Dave's excellent Hammond midi controller debuts


Recommended Posts

So, not going to put any logo on the back panel?

 

Sure, the Hammond on the front was from the original. It's a nice touch.

 

I suppose you want to keep people guessing, or make them have to ask you!

 

... Only one set of crucial components missing, my brother. WHERE ARE THE START/RUN SWITCHES? ... Alright...it's a stupid comment
Maybe, but I got a laugh out of it!

No logo on the back but put black tape over where the logo would be.
:laugh:

 

BTW, this thread has been spotted by those who do Keyboard's email newsletter (Fortner, I think).

 

Weve got some super-talented Forum members. Check out Daves custom-built Hammond MIDI controller.

Spelled even cooler like "HAM AND EGGS" :D

 

Ha, ha,- yep !

 

When I was a teenager in the late 60th, playing in school bands,- we had one in my hometown named "Hammond Eggs".

Later I played w/ the guitar player of that band and he always was very creative in finding crazy bandnames.

Hi, someone pointed me to this thread from the organ forum. I remember talking to you Moe on there about it and now you've finished it looks fantastic.

 

I started my own midi controller project although yours kinda puts mine to shame! haha if you could check it out that would be cool!

Here are a couple of images showing the midi and power interconnection between manuals.

I flip the top manual to this position when setting up to connect the manuals.

Here is the setup I used for the glam photos. A few yards of white felt served for the backdrops, and I had every high intensity light in the house trained on it. I used a Nikon D60 with its built in flash.

Hi Luke. I can't click on any of your project images over there because I don't belong to that forum. Do you have them available anywhere public?

 

Hi, my online album for it is here "http://imageshack.us/g/543/dsc00695c.jpg/"

We must of chatted on a different forum! Can't remember haha.

Absolutely stunning. The best of both worlds, a proven control surface and lightweight sound generation all wrapped in fine furniture grade woodwork. If you every decide to do this sort of building on commission..sign me up. This is what the Hammond future should looks like and it's still less expensive than the B3p by a long shot.

Hi, I am new to this forum and I just want to say how much I love you hammond midi. I am starting to make one myself and as I was looking through the internet for information I came across your midi controller and all I can say is wow! I just purchased the upper and lower manual from ebay, I have drawbars, and I am working on everything else.Do you have any advice for me to get me started.

Thanks for the advice. I am still waiting for the manuals to be delivered. i am start another project though. I want to program my own PIC since I've I still have programming PIC fresh in my head from college last year. I am ordering new books and programming kits now. I've once heard someone say that the best job is the one you create for yourself so maybe I can turn this into a bussiness. How is your controller working?
