That was very nice. I really liked the mix of traditional-sounding
organ and synthesizer. I think they go together very well.
Although I'm not going to consult a friend who is a fanatic about
"original instruments" and Baroque organs and utterly hates
synthesizers.
What's his take on Hammond organs (tone wheels rotating before
pickups)?
Certainly an "original instrument", not a synthesizer, not a digitally
sampled thing.
I would classify it as a synthesizer, as it is synthesizing the
sounds from
basic tones, with some crude filtering.
The "basic tones" are from physical rotation. And Italian pipe organs
also synthesize the sounds from basic tones instead of having single
stops with a characteristic tone (which is more in the German organ
tradition).
