Jon Lord Sound Please

celtaidd	Date: May 17, 2007 @ 6:41 PM Anyone know where I can get a Jon Lord sound-alike soundfont? My musical career could depend on it no not really, but if you can help, I'll be eternally grateful
billrhynes	Date: May 19, 2007 @ 9:06 AM please don't take my word for it, but didn't he mostly use a Hammond b3 organ? If that's the case, there should be something out there... I'm probably wrong, I'm going back to bed
Alwex	Date: May 19, 2007 @ 5:43 PM Well he accually connected the hammond to marshall amps. So there you have the secret behind is sound
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 20, 2007 @ 8:49 PM Was it a Hammond B3? Oooooh... Must check my samples, have tons of Hammond sounds.
BlackMage	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 7:52 AM Lots of overdrive to a Hammond B3 methinks.
zedsalt	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 10:30 AM Are you working strictly with soft synths? I ask because, if you have a keyboard with a reasonably good fake Hammond sound (or two or three...a lot of synths have fake Hammonds with the fake stops at different fave settings) wouldn't it be more fun to play with the effects yourself? I often do that, going for another artist's signature sound, miss the mark somewhat, and land on what, to me, is the Holy Grail of Tone: something with a similar feel to what I was going for, but fresh-sounding and pretty much unique. There's this weird stereo lead guitar tone that I use, for instance, that I found searching for a Brian Mayesque sound, while possessing nothing even close to his equipment. I think there's some of it on "The Old Baal Game" on my artist page here. So, you know most Marshalls are AB or what they call "Valvestate", so any tube-driven amp or effect in front of any such thing solid state, experiment and tweak (the fun part, to me) and voila! Your own sound, maybe likely to draw comparisons to Lords', maybe not, but serving the same musical purpose.

leedsquietman	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 4:10 PM Native Instruments B4 II is a very good, if slightly costly VST that emulates the hammond b3 and other organs. But you can download the demo (it gives you 30 minutes before you need to restart it) and use that. If your DAW allows track freezing then you freeze the track renders it to a temporary audio file, hence getting around the 30 minute problem (if your 30 mins times out, just save the project, close your daw, reopen the daw and run the vst in demo mode for another 30 minutes ). Or you can render the file to audio if you don;t have freeze track capability. http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=b4ii_us http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=demoversions_us
