philicorda

And this is a Philicorda organ. You can get them pretty cheap on ebay these days. They have a fuckin cool spring reverb. It is mono, and it says spiong, but spiongs can be ok too, especially if you are into spaghetti westernish dessert guitars. See, on each side of the keyboard there, I drilled holes for extra jack-input and utputs - to be able to play directly into the spring-reverb- blocking the organ.

HARMOPHONE

This is my Harmophone. It makes sound with a windmachine blowing through its whistles. We didn't actually use it much on the album, cause the motor made too much noise. But you have to agree it looks pretty nice

keyboardroom

What you see (right) is a Clavinet duo/pianet ACE Hammond organ, toypiano (baby grand piano) and a Rhodes. Clavinets and Rhodes are recorded through Fender Twin and Fender Bandmaster. The organ went to a leslie 825. ( organ to the LEFT is called a "Hitorgan". ).

keyboard closet

I rarely record keyboards directly in to the console. They tend to sound better through a speaker. Usually a transistor amp.

An SM57 and 2X15" is always rigged up at the bottom of the closet, and all the keyboards are routed to it. Makes it fast and easy to get going, when inspiration strikes. The signal is amplified with a modded Roland Revo30 w/a DIY on/offswitch on the leslie effect. These are fantastic amps for keyboards - in the studio.(They are not usable for stage use, cause the gain is to weak)

They are all linked together with CV/trigger. Fron the top : TEISCO400, microkorg, Hitorgan, Korg SH-5, ARP solist, Korg Monopoly, Circuitbent Philicordia and a Moog liberation front.
