However I've been using a modified (as in "make it work with csound5") version of this as my main organ emulation for years. I'm right now in the process of cleaning the code up a bit, but I can put it somewhere if anyones interested. It's quite good, however I feel that beatrix has an extra degree of authencity. The click in the csound version sounds a little bit wrong and a better distortion is needed too. But it's still the best I've heard before trying out beatrix... -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quintet: http://www.anagrammer.dk | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions

Have a look at http://www.gjcp.net/svn/nekosynth/nekorgan/trunk I haven't looked at it for a while, but afair the sliders for the drawbar worked, and it could respond to a couple of MIDI continuous controllers to set vibrato mix, depth and speed. There are some deeply crufty bits of code, and a few instances of 48kHz samplerate being coded in directly. When it's working, it sounds like http://static.nekosynth.co.uk/demos/organ.ogg / organ.mp3 If you need a hand getting it going mail me off-list. Gordon

The major part of emulating a Hammond is the Leslie cab. Simulating a Leslie cab is *really really hard*. Actually, I *am* a little offended. If you don't like it, that's fine. If you've got some ideas for how to improve it, that's even better - I'd love to hear them. What I'd love even more is if you got coding and figured out how to make it sound better yourself. If all you've got is negative comments, perhaps you should keep looking or ask for your money back. Gordon

Could you make a tonewheel string machine by using little circular saw blade-shaped wheels? Gordon

To fiddle with the Leslie settings: MIDI CC 70 (0x46) controls the "rotor speed" - above 63 is fast, below is slow. MIDI CC 72 (0x48) controls the modulation depth (default is about 50) MIDI CC 75 (0x4b) controls the dry/wet mix (default is 0.5, a bit less sounds better to me). These are hardcoded in organ.c, around line 100 and below. Gordon
