I created this lightweight and warm, rich sounding Hammond B3 organ assemblage. Conception: many organist use standard presets, not pulled always the drawbars.
You can hear the 2.11 version
I sampled organ waves from one of the best sounding Hammond B3 - 1961, and designed with this samples to 21 presets. Included the complete lower, upper foldbacks, keyboard tapering, like a loudness swell volume pedal, screaming, crying bright chorus vibrato.
My later version is 2.22. Different:
Harder, brighter, tighter sound, stronger loudness effect, more presets and one unique: 6 different sping shocks!
Spring shock operating over the 61 keys with velocity.
Sound recorder: E-MU ESI4000 -ESI2000-ESI32 sampler. Read also the later EMU samplers: E64, E6400, E4, E5, E5000, etc...
Two midi master keyboards in B3 waterfall position: Roland A-33 7kg, Fatar SL-161 5kg. Enough for live gigs. Pa: Motion Sound KBR-3D 35kg tube preamped, miked leslie and stereo synth box. Cheaper alternative: Boss RT-20 Leslie effect + active box. Usage is easy: only preset change and play, selective vibrato switch on/off or adjust, vol/swell pedal.
I sell this sampled organ Sound Bank worldwide on CD for hundred Euro.

I had, tried most of Hammond clones, but I did not find any good sounding, lightweight, portable instruments. And all of other sound good this sampler: pianos, srings...
I use Steinway, Yamaha CP, Rhodes mk1, Wurlitzer, Clavinet pianos; Harpsichord, Farfisa, Vox organs; Violin, Flute, Choir Mellotrons; Prophet5, Juno106 synths; Fender bass, motor sounds.
In this excellent sampler included these with very tight sound presets and/or all sampled sounds in the world.

Wow, I was actually considering selling my ESi-4000 since I purchased Reason 4. I'll certainly be getting this for gigs. What device do you use to load your samples onto the Esi? I use a 2gb JAZ drive, but I have only one disk (out of many) that hasn't read error. I only wish the esi-4000 allowed for internal storage. Thanks for keeping this sampler alive for me!

I assambled CF card reader into my ESI sampler. I have only one 1 GB CF card, but much more than enough me. I suggest it. Before that i used 4GB IBM HDD.
I think in live music this EMU sampler better way than notebook based software.

Another inexpensive way would be using the Native Instruments B4 software

More expensiver and complicated. The EMU sampler is great, rich sounding instrument, included all of the sounds. Not only organ. Professional portable soundcard with 6-8 outputs are very expensive in similar sound quality.
