Roland VK-7. The Roland VK-7 is an electronic keyboard introduced in 1997 which simulates the sound of an electromechanical Hammond organ.Like other electronic musical instruments that emulate (or "clone") the sound of the electromechanical tonewheel-based organs formerly manufactured by Hammond, the VK-7 is referred to as a clonewheel organ.
The Hammond organ is an electromechanical organ that was designed and built by Laurens Hammond in 1934. While the Hammond organ was originally sold to churches as a lower-cost alternative to the pipe organ, it came to be used for jazz, blues, and then to a greater extent in rock music (in the 1960s and 1970s) and gospel music.
The Hammond organ is an electric organ, invented by Laurens Hammond and John M. Hanert [1] and first manufactured in 1935. [2] Various models were produced, which originally used tonewheels to generate sound via additive synthesis , where component waveform ratios are mixed by sliding switches called drawbars and imitate the pipe organ's registers.
An electric organ, also known as electronic organ, is an electronic keyboard instrument which was derived from the harmonium, pipe organ and theatre organ. Originally designed to imitate their sound, or orchestral sounds, it has since developed into several types of instruments:
The basic component sound of a Hammond organ comes from a tonewheel. Each one rotates in front of an electromagnetic pickup. The variation in the magnetic field induces a small alternating current at a particular frequency, which represents a signal similar to a sine wave. When a key is pressed on the organ, it completes a circuit of nine ...
Korg Triton rack-mountable sound module. A sound module is an electronic musical instrument without a human-playable interface such as a piano-style musical keyboard.Sound modules have to be operated using an externally connected device, which is often a MIDI controller, of which the most common type is the musical keyboard.
A massive pipe organ that underscored the drama and comedy of silent movies with live music in Detroit's ornate Hollywood Theatre nearly a century ago was dismantled into thousands of pieces and ...
The Korg CX-3 is an electronic clonewheel organ with drawbars that simulates the sound of an electromechanical Hammond organ and the Leslie speaker, a rotating speaker effect unit. The CX-3 was first introduced in 1979. [1] [2] Two models of the CX-3 were produced: a 1979 analog version and a 2001 digital version.
