  • Is there anywhere that I might find the drawbar registration settings for this song?  I sold my B3 back in the 70's ( bad back and I couldn't haul it any more). Now I have a Nord Electro 2...not the same, but pretty good sound form what I use it for.

  • @Keyboardman88 As per how Gregg played it, check out the Evil Ways Woodstock vid on youtube to see close-ups of his registrations. They are: upper A# 888800088, B 880000000 (start of solo, then gradually pull more starting with first white drawbar); lower A# 004000000; Chorus C1 on for both manuals; Percussion all 4 up (On, Soft, Fast, 3rd Harmonic)

  • cool technique...however, you should get somebody to replace the felt strips under the keys because they are very noisy and are very audible on the track, that is a disaster on recordings. It's cheap and easy to do if you know how to disassemble the keyboards.

  • I know I need that done, those felts are rock hard! At least the black key felts are still good though. Just have to find the time to do it

  • Hey man, kick-awesome sweeps up and down the keys. Do those officially have a name?

  • The sweep is called a Glissando, a few other common organ techniques are palm smears/hand percussions

  • A sweet tribute to Gregg Rolie, the God of mind-bending space-rock keyboard java.

  • My favorite part: 1:25-2:26 you handled that solo pretty damn well.

  • Very good. Have tried to play this myself. Excellent cover.

  • @dtimm612 Thank you for your information. The Nord only has one set of drawbar simulators, but when using the split function the upper half ( above middle C ) and the lower half can be set individually. OR....a second keyboard midied to the Nord becomes the lower keyboard and the Nord keyboard is the upper. I'll try your settings.
