This page includes audio examples that accompany “Modal Processor Effects Inspired by Hammond Tonewheel Organs” by Kurt James Werner and Jonathan S. Abel. If you want to hear the Hammondizer in action, skip to the audio for Figure 15–16. Figures 9–14 demonstrate specific aspects of the Hammondizer on very simple program material (sine waves).
