Compare different Clonewheel sounds

Post by Johannes »

Hi all,

just came across this great post by AnotherScott over at Keyboard Corner where he compares four clonewheel organ sounds (including the NS2):

The key is still not revealed so you can give it a listen and decide which one you like most, best, least (before becoming biased by knowing which is which ;-):

PS. Scott, I hope you don't mind me reposting it here!

Not in that contest, but the Hamichord (by Crumar and GSi with VB3 v2.0 inside) seems to be a nice competitor ;)
See this video , posted by Dynanord on the forum.

fair enough ;-) But I can always delete it, just really liked the idea, and since he is around here from time to time, thought I have to post it myself since he possibly did not want to post it here for biased(? ;-)) audiences or whatever reason...
Anyway, dying to see which is which keyboard....
Also, he just added two more clips on the soundcloud channel!

No problem posting here!

A better link is probably http://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthread ... cs/2478698 since that will always take you to the top of the thread, whereas it looks like the other may take you to a subsequent page.

The identity of the contenders will be revealed soon...

Reason: just fixed the link (hopefully, somehow KC links often get pasted wrongly (adding some ...).

The answer:

1 = Numa Organ
2 = Nord Stage 2
3 = Kronos CX3
4 = Hammond XM2 (XK1)

I'll also be posting more details about the comparison at the original location. But if anyone wants to comment on the comparison here, I'll be checking here as well.
