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.
This category covers all electric and electronic keyboard instruments, including the Hammond Organ which is possibly unique in being neither a strictly electronic instrument nor an amplified version of an acoustic instrument, and is therefore described as being an electric instrument but not an electronic instrument.
The B4 Organ II is a discontinued commercial, proprietary software synthesizer made by Native Instruments. The software runs as a stand-alone executable, or as a VST, DXi, or RTAS plugin in a Digital audio workstation. The software is an example of a "Clonewheel organ", an attempt at recreating the sound of a Hammond organ using software synthesis.
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 .
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.
Tom Tuson had made a specific point in interviews, that Diversi could offer a more affordable drawbar organ with a better sound engine alternative than Hammond Suzuki's "New B3," while being at a lower price and including a built-in Leslie speaker simulator. Though he once, like many organists, thought the Hammond and Leslie were inseparable ...
The classic Hammond sound benefits from the use of free-standing loudspeakers called tone cabinets. The sound is often further enhanced by rotating speaker units, usually manufactured by Leslie. The Hammond Organ was widely adopted in popular genres such as jazz, gospel, pop music, and rock music.
