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 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.
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 VK-8 Combo Organ is a discontinued electronic keyboard introduced in 2002, [1] which simulates the sound of an electromechanical tonewheel-based Hammond organ. The VK-8 is both an improvement and successor to both the VK-7 and VK-77. The VK-8 itself was succeeded by the VK-88. [2] [1]
Korg N5: The N5 was introduced as a keyboard version of the Korg NS5R sound module [31] without expansion slot. Korg N1/N1R: The N1 is an 88-key (piano-action) synthesizer. It is the expanded version of the N5 with a larger sample ROM [32] for more AI2 voices and drum kits. In addition to the Korg voices, it provides full support for GM, GS and XG.
It includes 21 stops, and provides an emulation of the swell pedal (which behaves differently from a Hammond organ) and tremulant. The sound engine was improved, providing additional click levels and emulations of other models of Leslie Speaker. [3] In 2012 Clavia released the Nord C2D. It has the same form factor as the C2 model, but adds two ...
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 ...
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: Hammond-style organs used in pop, rock and jazz;
