Calumet

As everyone else in this thread has said, the Motion Sound amps finally allow us to not only be heard on stage, but to be heard in full range stereo, all out of one cabinet. I have played through all of the models. I think the 408 is a good amp if you really don’t need a bunch of bass response. However, I’d go with the 610 instead just for the extra punch when needed. (I actually use the 612 because I play organ and pedals. I’ve never needed a sub with that amp. Plenty of bass for an organ trio situation.)

I’m reading up on the YC Series. I know that the organ does not trigger at the high point. Has there been discussion about Yamaha fixing this? It looks like a great Swiss Army knife keyboard other than that. Thanks!

To address what the original poster said: I read through this entire thread and only once did I see anything related to “language” or “vocabulary.” I would suggest that what the OP wants is some new language and ability to incorporate that into his current playing. But, at the same time, he seems unwilling or disinterested (for one reason or another) in really investigating the source of a lot of the vocabulary that would lead him to the improved facility he craves. You don’t have to be a “jazzer” (lol) to add some harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary to your playing. Some simple concepts, when applied in the right places, can add a ton of color and flavor to your playing, no matter what genre you are enmeshed in. There are a million method books out there of varying degrees of usefulness. One that I always recommend because it doesn’t deal at all with the whole “chord scale” trend is “Hip Licks for Saxophone” by Gregg Fishman. As the name implies, it’s a lick book, but it’s extremely well assembled, offering a ton of classic, usable language in an easily digestible format. It’s really up to the player to take these little bits of information and incorporate them and find ways to expand on them. (The “Licks” part of the title does the book a disservice, I think. It should be called “Hip Language,” because that is what separates blues guys from gospel guys from jazz guys - different language.)

Nice call, Phred. The part was originally a guitar part but we decided to try something different.

Hey all, Here is a track by my band Thousand Houses called "Endless Wheel" from our latest album, Reset. I am playing clav, Hammond and Wurly on it. Let me know what you think. www.thousandhouses.com/mp3s/EndlessWheel.mp3

Apparently nothing has changed here. Can someone give me a tip on how to search for posts about the Korg R3?

I'm just going to keep posting about this until something is fixed. I just searched "Hammond". No matter what search parameters I enter, I get four pages of results. Newer than 1 year - 4 pages. Newer than 3 years - 4 pages. Yeah. That can't be right.

Simply the worst search function of any forum I regularly check. I just did a search for "Hammond" newer than last 4 years. I got posts back to March. Now...I have a hard time believing there is nothing on this forum before that. As I said earlier, this has ruined the forum.

Ok...I tried searching Kurzweil + Rhodes and I got a message saying that all my search keywords were too short.

It really has ruined the forum, in my opinion. This used to be my go-to forum for info and now I can't find anything specific...I get results for everything.

What happened to the ability to search for only the words you entered? If I want info about the Roland SRX-12, I don't want every post that has the word Roland in it. Am I missing something?
