MkII Station Organ-ization

MkII Station Organ-ization

2008-02-04 by Bernie

I have a few organ questions for those of you who are familiar with 
the MkII standard tapes. These are the organs on the MkII right 
keyboard:

Station 1C         Organ (N 1)
Station 5A         Hammond Organ (N 2)
Station 5C         Tibia Organ (N 3)
Station 6C         Church Organ

Is the Church Organ on the left keyboard, Station 4A the same as the 
Station 6C Church Organ?

Is the Reverberated Organ on the left keyboard, Station 5A the same 
as the one on the right keyboard, Station 6B of the MkI?

Is the Hammond Organ on Station 5A the same as the M-Tron "Hammond C-
3 Slow Leslie"?

What is the organ on Station 1C? Has it been used in any recordings?

Is the Tibia Organ on Station 5C the organ on King Crimson's Cirkus 
and the Moody's Tuesday Afternoon? I'm not really sure if both cuts 
are using the same sound because the Tuesday Afternoon sound is not 
easy for me to hear.

Hi, Bernie.
 
Tuesday Afternoon is MkII 3 Violins and Tenor  Sax.  Straight from the mouth 
of Mike  himself.

Hi Frank,

Tenor Sax in unison with the 3 Violins on the intro? Sounds like 
Combined Brass to me, but then I think the Tenor Sax is in the 
Brass. Still, there's another sound under the Violins. Maybe I'm 
hearing Tenor Sax chords? I'll go back and listen again. It's more 
prominent on the BBC CD than on the original recording.

I find a nice butter sauce really brings out the flavour of the track as long as you use enough to COMPLETELY cover it. When I feel really decadent, a Sauce Chasseur is also excellent, especially if you add a few extra drops of truffle oil. But then there are those who refer a sprinkling of Parmesan. I don't think this works, especially if you're serving it with a tossed salad.

That does NOT sound appetizing.

I can't promise all the notes are there, but it sounds about right to me.

Hi all-

  I always thought it was an oboe mixing with the
violins, but now it makes sense.  The "Days" SACD
extras have an excellent early mix(outtake?)of
"Tuesday Afternoon", with the trons mixed foreward. 
One can also turn off the front 3 channels of the 5.1
SACD mix and hear the trons clearly, as they are
exclusively part of the rear channels.  I believe the
whole album is mixed this way (hint,hint).
