from memory, i can recall that it was a monophonic single vco lead/solo synth with preset voices and a *very* limited architecture. i got mine from a church charity auction about five or six years ago and promptly sold it as it was of very limited use musically (for me) the organ sounds very good if you like that sort of thing and it had an anlalog preset beat box with the typical waltz and rhumba sounds.
ReplyDeleteas far as the orbit went, it had 'vibrato' and 'wah' switches as well as a preset bright and low filter setting. maybe octave too but i can't remember. what i do remember is that it also had a built in tape recorder so you could record some of this awesomeness and play it later for other....people. i used to like the beat box sounds.
Weird. I just played one of these about two weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was amazing. Tons and tons of character. The little keyboard isn't limited to basic single-osc sounds. You can rout a bunch of organ-ish presets to it. It also has a killer sounding leslie and an arpeggiator. I wanted to take it home with me. Ha.
I used to be selling 630 and 950 models in the year 1981 at my fathers musicstore.
ReplyDeleteHuman voice, whistling sounds,glenn miller big band and even symphonic strings are possible to registrate with this marvelous organ!
By the simplicity of the organ nobody would expect the enormous potential of sounds to create.
The Drum machine offers in the same way by mixing presets more rythmes as shown at the display!
I gonna buy again an Wurliter 625 after all kind of organs I've owned before.It sounds really great!
I have one for sale in the detroit area in good working order. just so heavy you have to drag it out of my parents basement. I would love to keep it but I live in LA now and my mom wants it gone. It sounds amazing I used it a lot of my new album Tiki for the Atomic Age www.myspace.com/kavakon if you want to hear it. contact me there if you want to buy it, I will let go at very affordable price.
ReplyDeletei inherited one & it sits in my garage at this time..
ReplyDeleteunfortunately, several of the actual keys have been broken over the yrs & need to be replaced...anyone out there know where parts might be found & how
keys are replaced? thanks bruce
