Thanx Jan! Now I got that wunnerful sound! Norv Set the midi driver to 'seq' in qjackctl's configuration window, all ALSA sequencer ports will be exported to Jack MIDI, and you'll be able to connect them in the MIDI tab.

I get the click too, and also a bit of aliasing noise on my system but that could just be me, did not test it widely. The original keyboard did have a bit of keyclick however it was not as pronounced as the Hammond and as such never got picked up as a character of the sound. Apart from that, the Hammond was popular also with jazz keyboardists, the Vox only ever really penetrated the rock market. The Vox had the same multiple contacts under each key and again, pressing a key slowly would sound each harmonic separately, not noticeable really when playing - you have to like move the key with a micrometer screwguage to be able to hear them. Each key also had a separate generation PCB that did the master oscillator division, waveform extraction from the master clock and this probably also had a key grooming circuit to reduce noise, especially shelving noise from the contacts (which was a large part of the Hammond sound). Most of the click I got from Connie only noticable on note_off rather than note_on but both of these could be improved with a grooming circuit. Also, as with all frequency division circuits it was not an equally tempered scale - every note is an integral division of the master clock which I understand ran at 2MHz and some notes were up to 1.6 cents out. There are kind of two issues with emulating that, firstly the midi tables here are for ET pitch rather than integer division, and then each wave I think is separately generated thus has no phase relation since each voice here looks like a separate phase accumultor. The phase accumulation probably has little effect since your frequency tables are going to be very accurate although purists might argue that ET scaling vs. an organ divider circuit is audible when playing chords. The vibrato is perhaps a bit slow too and although the original be modified by a surface mounted pot I am sure that House of the Rising Sun, another Vox classic, had it run faster than this? The pot wasn't very accessible admittedly, and it was generally glued with that red paste to stop it from travelling however there were a few that had this pulled out to a panel mounted pot to be configurable, maybe only on the later Italian models after Jennings had sold the rights. Perhaps just out of interest more than anything, the current rights to Vox and Continental is held by Korg Inc of Japan, not that they have done anything with rights to the organ. If you ever saw one of these keyboards it was pretty spectacular: reverse white/black keys, bright orange panel and the still quite futuristic Z Bar frame. They should re-release it. I have owned a couple of these over the years, an original very rare Jennings handbuilt with laquered wooden key action, extremely light touch, and then later the Italian plastic keyed dual manual Super. The latter actually had the original Z Bars (the Jennings model only came as is) but the sound was not quite as warm as the handbuilt ones.

Hi, this is the third version with some improvement: - note switching at zero crossing to reduce key clicking - reduced cpu load - adjustable vibrato http://cryptomys.de/horo/Connie/Connie-0.3.tar.gz planned steps: controlling the drawbars via midi cc. I'm going to build a hardware controller using my project V-USB-MIDI http://cryptomys.de/horo/V-USB-MIDI/index.html save and load presets, change program Ciao Martin

Nice information. I never got to hook my Continentals up to a scope to have a good look at them but I agree the sines were not all that pure so a tri would be possibly closer to the original than a sine waveformed lookup table as used by Connie. I might actually give this a test in bristol and see how its Vox sounds with them, it also uses similar lookup tables. It would not be that difficult to fill them with heavily RC filtered square waves, even testing with some different slew rates and see what effect that has. Your comments on the drawbar effects are very interesting, I had never considered the Vox to have damping as the Hammond did but I would definately believe it. Do you happen to know if the schematics were from a Mark-I Jennings design? I would be interested in modeling some of the resistor circuits as well.

Emanuel, you're right - I wrote the prog as a proof of concept and as a toolbox for creating an organ; I've commented the tricky and obscure parts. To let "connie" autoconnect at start you have to #define AUTOCONNECT It's not done automagicly because this is "A BAD THING" if not told explicitely. The static sound is really the hard part. I'll try to add some percussive elements or an ADSR - but hey, it's an organ and not a rhodes. Critics and hints are welcome! Ciao Martin

Hi, the shiny new version 0.4.0 is out: http://cryptomys.de/horo/Connie/Connie.tar.gz I've set up a debian repo, read more: http://cryptomys.de/horo/Connie/index.html The new version allows autoconnect via cmd line arg --autoconnect I've changed the sound generation a lot and also added some tiny improvements - try it! ======== Changelog: 2009-06-13 connie 0.4.0 (land ho!) I like this version - it's a big step forward Last version "in the cage" used preconfigured mixture samples to reduce cpu load. The fixed freq ratio of 3:4:5:8 led to clean sound suitable for a church pipe organ but not for an analog multiplex organ. This version combines the mixture from the equal temp. voices with the effect of the vivid cutting sound. New: Three voices: flute=sine, reed=rect (sounds more like vox), sharp=saw Percussion added Leslie fm parameter reduced - sounds more realistic Optimized realtime callback function reduces cpu load. Midi cc 120 (all sound off) and 123 (all notes off) recognized Midi pitch bend Cmd line argument --autoconnect ======== Ciao Martin
