Are you talking about the digital pipe organs? -

Hey friends, Our upcoming CD is now available for pre-order. We're doing all Beatles tunes and it's called "B3tles - A Tribute to the Fab Four". Hope you guys will consider participating in the crowdfunding, which allows us to produce and release this material. http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/organissimo

I don't know for sure if the EXP-100 will mount. I think it will; pretty sure. The mount is simple a bracket that attaches to the expression pedal. Might be worth an email or call to Hammond USA.

Mr. Brewer teaches at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids and is a fine trombonist and a good friend.

Best quote: What are your feelings on digital versus analog? The linear storage of digital information is idealized. It can be perfect. It can never be perfect in analog because you cannot reproduce the varying voltages through the different translations from one medium to another. You go from sound to a microphone to a stylus cutting a groove. Then you have to play that back from another stylus wiggling in a groove, and then translate it back to voltage. The biggest distorter is the LP itself. I've made thousands of LP masters. I used to make 17 a day, with two lathes going simultaneously, and I'm glad to see the LP go. As far as I'm concerned, good riddance. It was a constant battle to try to make that music sound the way it should. It was never any good. And if people don't like what they hear in digital, they should blame the engineer who did it. Blame the mastering house. Blame the mixing engineer. That's why some digital recordings sound terrible, and I'm not denying that they do, but don't blame the medium. A lot of people argue that digital is a colder, sterile sound. Where do you think that comes from? Where does it come from? The engineers. You've noticed they've attributed the sound to the medium. They say digital is cold, so they've given it an attribute, but linear digital has no attributes. It's just a medium for storage. It's what you do with it. A lot of this has to do with the writing in consumer magazines. They've got to talk about something. http://jazzprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/05/rudy-van-gelder-signature-sound.html

What model of speakers are they? What model amp?

Do you have 'Bop Rascal' Kevin? That's one of my favorites. BTW, I produced an album for Bill that we recorded earlier in the spring. We're looking at an early 2017 release.

Delete that link from the thread and it should solve the problem.

The forum used to have a special "trash forum" where deleted posts and threads would go, but the software developers took that out. I asked if there was any way it could be re-implemented and they said no. The thing to do for the time being is to let me know AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS and I can have the database restored from a backup. We may lose a few posts, but that's better than an entire thread. After two days, it is too late.

Yep.

I use 808 000 000. Some folks like to put a bit of the second drawbar in there, like 828 000 000. To change how patches affect the lower manual when you select a new preset, go to the PATCH submenu and turn OFF the L/P parameter (Lower Preset). This is a global setting so once you change it, it stays that way... no saving required. For more information on what loads with each patch/preset, check out the PATCH LOAD section in the SK user manual, page 76.

Hey friends,
I'm selling some stuff to fund a Yamaha Montage purchase. Free shipping in the continental US for the first two. Up for grabs is:
Yamaha FS1r - I bought this used off my local Craigslist probably 6 years ago. I don't have the box or any of the original manuals but it's in fantastic shape. I used it on my In Memorandom album as well as my progressive rock album THEO - The Game of Ouroboros It's a very unique synthesizer and I'm a bit wary of letting it go. $900 or BO.
Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Keyboard - This is the monophonic keyboard version of the Mopho desktop module. I used this on the aforementioned albums pretty heavily but it's just not getting much use anymore. Classic analog Curtis chip sound. Fun to play! Original box and all that. Perfect shape. $500 or BO.
Wurlitzer 206a student model electric piano (modified) - This is a 206a Wurli, which is the same as the 200a except it was made for the classroom. It used to have a big heavy base with two speakers in it and the sustain pedal. I removed the base since it was a pain to move for gigging and painted the Wurli red. I've had this since the mid-90s and have done some work on it though not in the last 10+ years. Everything works as it should. No tremolo (though that can be added via a kit from Vintage Vibe), no sustain pedal (again, can be purchased), and the tuning isn't perfect but it plays good and sounds great. Plugs in with a standard IEC power cord. 1/4" output. Sold as is. $600 OBO NO SHIPPING ON THIS ONE Local pickup only (Lansing, MI) though I can meet you somewhere as long as it's reasonable.
EDIT: Also - Yamaha ES rack - This was my road dog for Root Doctor and the Janiva Magness band, so it's got some wear and tear cosmetically but still sounds and works great. New power supply (the old one died) from Yamaha. No original box but I've got the original manuals around here somewhere. $350 OBO. Free shipping in the continental US. -
Home again home again, jiggity ji...esus it's been 24 hours of trains, three planes, four airports, a taxi, and a 90 minute drive home from Windsor. But we're back. Good night.

Steamed mussels, Flemish stew, frittes, and beer. That was lunch. How do we top that for dinner?

These tiny strawberries are the most delicious I've ever had. The weekend outdoor markets in Leuven are overflowing with fresh local produce and meats and cheeses and everything you could need for the coming week's meals.
