Which Drawbar settings are these?

[b3groover]

For the main melody, I'm using 008600008 (or something similar in tone) and for comping and using a variation of 888000568 (a v-shape... adjust to taste). Hope that helps.

Heya Jim,

What registrations and settings are you using on this?

Also, are you somehow magically getting a Rhodes sound out of the drawbars, or does the XK3 have an EP patch (and if so, what other goodies does it have)?

[b3groover]

Actually, I just found out there are hidden extra voices in the XK3 / XK3c. If you hold down the brake / tone / control buttons when you power on, you can go into the menu system and get a new submenu where you can turn on the extra voices, including EPs, clavinet, and vibes.

However, I'm using a Yamaha Motif ES rack for the electric piano sounds on this video, connected via MIDI to the XK3.

That. Was. Awesome.

[digiwillem]

Oh yeah!

I love those MF Hammond B3 Organs!

[tkey2tone]

WOW!! you guys are tight..had to suscribe, and hit the replay AND the volume

[FlintboyG]

@69B3 Thank you. It's a great memory for me. Jim and I are no longer with the band...but we both have fond memories. Warm Regards, Greg Nagy

[FlintboyG]

@ReinhardDanzinger Yeah, I would have dug one too. Had a tele back in the 90's but like an idiot sold it There is such a cool sound to those. Warm Regards, Greg Nagy

[FlintboyG]

@debdelmastro I am very proud of "Change Our Ways." I sure do hope you enjoyed it. :) Greg Nagy

[FlintboyG]

@martyg374 The first night Jim brought the rig to the gig, I closed my eyes and honestly couldn't tell the difference. Granted I am just a guitarist...lol, but I also co-produced six records that Jim is on. :) I listen... With the right adjustments you can get the XK-3 sounding very organic.

[FlintboyG]

Man these are good memories... to sit back and just play groove oriented stuff with this band was a dream come true. :) Greg Nagy

[tommeide]

This ia great! And the organ sounds just like the real thing!

[gregshell]

well funky you funky groovster

[Mustang5Speed]

Does anybody know the chords of the main organ accompainiment that occur in what sounds like a dotted eight - sixteenth - eigth pattern? I believe they are Bb 7 Bb7 Bb7 Db7, but what inversions are used to get the proper sound. Also, what are the chords for the turn around? Thank you
