Subject:Re: Keyboard sound on Triumvirat song

The playback on the link keeps cutting out at 4:21 and it's difficult to
tell if I'm on the same song as you, but ...

That is a major amounts of 3rd harmonic percussion with a plain sound
like 88 8000 000 at 3:08. There are mods that can be done to the
percussion circuit to make it 2-3x as loud as normal. Keith Emerson had
it done on some of his Hammonds; this guy probably did, too. To get
that sound on a clone, you may have to drop the drawbars to something
like 55 5000 000, then boost the gain into the amp (or Vent) to
compensate. You want the base sound (minus percussion) to be loud
enough to just barely overdrive the amp, and the percussion to be twice
that strong (or more?) so that the percussion overdrives that amp fully.

Regards,
