Tone Profile

The organ tone is a baroque-inspired, cathedral-esque sound, characterized by a lush, swirling texture, and a slightly melancholic vibe. It emulates the sound of a church organ but with a more portable electronic setup.

Recording Notes

• The Hammond organ sound was fed through a Leslie speaker, which provided the signature swirling vibrato and tremolo effects.
• The Leslie's rotating horn and baffle create a spatial and dynamic sound.
• The M-102 is a smaller console version of the B-3, making it more portable for touring and recording.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Hammond organ emulation or a physical Hammond organ.
• Use a Leslie speaker simulator plugin or, ideally, a real Leslie speaker cabinet.
• Adjust the speed of the Leslie's rotor to achieve the desired swirling effect.
• Experiment with drawbar settings on the Hammond to get a similar baroque-inspired tone. Focus on the higher harmonics to give it a cathedral-esque quality.
• Add a touch of reverb to simulate the ambiance of a large space.
