Subject:Re: setting up a custom tonewheel in the CV

If I understand this correctly, if you update the SK1 to release 7 you can customise the tonewheel to sound almost identical to any hammond organ or for that matter clone you have sitting around the house.  If one is willing to do the work, how many different tonewheel setups is possible? Also as you say you hold a note, say C1 on the organ you are trying to duplicate and on the SK1, pull out a drawbar and start adjusting on the SK1. You do this for each of the 61 keys, then start over with the next drawbar and etc. Do I have it correct? thanks for any info. Leo

Mike, I'm not sure I understand the first two questions, but yes, I'm liking my SK1 more and more the more I tweak it. The process is simple, but long. You just hold a note on the CV (or whatever organ you're trying to clone) with the first drawbar out, then hold one on the SK again with the first drawbar out and adjust the 4 knobs to dial it in. That gets you 61 of them. Then I pulled the 5th one and got the higher ones. The trick seems to be using the resonance knob to get them just right. Apparently my CV really is out of spec, because my filters are cutting most of the notes out, but it sounds nice and mellow like that.
