See, Griffy? Thanks for ruining my idea.

HAMMOE

Amazing review, Mitch. It's exactly what i expected it to be (vb3 owner here) and i got some serious GAS now. But please do let us updated in the next coming months, any bug, any software issue at all. Congrats, man!

Moe, hope i'm not intruding or being rude here (if i am, no need to answer this), but what was the total cost for all the parts (not couting the handwork), and if you had to put a price on it, how much would it be?

Please Moe, take some pictures of the knobs. I can't read what's written and i'm dying to know. Once again, amazing

Man, i'm drooling! You have my eternal salutation, sir.

Jim, i need your address!

A A100 for 50$ in working condition? I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately there are no deals like that in my area, there's a M3 for 250$, i thought of buying it but decided not to. What's amazing is it sat for two full days at an estate sale priced at $200. I showed up the second day when everything was half off, and it was still there so I figured by that point nobody wanted it. I offered the estate brokers the $50 after the sale and they accepted. The organ would have probably gone to the dumpster if I hadn't called. Only issues were scratchy drawbars and some missing harmonics here and there which I've since fixed. The finish is living room quality as it sat in the house for nearly 50 years! Lucky you! I can probably find some L-100 or similar for a 100$, but not an A-100 around here. I'm always looking at the local craigslist (have done some selling/buying/trading myself) but wasn't aware of state sales, i mean, of course i knew they existed, but never thought about looking at them as well. Thanks, i'll be searching for estate sales in my area and who knows what i might find. Edit : a question, were you able to try it out and make sure everything was working at the estate sale?

That's been out for a while, and it's a POS. IMHO, of course. Oh, is it? I thought i saw it on NAMM this year, i guess it was 2010 not 2011.

Like i said before, if you really want something that sounds like a b3, forget Triton's organ patches, I own one and have to be honest with you, i'm sorry but they don't sound good at all. Some of the best clones out there (that i can remember off the top of my head) : Hammond XK3 Nord Electro 3 KeyB Numa There's also a new Hammond coming out : Hammond SK1 And a new Roland clone coming out as well : Roland VR-700 Digital ones : VB3 Native Instruments B4 I never tried the Korg G4 , but i believe the Ventilator still is the best leslie sim. on the market, i also happen to own one and i'm very happy with it. (I've never tried the Korg CX3, so i can't say much about it) Hope this helps you.

Definitely, I own a Triton too and the organ patches are not just bad, they're really really bad. I guess you can tweak it a bit and make it sound usable. The choices you have : get a M3, M-100 or something similar, Remember : even though they're lighter than a B3, they're still heavy, by heavy i mean really heavy. If you're moving around too much, this is not the best option. Or get a clone (with drawbars would be a better choice, so you can start understanding how it works).

What's your budget? A real Hammond doesn't have to weigh very much. What about the XK-3c? I'd choose it over the Triton Extreme. I'd choose ANY clone over the Triton Extreme.

I was watching this video and there was this 60's italian rock tune on the background, that reminded me of what my dad used to listen to, so i decided to write a homage to that decade, here it is: http://www.4shared.com/audio/2WGqfxaP/White_Acid_-_A_Homage_To_The_6.html

This is something i made last year using only reason + a midi keyboard. I was participating on this Prog rock contest with this song, it surprised me as hell but it actually won first place. It's just pieces and ideas "glued" together to make a song out of it. http://www.4shared.com/audio/sIDj0uwj/Cloudy_sky_in_mars.html
