Small Organ Solo

[Kirby]

Hi!

I want to share something from my first months of playing. I discovered the blues scale and played with some organ patch. I was proud taht i could play so fast. I think the timing is very bad, but i like this little piece ;)

Have fun!

hm....not bad, but play the whole thing an octave higher...it won't sound so distorted.. :roll:

Sure that's a korg key!
Am I right?

BTW I also think you are playin' too much on the low keys!
But for the first month you're good :)

Hi, you are right, it's a Korg X5d. I notived the thing with the low keys too later, but in the first month, you don't really have an ear for that :)

It sounds really close to the one I have on Trinity!
And like I said you're on the right way... at least for me:
Most of the keyboardist learn things playin' other's material, I'm not a part of those! I like to learn jamming, I passed 2 years of my keyboardist life only jamming, now I have a good skill for jamming, then I'll learn other's work!
Because if you start playin' other's work I'll not be good on improvisation, mostly of that people play too mechanical and don't feel free to jam!
That's a problem IMHO!

Jamming = improvisation -> on my text :P

yeah, not bad for just starting off! but, definitely, don't go so low on the keys when you're using an organ patch! just sounds muddy. but that all comes with time. also, watch out when you record that your levels don't clip, cuz when you got really loud, it sounded like you were pushing the limits. the more you play around with it, the better you'll get it! keep rockin!

@ SpaceDyeMan: I play the keyboards almost 2 years now, all i have done so far, is jamming, playing scales, learning theory. I never learned to play a song or classical piece. Sometimes i figured out certain riffs by ear, for example the beginning of Bachs Toccata & Fugue in D minor, but that was a matter of luck.

The Trinity is a great device, i have the rack version.

@hephiroth:
The clipping was indeed a problem. But after the recording i learned what the right levels are, so my newer recordings are not distorted anymore :)

Watch out for using oran sounds with that much percussion and key click. Real organs only trigger the percussion on the first note in a legato run.

I find that fast runs sound really chappy from a sampled organ with heavy percussion.

Keep up the good work.

Seriously? I didn't know that! So the percussion on an organ is Monophonic in the sense that it'll only play when another key isn't being pressed? Hmm... *gets programming ideas*

Hi thanks for the tipp! I know the thing with the percussion nowadays, but back then, I just thougth "how cool sounds that :)". Today i use Organ sounds with very soft percussion or no percussion.

:D - Basically, percussion is a percussive 'note' played monophonically. On a B3 (or Wanna-B3 like I have) you can have 2nd or third percussion. I believe the difference is the interval of the percussion, but honestly I haven't studied it enough.

Listen to Child in Time for a good example of percussion.

Key clikc is something else, and I don't use it at all really...
