Subject:Re: Finally revealed, new tool eliminates the "shrill factor"

Hey Ted,
I didn't really want to bring in the manual tapering and resistance
wiring part of my project, due to its massive complexity. I do
recognize that aspect, and for alot of upper tones, the level does in
fact increase, but will hit a limit when a defined number of "taps" to
the same tonewheel are reached, regardless of which tonewheel (all 91
have a limit) but the upper ones #'s 80-91 are the biggest players in
this game. I wish I could display the math on this, but each note for
each drawbar has its own defined resistance, I don't know how to show it.
Although my model isn't an exact mathematical match to the Hammond, it
takes it one step closer to what I hear as a proper organ tone to feed
a preamp/leslie/amp. Your feedback and criticisms are welcome, I'm
always willing to learn something new from a real pro.
Regards,
J
