Godwin Guitar Organ

"Late 1970s Godwin Guitar Organ in perfect functional condition and excellent cosmetic condition condition.

This high end Godwin Guitar Organ is the best model of "guitorgan" ever made. It uses frets and whichever string you are playing to trigger circuits that output whatever note you're playing and produces a Hammond-like organ sound. It has 19 switches and 13 knobs. All knobs, potentiometers of the guitar and the pedal have been fully tested and have no scratching. Played like a guitar, it also even has guitar pickups and can be played as a guitar as well. Sounds incredible when fed into a Leslie.

This Godwin Organ works perfectly, and includes the original case and power supply/volume pedal, both in excellent condition.Cosmetically, the only flaw that is anything more than extremely minor is the little craquelure in the paint around the 1/4" jack. It is remarkably and convincingly Hammond-like when fed into a Leslie. The "impossible to find original schematics" are also included. Basically, the drawbar logic of a Hammond organ is incorporated into this guitar, except here the drawbars are rotary knobs, and each drawbar can be switched in or out. You can add or subtract as much "percussion" or tremolo as desired, You can also adjust the speed of the tremolo with fast/slow controls. The history of the Godwin Guitar Organ is that during the 1970s, Sisme, the Italian owner of Godwin Organs, aimed to attract guitarists with the ambitious Guitar-Organ. It looked impressive, with a bast array of controls, and was big on body dimensions, necessary to accommodate the copious electronics. As with the ill-fated Vox organ, frets were wired to tone generators and string completed the "circuit", creating the organ sound. Truly amazing, and truly rare. Don't miss this opportunity."

Free Weekly Ableton Live Rack #14: Noises, Risers, Swooshes

YouTube Uploaded by AfroDjMac on Jun 28, 2011

"This weeks Ableton Live Rack is a collection of white noise swooshes, risers, falling synths, and other useful transitional sounds. They are great for adding tension or creating releases. Most were created with either virtual synths or sampled synths, and some sounds were sampled from old video games. These are some of the exact sounds I use during my live performances to add anything from anticipation, signaling a change, or creating atmosphere. I have added a bunch of useful effects. These are explained in the video, as well as a quick demonstration of how I might use them on a track, although for the sake of example, I may be slightly overdoing it. Enjoy and Share :)

**Non Live users: You can use the samples in your DAW of choice**
