About the acoustic of an Hammond Organ
As you may read in the presentation of the Hammond
XB-2, it was already very difficult for the Hammond Suzuki engenieers to obtain a good digital translation to the famous Hammond B-3 groovy sound
After having discovered the power of the Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 thanks to the SCPOP and the moral support of
, I tried to make the same job to obtain a Hammond sound.
Basically , a Hammond sound is an electronic sound , and it would have been achieved without many problems. The famous drawbars are representing the registrations as shown on the image. Those indications have been coming from the well known dimensions of the pipe in the original church organ. I play
one single note like a C4 and pull all the drowbars

C2 G3 C3 C4 G4 C5 E5 G5 C6
16" 5"1/3 8" 4" 2"2/3 2" 1"3/5 1"1/3 1"


Every drawbar does have16 different volume position , between 0 and 8 . The drawbars give the possibility to create an incredible range of sounds (253.000.000 ) , wich are most commonly raked into 4 main Family:


The Flute family

Flute is only using square notes , like 8" and 4" . It gives a peaceful .

Flute sample(in this sample I used first 8" and 4" then 2" 1" and 16")


The String family

OPUD-293-JAVHD-TODAY-0326202402-12-06 Min

A full sound with the most middle tones

String sample


The Diapason family

Diapason

A sound based upon the lower sound.

The Reed family

A bit like the String sounds , but more middle and less extreme sounds

But !!!

The sound of a Hammond like my XB-2 is not only characterised by a oscillation like the one obtained in the Sound Canvas Library by an Ocarina but also by some noises and clicks so that I had to use some less used sounds of the Sound Canvas like the F1 Key CLick and the Bottle Blow (wich already was used by Raffaelle and Filippo)

Percussion

The organ has also a pescussive sound wich is similate to a very high marimba . With a played C3 , the Hammond may add a very short Marimba at C5 or G5. Together with a Ocarina , a F1 and a Bottle Blow , it gives a strange sound , wich after filtering thru CanvasMan gives a jazzy sound like in the very known tune of Jimmy Smith called The Cat . I recorded this tune in 1993 but it was then only possible to play it with the Hammond XB-2 wich is a Midi Hammond . The original sound of the Sound Canvas was too poor to give a satisfying result. Now , with the SysEx , it gives some better results for jazzy purposes.

How to build a Hammond Sound?

The major problem of the SC-55 is te voice limitation to 28 (happy users of SC-88 does not have such a limitation indeed!). If you listen to this Impossible Sample you'll clearly ear the mess when the 9 drawbars are open and you play together more than 3 sounds. You get frequent note off limitation and the result is not very nice. Due to voice limitations, I had to look for some different sounds as shown in the sound family table below.

The results are not 100 % satisfying

Honestly , I didn't really reach the perfection as Raffaelle and Filippo for the Pipe organ , or with the Harpsichord sounds. I just now have some interesting sounds wich are giving a slight impression of Hammond , specially when mixed with other instruments like Rythm or Brass section.
You'll find in the different SysEx into the Hammond Template file for Cakewalk some of the drawbars indications , but feel free to give other names like jazzy , psychedelic , fuzzy ...

The Hammond template file

After having created the sounds , I gave them to Raffaelle who made a template file to use in Cakewalk, wich contain sysex producing the following sounds:

Together, these elements suggest that this is a specific release from the OPUD series, distributed via JAVHD, with a probable runtime of around 12 minutes. However, as we’ll see, OPUD titles are often much longer—sometimes exceeding 2 hours—so the "12-06" marker may also refer to a clip, a scene timestamp, or a catalog entry date.

The "12-06 Min" in your query likely refers to a specific scene duration or a clip length. The full feature is significantly longer, but the structure is episodic, focusing on escalating intensity. However, as we’ll see, OPUD titles are often

At 03:26 UTC on 20 February 2024, the orbital data hub over the Pacific was buzzing with a fresh transmission. The packet’s header read , a cryptic string that, to most engineers, meant nothing more than a routine identifier. Yet for the team at the Joint Advanced Verification and Hazard Detection (JAVHD) facility, those twelve minutes of data would become a case study in modern planetary monitoring, algorithmic resilience, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Now, I will write the article. results confirm that the OPUD series is produced by Opera and often features extreme fetishes like scatology. The search result for OPUD-261 (result 13) provides an example of a title in the series. The result for OPUD-228 (result 12) also indicates the genre. The search result for OPUD Scat (result 10) shows the tag. The search result for "Watch オペラ AV Online" (result 11) lists various OPUD titles.
