@GutpileCharlie You are very welcome. Thank you for listening to my music. Best wishes - Peter :)

Nice playing :) My XH-200, which has the same sounds and sound engine often sounds crap, but I suspect it's me :P

[HaywardMusic]

@SilverHammond Don't worry about it... I've created a few fairly 'crap' sounds on this one too :))

[patsaxon]

Amazing that you got this Hammond to sound like a theater organ!

[HaywardMusic]

@patsaxon Thanks very much, Pat. It took a bit of 'mixing & matching' between the drawbars and the onboard organ voices, but I got somewhere near to the sounds I wanted. Thanks for listening, and best wishes from Sweden - Peter :)

Very nice playing ... is this a new Hammond that is made by Suzuki? Good theater organ sound. Looking forward to hear more one day!

[HaywardMusic]

@WB9DKY Thanks very much for listening, and for your kind comment which I really appreciate. Yes, this is one of the Hammond/Suziki models. Good in parts... terrible in others. Strong drawbar and organ sounds, but (mostly) weak orchestral sounds that need a lot of 'tweaking' to sound OK.

Unbalanced rhythm section : eg. a really soft 4/4 swing (that can hardly be heard) with drum breaks that seem to explode (fff) like a machine gun. (Keeps the audience awake !!)

Best wishes - Peter :)
