare it to.

[jazzrix]

I really don't like this hammond sound...I don't know why an expansive key like this has got a cheap hammond simulation...

[motzky46]

Rotzig, wie beim John Lord

[ianwlad]

very nice

[ducekeys]

the nord electro 2 is my current choice

[patmm97]

Thanks. Organ sounds kind of Sugarloaf / Green Eyed Lady ish. Not too bad a tone for a keyboard that isn't a dedicated Hammond clone. Hauling around as few keyboards as possible is major priority for most part time gigging musicians. I can see using the XS or XF for sequencing new ideas at home and then letting the band take over non organ parts for live performances.

[Horrorshow655321]

The Motif has other great organs as well, you can customize rotary settings, drive horn, etc. I can get a really thick leslie sound with a few tweaks. People should not be so dismissive about the Motif because it KICKS FUCKING ASS.

[bjornhelge97]

There did you get thath sample? :)

[davidtheguitarman]

nice man, you have soul

[BrendaLParson]

yo u goin in doc keep it up

[wildman279]

Why is everyone so fixed on sounding exactly like a real Hammond? Sure it's the classic sound and close replication is neat, but this still sounds really good.

[AakwardAardvark]

excellent

[jmill1948]

sweet.....real sweet im a b3 player and I can say thats sweet

[organeu]

pas mal.. mais ce n'est qu'une "nappe" il n'y a pas la matière en dessous, le son saturé de Leslie est leger, les roues-phoniques ne sonnent pas, mais ça reste au dessus de la moyenne.

[graal7]

hey man ,it's very good....

[LogiForce86]

I feel like you're missing a volume pedal (FC-7), and I think you're trying to achieve the same thing with the modulation wheel. Correct?

Nice sound though. Got a Tyros 2 myself.

As far as a Hammond replacement, I think Yamaha takes you as close as you can get. =/

For a real Hammond sound you still would need a genuine Hammond organ unfortunately.

[Francesco2cece]

Ok guys, not a fuckin' real hammond but great sound however.

[datmpham]

Take your Korg M3 to bed with your mama you stupid asswipe... who gives a damn about you? go fuck yourself .. scum sucking dirt bag..

[oysterlovers]

Ooohh - Isn't it possible to like both? I have a Korg and a Roland and a Kurzweil module as well and like the difference between them

[gyongyosigabor]

You play well, but the sound is very far from today's best hammond simulations. If you want to get closer to the authentic organ sound, just choose the B4 II ! I guess that these days are the last time for the hardware synths... The cheepest synth plugins are much better than the sounds of the most expensive keyboards today...

For the price you spent for this Motif, you can buy a very serious Macbook, sound card and a couple of fine synth softwares plus a good controller keyboard..

[oysterlovers]

Thanks - actually a helpful comment . I'm looking for a Hammond substitute keyboard for a lot less money to play live, does anyone have any ideas ?

[Marlibica]

Definitely the Calvia Nord Electro! I don't think it gets much better than that, exept for the real thing ofcourse

[zzzxtreme]

im waiting for SM Pro V-Rack

MSRP $1300

[tvseal0001]

Nothing comes even close to the Clavia Nord Series as a Hammond simulator...I recommend the Nord Electro 3 (for the money) or the Stage series. The Motif doesn't even touch it lol

[alex9050]

AGREE

[GospelProgressions]

I have the Roland VK-8M sound module and it sounds great. Also check out the Voce Sound module. All you will need for these is MIDI controller.

[mima14031985]

@oysterlovers Try the Clavia Nord Electro 3. I have it, it's hammond simulation really kicks ass! Every aspect of the original hammond's sound (cable leakage, tonewheel interference, key click, etc...) it's emulated. And it emulate also Farfisa Compact Deluxe and Vox Continental transistor organs. I payed it about 1800 euros 1 year ago

[tvseal0001]

@mima14031985 You can get the Nord Electro 2 ...organ is pretty much the same with few exceptions...and it will probably cost about 8-900 less

[mima14031985]

@tvseal0001 Well, there are audible differences from the NE2 vs NE3 organ simulations (this later being the better) but obviously the NE2 hammond organ emulation is better than any yamaha/korg/roland workstation. And yes, as now Clavia sells the NE3, a lot of NE2 can be found 2nd hand for very good prices

[tvseal0001]

@tvseal0001 yeah I mean personally...for the difference in price versus difference in reproduction quality...I'd definitely go for the NE2 for now...especially for those that are cost conscious. if not ...then yeah obviously go for the NE3. The addition of onboard reverb and amp modelling as well as attention to leakage and the desirable "imperfections" of the original hammond B3 / A100 are definitely a welcomed addition in the NE3. On a side note, I much prefer the layout of the NE2 though.

[GreekGeek12345]

@oysterlovers The Nord Electro has some great. Or consider the new Roland keyboard with drawbars.

[musicmaniac960]

@oysterlovers hammond XK3c

[tvseal0001]

@oysterlovers Nord Electro 2 - you can probably get one for around $1000 or less right now on ebay or craigslist. Ive been using mine for 4 years live and recording and I primarily play Organ

[0URS]

@oysterlovers Try the Nord (E2/3 or C1/C2)

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

@oysterlovers type in used Hammonds online theres a site that lists by state. I found mine in Parma Ohio. They have some pretty good ones and cheap to

[bdmcnitt]

@gyongyosigabor Really like the idea of going the controller/software route versus buying a workstation keyboard but am a) finding it difficult to find a great standalone 88-note controller with a nice piano action and b) the software library video examples (e.g. Native Instruments) don't sound nearly as full/rich/convincing as sound demos from hardware manufacturers. Maybe Yamaha and Kurzweil will release their libraries as software? Until then, am still (unfortunately) looking at workstations.

[pissinismartin]

tiene razon pero nada reemplazara en placer de tocar un veradero sinte, ademas en vivo es mas practico por ahora.

you are rigth but nothing will replace the pleasure of playing with a real synth, on stage is better, by now

[thdutbv]

wonderfall, i just love playing your vids at the background and improvise with you (also own XS)

[GraficOctane]

hey man..amazing stuff...wats ur secret to such good fingering?

[HammondB200]

is this a beat from acoustic mixcraft?

[oysterlovers]

it's a free sample from future music magazine

[11ethan111]

dude you're skilled

[redoctoberff]

this rocks. great patches too, the palm smears sound awesome

[ochocinco852307]

nice

[CurtisWindover]

this is unreal. so good. good job

[milnzi81]

tasty

[lsmokephillies]

i feel as if this guy is more book smart in music theory, ronald is someone who is naturaly gifted with music, he plays the way HE plays, i feel like it would be hard being a musician who studied for years to be able to play on that imrpov level.

but yessir you need to collab with ronald, hes also giving exposer to other keyyboardists that are just as good as him, hes great for keyboardists exposer now.

this guy is amazing ass well

[schamp6]

You and Ronald Jenkees need to make some music together. Awesome work man.

[93nicd]

Wow...is that beat/accompaniment on the motif as well?

[oysterlovers]

no - I did it separately

[erwinnnnnn]

amazing.

[ikkejick]

respect :)

[lehrhund]

Fantastic work man, loving it! :D

[blackmore2008]

GOOOD!!! you're awsomeee! you play so perfect!! but the hammond -live- is incomparable, its obvius when its recorded we cant hear all they small harmonics... but thats another history..

[Baretta73]

Excelent job, man!

But I really would like to see you using the XS' sliders like hammond drawbars in this video.

Maybe in the next...

Congrats.

[ClerikZ34]

You have always had some of the best hammond solos on youtube.

I see nothings changed :)

[granto009]

tite...awesome style

[subvet73]

[megalorganiste]

Excellent, Great !

[jorudb]

[oysterlovers]

i used a variety of the organ sounds that are on the motif - i like the crunchy sound and the progressy one - also all bars perc

[KnowlesProducer]

amazing!

[musicsophrenia]

i got that same board but i make beatz with mines

[Otxoa72]

Wow, it sounds amazing. You are very good. What chord progression are you using?
