Abe Here - Hello Everyone - Hammond on Linux

[theorganloft]

Greetings Friends,

I am Abe of theorganloft (http://www.theorganloft.com) and Linux Musician, believer, and protector. I like to use Ubuntu Studio. I find it to be stable and easy to operate.

As a military and civilian trained electronics technician, one of my hobbies is to restore Hammond and other old electronics organs. I also like to work with other organ related instruments such as the Pipe Organs, Harmonicas, and Accordions.

Using Linux, I can enhance the Hammond organ experience by adding MIDI outputs and controllers. Mix this on a linux mixer bus by adding direct out line output through a Leslie simulator from the original Hammond tone generators to get that nostalgic sound in my recordings.

See my projects on my blog: http://WWW.theorganloft.com

Thanks,
Abe

Wow. An excellent write-up.

I happened to contact a company that makes torsion springs. They asked me to mail them the broken spring for evaluation. To my surprise, I received five new springs in the mail within two weeks. The springs were exactly the specifications on the old spring. They also sent a specification letter with the spring explaining its torque specifications. I was elated, excited, buzzed, and just plain happy! The company sent these at no cost and informed me that if I needed more, there would be a cost.

It's things like this which help restore my faith in ethical, beneficial companies and humanity.

I've done similar repairs, but not on organs. I found your lead article to be exciting.

You write well. Please, maybe consider writing up a few linux tutorials?
