Default Bontempi Organ

I mentioned to MrsREV that I'd like a keyboard for Christmas for general MIDI and sampling duties (i.e. titting about on the computer making silly noises) and she said "oh, I've got a keyboard at my Mum's house that I used to use". In my head I pictured some toy-like Casio effort, but imagine my suprise when she came home with a Bontempi B9 reed organ c1970 in full working order. It makes such a naff noise it makes me laugh while I'm playing it

OK, so it's not exactly MIDI compatible, but once it's been passed through Fruity Loops a few times it'll sound pretty cool

Hmm, I guess no-one else likes to pound away on their organ, then?

retro tastic
I sample a load of kids music toys (like little drum machine things)
Mangle them in the sampler enough and they can sound interesting

Bring it to the Xmas party, you can accompany Sonic on his gee-tar and we can have a big gay jamboree. PMSL!

There's an old pensioner in Southport who sits on Lord St. playing with his organ. He calls himself "Doktor Hotfingers" and tries to sell cassette tapes of his best hits. That could be you in 35 years time.

Try a Hammond RT3, It is huge but great fun. The Studio would be lost without it.
