mcnab1dl Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hey everyone... does anybody know of any organ-type stagesettings/downloads that sound like 1) the organ in the Monkees "I'm a Believer" or 2) the organ in John Fogerty's "Centerfield", or (3) the high organ/keyboard sound in Springsteen's "Glory Days" ??? I have tried to re-create those specific sounds, but i just can't seem to get close enough to call them decent...(and honestly I don't understand enough about programming to get where I want to be.) Any suggestions/help/advice on these 3 different sounds would be most appreciated! I know the Casio response will probably be "Well, that's the fun of having such a versatile machine."... but I already understand that.- I'm just would like to avoid recreating the wheel if someone already knows of similar sounds like those mentioned above that already exist somewhere for the px-5s.

Joe Muscara Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 For this one, I'd try one of the Vox organs. For the others I'd try the "drawbar" organs. Those would at least be starting points, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 http://brucespringsteen.net/the-band/danny-federici I think he got this on a Hammond B-3, sounds like a wide-open theatre or church organ sound on "Glory Days", with a not-so percussive attack. And listen to this, sounds similar to Glory Days. "I'm A Believer" would be heavy sine wave type organ or calliope I think. Sort of opposite of these wide open theatre organ type sounds. I'll see if i can do both on the XW, I'm sure it's doable but might need to be a hex layer to sound that full theatre-organ sound. Hope this helps. Let your ears be your guide, grasshopper!

Normski Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 1, Vox Continental2, Hammond with fast Leslie on.3, Described as rinky-dink organ, honky-tonk piano. Sounds like a Blend of synth and Vox continental type sound to me.My band are thinking of adding this Glory days to our repertoire.I will upload my version of the sound when I have done one.Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwave Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm also trying to nail the "I'm A Believer" sound for a gig next week. The closest I can get is Mike Martin's superb Vox Continental V301H stage setting: http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/file/38-vox-continental-v301h/ To get a thinner sound I moved sliders 3 and 4 up to disable those drawbars, but this results in a loud unwanted click in drawbars 1 and 2 whenever a key is released. Has anyone else noticed this? I've experimented with changing a lot of parameters in this stage setting and tone but can't seem to find the source of the key release click. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you found the answer to the key click sound, but I did. Hope I'm not too late!The key click sound is hex layer 6. I just went into edit the volume and reduced it to a more acceptable level (for my ears). Or you could just turn off layer 6 altogether.Loz BrownCoventry UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwave Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks Loz! I thought I'd tried every possible parameter to find the release key click but somehow missed hex layer 6 - turning that down does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maarkr Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 we played the believer song and i used wither the Vox patch on the PX or a modded Farfisa patch on the XW. I may also reduce the click of the Vox, but I thought it made it just sound 'retro'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
