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.

Yeah. And?

That does NOT sound appetizing.

Largely determined by which role you are taking, I'd wager.

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

Nicely done!

Execllent! Thank you!!

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).
