Hi all
I am wondering if anybody can recommend software that is capable of
producing a high quality organ sound, preferably like that of a Hammond B3.
It doesn't have to have heaps of controls, but something that I can modify
on the fly to make texture changes in the sound. Support for
LADSPA/JACK/Pure-Data/MIDI is preferable.
Alternatively, does anybody know of any good quality soundfonts and/or
samples that would fulfill this task?
Thanks
Luke

holborn's 'horgand' is one - it has six drawbars, effects (including a
rotary speaker simulation) and auto accompaniment. I'm no Hammond expert
though, so I couldn't tell you how close it sounds - but it does sound
nice :)

If you go to:
http://www.hammersound.net/
Click on Sounds, then Sound Font Library, then Organ. We've used the
B3 samples with good effect. As I recall they were in rar format, so
you'll need an unrar utility.

There are two. I downloaded the one in .rar format, and I would have to say
that it's rating is not justified. I will try the other one and keep on
looking.
Thanks for the suggestion.

If you're after the truly authentic Hammond sound, any soundfont or
sample is likely to disapoint. Unless you've got a Leslie speaker on
your Linux box, maybe? : )
There is another soundfont on that page marked OB-3, plus a Farfisa
soundfont. There is also a second page of soundfonts if you click at
the end of that page. I don't think they are bad for free-as-in-beer
samples.

BTW - I am not an organ player, but I have a couple of really great
GigaSampler GIG files of B3's. They are very convincing, and were only about
$15 each from Sonic Implants I think.
Obviously this doesn't do you any immediate good under Linux, as far as I
know, but I thought I'd chime in in case you have some tools I don't know
about.

If you also accept low-quality, very cheesy organ sounds you might
want to try my FM experiments for Pd:

I tried horgand which is not too bad, but I will have a look at gmorgan and
see what it has to offer.

Hi!
If you aren't afraid of using csound, then there is a very nice
b3-emulation. Just go Dave Phillips' page at http://linux-sound.org, then
click csound & cmix and then "csound page by yours truly" or something like
that. There he has some links to sco/orc files. There is one sound, which is
designed to be used with midi. He has also provied a demo-file. It sounded
indeed very convincing to me. And there you have a lesslie. :-)
Kindest regards

Could it be used for real-time performance?

I think it depends on your computer and how much other stuff you are
doing.

[re: Csound and my examples]
Hi all:
I appreciate the pointers to my pages, but alas, they aren't exactly
up-to-date (although the Linux Csound page is better maintained). I'll
attempt to answer the original query in a Csound context:
You can easily design a GEN table such as the following:
f1 0 8192 10 1 0 .9 0 0 .7 0 0 0 .4 0 0 0 0 .01
that will make a somewhat organ-ish sound. And yes indeed, it can be
triggered via MIDI for realtime performance. However, if you're going
the Csound route I suggest taking a look at Josep Comajuncosas'
DirectHammond CSD file. It's a realtime instrument with an FLTK
interface, you can check it out at Josep's site at csounds.com:
http://www.csounds.com/jmc/index.htm
Lots of interesting stuff there. Note that Josep writes his instruments
for Gabriel Maldonado's DirectCsound, a version of Csound for Windows,
but they can usually be adapted to work with either canonical Csound or
the Varga versions.
You might also want to check out Horgand:
http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/soudfontcombi/horgand.html
which also requires FLTK but is a standalone instrument, i.e. it does
not require Csound or any other synthesis app. It's also JACK-aware, a
nice touch.
Best regards,

Sorry about that. I did not realize that the organ stuff was not on
that page. I was confused.
