Is there a list of common organ drawbar settings for common songs?


Recommended Posts

I miss Sven. Whenever I had a problem, usually some goofy MIDI communication thing, Sven would provide the solution. He knows his stuff.

What's the point? It's not going to help you create your own thread, is it? The same thread, typed by a 70-year-old Mexican ex-roadie will have a completely different tone to that of a gifted Greek prodigy working with ChatGPT.

This would be a waste of time. You have not taken into account the intricacies of thread development, syntax and adverbial phrase perception. No Threadslayer slinger of note has ever developed a working thread from a list.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Then we have the explicit setting for those Detroit techno aficionados, can be dialed in anywhere on the row:

There is a drawbar setting I really liked but it caused my C-3 to glitch every so often. That setting is 088000000.

Here’s a masterful squabbling tutorial.   Tony’s demonstration of the squabbling roll is killer.  
This technique is taking the organ and making it a new instrument.  
 

Tony describes how he learned to play it listening to Vinyl.    A point in Steve’s favor. 
 

 


This is exactly right and the best route to practice squabbling.  He's also showing the genius of what Jimmy Smith introduced to the masses (this based on his version of Mack The Knife).  You still need to make melody. That part never changes.
