hammond scanner vibrato? what is it?

[loss1234]

can anyone here shed some light on this? what is a scanner?
i have been trying to find a way to incorporate vibrato into my synth for organ type sounds but it seems to be more rare than i had thought.

thanks

Hi loss -
I don't know what the 'scanner' you mention is - but for the Hammond organ "leslie" type of sound, MFOS has a module that will simulate that.
For simple vibrato, you can run your lfo thru an attenuator then into the CV input of your VCO...at least that's how I do it.

yeah i know how to do VCO vibrato, but id like to have a classic vibrato module. maybe there isnt much of a difference?

anyway, i will look into the ray wilson module too!

You can simulate a Hammond chorus/vibrato circuit with an eight-stage delay line, an eight-input crossfader, and a triangle LFO.

The delay line lengths are fixed. The eight outputs are fed into the crossfader, and the crossfader is swept by the LFO. The crossfader alone produces the vibrato effect; mixing it with the original signal produces the chorus.

The lengths of the delay line are pretty critical. The sweet spot isn't very wide.

It would be fun for a DIY project

That's very cool. Thanks for posting that drawing. There is no chance I will ever try to DIY something that mechanical. It would make me insane.
