Hammond B3 Organ Lesson: Preset Stops

Video Transcript

"Now in this clips, in this clip, we're going to go over what I call stops and presets. Now we're referring to these keys over here, this first key is called the stop key because you're breaking the sound. On this key right here you have one sound that's displayed, but it's preset in the organ; as before I was saying you could create, some of these sounds are preset. That's a little bit soft there. That's a little bit warm there. That's, that's a really full. And to stop the sound, that's, you just hit this key here. Let's say that your band is, was down with a gig or someone else is coming up, just so that if someone bobs your organ, they won't hear it. Or let's say you're in the middle of service and you're playing at your church and now the preacher's preaching, you don't want to be the one that's making, causing the sound. So you hit, you turn off the sound there and you're free to lean on the organ and nothing's going to happen. So these are the presets, presets sounds that are already installed into the organ and you have the same for up here, it's just a duplicate. Presets sounds and that's how you stop the sound."
