Hello Rich,

It seems like, no matter how closely you try to mimic the waveform of a
real instrument,...



I have a feeling that this is exactly the problem. Engineers try to
mimic the output waveform instead of looking how the real instrument is
built. If they did that, they'd try to emulate all the individual parts
and pieces.

Yabbut, how many gyrators and phase shifters and stuff does it take to
model, for example, a bowed string? ;-)

Thanks!
Rich


Whatever it is, if it has to come out of speakers it isn't going to
sound quite right.

Hello Spehro,

In case of a Hammond organ it might since it has a speaker. Of course,
it's a tube amp but that is a whole other matter which alone could make
this thread balloon.

It'll take a lot of gyrators and filters but considering that one can
buy a 400MHz DSP for less than a crate of beer these days it should be
feasible. In case of our piano the DSP still couldn't win. The piano
doesn't need power. Not even light since it has its own candles.

Don't some of them have rotating speakers?

Sure, but can you flip a switch and be playing the flute or er-hu?

That is a "Leslie" speaker. I have to service the one at my church.
The bearings are shot.

If you get stuck or need a rare part talk to Bob:

That's where I got my Hammond oil. Very friendly and helpful. His dog
was very friendly as well, he greeted me first.

That was an accessory item, a Leslie speaker. A huge cabinet with a
rotating speaker on slide contacts, motors, gears. We don't have one and
we wouldn't know where to put it anyway. The amp under the organ is only
20W AFAIK with a huge speaker. That's real watts, not PMPS or whatever
kids call "power" these days. Meaning it can make the sound of a large
pipe organ and not lose steam after holding the bass chord for more than
a hundred milliseconds.


Sure, but can you flip a switch and be playing the flute or er-hu?


Actually you could. Ours doesn't have the flute presets but drawbars.
With these you can set the ratio of all the harmonics and the manual
shows the settings for a lot of common instruments. Some sound real,
some don't. But we also have a small environmentally friendly (zero
electric power, made from wood) flute. Not that I can play it but my
wife can.

Thanks! That is one big organ. The 20HP blower motor alone speaks
volumes. I wish we had one of these somewhere in California.

It is built into the whole building.

It was in the Paramont Theater in Oakland California back in 1932.

Jo Hello Spehro,

Jo That was an accessory item, a Leslie speaker. A huge cabinet with a
Jo rotating speaker on slide contacts, motors, gears.

Later on the speaker didn't rotate. The speaker was mounted face up.
Covering the speaker was a rotating funnel with 2 output horns at the
apex. The dual rotating horns gave a strong Doppler Effect that was
hard to duplicate electronically. A belt turned the rotating funnel
which was driven by a variable speed motor under user control.
