4ZonesB3.ZPF
By helitom01
This is a very simple B3 Stage Setting. Control by Slider 1-4, no Overdrive. Sounds like a dark B3, great for many Songs.

6 Draw OrgJJ
By jimmyjames
I think the 6 Draw organ that was added in the updated factory set was a good step forward in getting a pretty authentic raw clone wheel sound out of the PX-5S. Nonetheless, I have been struggling with the shrillness of the setting especially in the upper ranges. Using my red-colored clonewheel as a model, I have rebalanced the sound through a combination of key follow, relative drawbar maximum value and EQ adjustments to arrive at a sound that IMO is more balanced and definitely closer to that of my clonewheel. This file has the DSP Leslie off (DSP on [through]) as I use a Hammond Leslie outboard pedal as opposed to the internal sim. Other than that, everything else has the same function as the factory setting.

9 Drawbar Organ
By jaspeter
I'm just getting into the Hammond B-3 sound and I was really impressed with the 9 Layer Organ that Jimmyjames posted back in July. I started looking into the way the drawbars worked and found some pretty good pages on the net that have some of the more popular registrations. Unfortunately, you need 9 drawbars to do that and the way they were tied together in the 9 Layer Organ didn't allow you to adjust all of them independently. So, I wanted to build something that would allow me to experiment. This really won't be a performance Stage Setting as much as a "play around with" Stage Setting that you can then solidify into different presets as you find them.
I really think that the key to pulling off a B-3 sound will be in presets because there aren't 30-some-odd drawbars on the PX-5S, for good reason! Here are some of the key notes you'll need to be aware of for this stage setting:
Drawbars: There are nine "drawbars". On the Hammond, they are organized this way: 16' 5 1/3' 8' 4' 2 2/3' 2' 1 3/5' 1 1/3' and 1'. They are on the PX-5S as follows, respectively: ModWheel, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, K1, K2.
Rotary effect: I like being able to experiment with these effects, so I moved them to K3.
K4: This controls the volume of the percussion. More on that below.
Pedal 1: This switches between 2nd percussion/slow decay and 3rd percussion/fast decay. I didn't think the 3rd harmonic sounded very nice when it suspended for too long, but you can adjust that as you like by editing the Stage Setting parameters.
Pedal 2: This turns the percussion on and off.
Percussion: I don't have a Hammond B-3 to sit next to, but I do have the internet! I found a good YouTube video in which some of the different sounds and registrations were isolated:
. With the laptop plugged into the audio in port of the PX-5S (good thinking, Casio!) I played this video through the same speaker as the keyboard. True to some of the other articles I read, the percussion sounded quite marimba-like, so that's on the percussion channel (zone 3).The way the original organs were built, percussion only happened for the first note struck in a legato passage, i.e. as long as any keys were held down, no more percussion sounded. To duplicate this effect, I created a phrase that plays one single note, and then dummy-fill (with expression controller values) to extend the phrase for awhile. Percussion will repeat if you hold down a note long enough, but at a tempo of 20, it hadn't repeated after 2 minutes of sounding a note. I think that'll do. If you want to bypass this effect and have percussion strike every note, regardless of other keys held down, simply turn off the arpeggio button. You will also need the OrganPercuss phrase file in slot 910 for this feature to work.

9 Layer Organ
By jimmyjames
This is a version of a nine tone layer organ similar to a B3 organ. I worked with a distinctly colored clone wheel to compare the PX-5S tones against. It will never be exact, but I think it is in the same zip code (perhaps the same ballpark if you use a Neo Vent) and could get you through a club gig if you don't have a clone wheel.
It contains two hex layers in Zones 1 and 2 and uses all twelve available layers. Only nine layers will sound on any one note presuming the sliders are all in the open position. Twelve layers are needed to simulate the duplicative use of the tone wheels in the B3 in the extreme ranges of the keyboard (see excerpt from Sound on Sound magazine Hugh Robjohns article below regarding this - link to full article http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul03/articles/hammondb3.asp). Zone 3 contains a truncated version of an organ tone to bring in the percussion. The key range of this Stage Setting is limited from C2 to C7 so keys above and below this level will be silent.
Slider/Knob settings:
Slider 1 controls the equivalent of the 16' and 8' drawbars.
Slider 2 controls the equivalent of the 4' and 2' drawbars.
Slider 3 controls the equivalent of the 5 1/3' and 2 2/3' drawbars.
Slider 4 controls the equivalent of the 1 3/5' drawbar.
Slider 5 controls the equivalent of the 1 1/3' drawbar.
Slider 6 controls the equivalent of the 1' drawbar.
Knob 1 controls the distortion level.
Knob 2 controls the vibrato/chorus setting.
Knob 3 controls 3rd percussion.
Knob 4 controls reverb.
Mod wheel and Pedal 1 toggle rotary speed.
"The New B3 has 96 digital tonewheel generators whereas the original B3 (and its siblings) had 91 active tonewheels (although there were actually 96 physical wheels in the generator, the unused ones being there to maintain the mechanical balance). However, if you do the sums, you'll find that there are actually 109 different tones required to produce nine harmonics on a 61-note keyboard. The original Hammonds overcame this problem by cheating — partial octaves were repeated at the top end of the keyboard, the repeating starting on different notes and octaves depending on the drawbar. On a stock B3 the 2-foot drawbar repeats only the top 'C' from the octave below, while the 1-foot drawbar repeats an octave and a half starting from the 'G', and the intermediate drawbars start repeating somewhere in between. This arrangement is usually referred to as 'fold-down' and it is an essential element of the subtle but characteristic tonal quality of the B3 and its siblings."

Accordion
By jimmyjames
This Stage Setting attempts to improve upon the standard accordion tones that come with the PX5S. The underlying tone is a two-layer hex layer with the waves being the bandoneon samples. The knob/slider/modulation/pedal settings control the same functions as the ConcertGrand setting except:
Knob 1 controls layer detuning so that you can increase the "musette" or "wet" effect of the sound as it is commonly referred to in accordion lingo. (* See further note on this below)
The Mod Wheel adds tremolo as opposed to vibrato to better simulate what happens on the accordion when the bellows are manipulated to provide some modulation to a sustained sound...usually through a hand shaking motion.
All-in-all it is just not possible to incorporate all of the physical attributes of playing a real accordion into any tone or Stage Setting on the PX5S (or any other electronic keyboard I have played except the Roland V-Accordion of course), Nonetheless, I am hoping some of you can "squeeze" something useful out of this...(ugh...).
* For some reason, the Bandoneon waves seems to be sharp a fair amount so you will note if you dissect the tone settings, that I made a fine tuning adjustment. That may be a result of the detuning effect in the base waves themselves. When you detune the layers further with a Knob 1 adjustment, your ears may perceive the sound to be sharpening further. If you plan to use a detuned level more often, I would go in and further adjust the fine tune level...unless of course you like that bit of dissonance.

musette Accordion - Musette
By David X
I tried to recreate the classic sound of the "musette" accordion with a little detuning between the various reeds and enhancing the bass sound (lacking original sampling) with the help of a baritone sax, which being a reed instrument has a very similar.
On slider 5 there is a chorus and on 6 there is a reverber.
Have a good fun

Anne's Pipe Organ
By Knuckles
This is my version of a full pipe church organ. It uses two zones, but the second is only to make the lowest note of the keyboard play an A5 (for use - should you wish - in Bach's Tocatta in Dm... ;-) ) Please me know if you wish me to upload another version with just one zone...
I have gigged this sound a lot and it sounds amazing through a PA. Here is a demo (with my apologies to Bach....)

Bay's Organ
By Walt from NC
Built my own custom Organ Hex Layer Tone using all 6 Hex Layers. Basically combined several Organ Tones (plus a Voice) and edited the pitch and filter sections heavily. This is my own sound, not trying to be another sound, just a decent cool organ for pads mostly. This is a tone, so can create Stage setting with other 3 zones to add strings, piano or anything else.

Detailed church organ
By krullebolle
This is a 'real church' organ stagesetting.
The goal was to create a detailed church organ sound, with not only the full power of the organ, but also the subtleties from blending different stops or retracting them.
To get this to work you need to download the stagesetting 'CHURCHORG'
I have added the separate hex layers also, eventhough they aren't necessary in order to function.
The layers act as different organ stops.
You can see the organ stops as different sounds which can be added to each other. Add layers (stops) by pulling down the sliders!
The stops in this stagesetting:
S1 -- 16' principal
S2 -- 8' Flute
S3 -- 4' principal
-- the above first 3 stops are making a base layer
S4 -- 3' mixture
S5 -- 3' nazard
S6 -- 8' trumpet
-- these 3 above give a different blend to the mix
K4 -- 8' voix céleste (slightly detuned sound, to create a wavering human voice effect).
-- I consider the above stop a solo register, not to be used with all the rest together, which is why it's on knob4. However you can blend the voix céleste nice with the flute or the principals.
K1 -- controls the amount of reverb. If you play in a church you wouldn't need reverb (but then again you'd have a real church organ, no?)
Example:
https://soundcloud.com/pieter-jan-lanssens/realistic-church-organ
Stops used here: in the beginning a tutti (everything except voix celeste), then only voix celeste, then flutes. Was a quick record, without any rehearsal, it shows at the end :-).

Drawbars 8-1.ZPF
By Tom Williams
Here's my first upload effort -- a rock organ's lower manual.
I have a nice synth which nicely models single-manual clonewheel, which I play in a stack above my new PX-5S. The PX can't match that for organ, but I figured I would take a stab at at least providing a backup (lower) manual functionality.
The initial (scrapped for now) trick was going to be to put the first three drawbars on the first slider, since so many registrations build from 888 00 0000. Then I was going to mix a couple of higher footages -- 1-3/5' and 1-1/3' -- on the 5th slider. Getting the 16', 5-1/3', and 8' pitches to be operated by one slider is proving to be a challenge, due to limitations in the PX-5S synth architecture. I'll work on that one again another day...
It occurred to me though that Hammond spinets don't even use 16' and 5-1/3' bars on the lower manual, and that I have an extra octave of keys at the bottom anyway, so part way through the exercise I ditched the two lower drawbars. So for now I offer a fader-to-drawbar mapping of
8'
4'
2-2/3'
2'
1-3/5' plus 1-13' mixture
1' (because lots of organists like that whistle to be separate from the others)
Initially, the mixture played too many major chords when I played LH bass, so I used the wonderful per-hexlayer key mapping to get the 1-3/5' sound to disappear about 1 octave below middle C, and to get the quint stops and 1' to play a little more quietly. This allows some nice bright RH comping and non-dissonant LH bass.
This "lower manual" uses neither percussion nor C/V, but it does use Overdrive rotary. The Mod wheel is mapped to overdrive level. Pedal 2 is toggles fast/slow rotating speaker. There is an editable, but non-modifiable, key click.

Gold Ceiling (PX-5S Hex Layer)
By Brad Saucier
This is my take on the distorted organ/synthy sound heard in the song Gold on the Ceiling by The Black Keys.
Try all versions. Let me know what you think in the comments. Version 2 is my pick for the song.
I added portamento for version 3 since the sound is kinda synthy and reminds me of the XW solo synth.

GREEN ONIONS
By athomyk
This stage setting is a try to reproduce that Booker T sound used in the famous Green Onions track. I have tuned a bit an old 6 drawbar stage setting uploaded on this forum few times ago. I changed the amp section, some parameters for the overdrive and volume layer. Hope you enjoy it!
Stage setting is based on 4 zone:
- Z1 and Z2 : HexLayer organ tone
- Z3 : another organ tone to improve depth sound
- Z4: click organ tone
Controls:
- Slider 1-6 : drawbar setting
- Knob 1 : overdrive gain/level
- Knob 2 : reverb
- Knob 3 : Low EQ
- Knob 4 : High EQ
- Modulation Wheel : increase gain for another kind of overdrive, target is Z2
- Pedal 1/Damper : switch rotor velocity

Ham N Eggon
By Knuckles
This is my first attempt at an organ sound. It is not very good yet and I had no intention of sharing it in this state, but it was suggested that I post it in case anyone fancied having a go at tweaking it (or performing major surgery on it....). I like the basic sound, but it does not cut through a mix very well. Not sure why - but that is not surprising as I do not know what I am doing.....
I should mention that this sound is derived from an excellent 9 layer organ sound which was posted here by someone else. That sound is very good, but not the sound which I am looking for - if that makes sense...hence my efforts.
