Extremely rare HAMMOND 102200 vintage analog Synthesizer vs Darth NoiseLabCH


Published on Sep 22, 2014 NoiselabCH

"Recorded live with an EDEN Bassamp and an IPhone, without any external effects...

One of a few still working HAMMOND 102200 preset Synthesizer explored by Darth NoiseLabCH. A widely unknown vintage analog monophonic synthesizer built in 1974. HAMMOND did only build 200 of this classic preset synth. Similar to ROLAND SH-2000, ELKA Soloist, ARP Soloist etc. the HAMMOND 102200 was intended to stay on top of an organ.

1 Osc only, but organ like divide is possible, so you have in fact a pseudo-3-Osc VCO, add noise and you have unexpected possibilities. However, I guess Hammond did not plan to press more than 2 Regs at once, pressing three together is a pain. My intention was not to damage it, so in following sound examples no more than 2 are used.

The six presets are not bad, but you can't use them with the 49 press-buttons for VCO, VCF, VCA settings (Yes, no slider or knobs except for Wind/Noise, Volume and Tune). So to get something out of this machine you need to to 'cancel' the presets to enter manual mode. All sounds presented are in manual mode exept short preset examples at the end of the vid.

Definitely a underrated Synth, well, only 200 built

As usual pretty bad keyboard play, laying focus on sound creation ;-)"
