But because pipe organs, and most organs, use fixed tuning, symphonic music will sound quite dissonant when played on them: youtube.com
As opposed to if you let an orchestra play it: youtube.com
To learn more about tuning schemes and the ambiguities in musical notation, and other things not always presented correctly in musical instruction: amazon.com
With perfect temper tuning, the 5th is very close to a natural interval. But the 3rd and 4th are quite a ways off. Were it not for the near ideal 5th, temper tuning would likely not have been adopted. And then in say the Blues, the 3rd and 7th are being bent. So that genre developed because of the limits in temper tuning.
Most keyboard music is written and arranged to evade and downplay these limitations. Comping, staccato, etc.
And then with acoustic pianos it goes even further. As these have intermodulation through the sound board, you can't tune them perfect temper, or they will be unplayable. So they are tuned by heard 5ths and 4ths, and by octave stretching. It is a compromise, and I am sure that it works better in some keys than in others.
I'm not seeing that they offer 32 pedal though, the accepted standard for classical and church organs. They only seem to have 25 pedal, as is common with theater organs. In my view, with as large as their consoles are, you might as well have 32 pedals.
Wersi is doing real good. I think when they started back in the 1970's they also offered a kit version.
Look at the big boxes. Those should be speaker cabinets, particularly for the pedal manual. This probably goes down to the 32' rank. This would be one C note lower than an 88 key piano. Just a bit above 16hz with 440hz A tuning.
Assuming that for a rock band you will have drums, bass, and vocals.
Then is it best to have:
one guitarist ( Jimi Hendrix, Who, Led Zeppelin )
two guitarists ( Beatles, Jefferson Airplane )
one guitarist and one keyboardist ( Deep Purple, Santana, Steppenwolfe, Iron Butterfly, Doors, Genesis, Peter Frampton )
two guitarists and one keyboardist ( Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton )
I know that some of these groups have people play different things at some times, but I'm just relating what they usually do. And I know that Clapton often has two keyboard players, and that the Rolling Stones started without a regular keyboard player.
This fanfare was written on request from Eugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, in response to the US entry into the Second World War.
My own view is that tone wheel and draw bar organs are something of the past, and that you can do better with digital today. And also, the Hammonds were not that bad.
So for a rock back with Drums and Bass, do you think it better to have two guitars or one guitar and a keyboard?
My own view is that Hammond diapason sound is very much like an electric guitar overdriving a push pull and transformer coupled amplifier into soft even harmonic distortion. I think it sounds neat.
And so then the organ and the guitar can well compliment each other, while at the same time being different enough to give greater versatility and be easily distinguished.
“More than dreamers, Ogletree and Marshall are revolutionaries in the erudite, passionate, and proudly obscure world of organ building. From their base in Needham, Mass., they have set out to build the finest, cost-is-no-object digital organs in the world — instruments to rival in grandeur the world’s leading pipe organs. And by many accounts have succeeded, brilliantly.”

At the heart of the Rose Center for Earth and Space is an 87-foot-diameter sphere that appears to float inside a glass cube. Its upper half constitutes the Hayden Planetarium, which opened in 2000 along with the Rose Center for Earth and Space. It remains an enduring beacon of astrophysical education, as was its predecessor, which opened in 1935.
The 429-seat Space Theater, which features a custom-made Zeiss Mark IX Star Projector and a Digital Dome Projection System to display a hyperrealistic view of the planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies, uses a scientifically accurate 3D map of the observable universe based on millions of astronomical observations. Known as the Digital Universe Atlas, this map of the cosmos is maintained by a team of Museum scientists and visualization experts in collaboration with colleagues from organizations such as NASA. The Digital Universe Atlas also provides the foundation for the Museum’s Space Shows, which are screened in the Space Theater.
Usually songs like this, with the pounding rhythm, are in the key of C. And just to my ear it sounds so, testing by singing little piano songs I am familiar with.
Now I've never known why this is. I presume it is because of how the percussion is tuned. Musicians insist that it is not tuned to any specific pitch, but just until it sounds good. But just by listening to lots of music, you can see that it is tuned, just like tympani are tuned.
So without something handy to compare it to, I look for sheet music and I find this guitar tab version.
Now I find it very unlikely that they are playing these sharped cords as written, and fingering them as indicated in the roll overs. Even though guitar chords are clumsy on keyboards, one could still make the comparison and see which notes are in and out. To make keyboard music sound just like guitar music you do have to play it exactly the same way.
And then the Bbm instead of Am.
Most likely it is just C, F, G chords. And they have just tuned one semi-tone up from what ever they consider standards. All the more so as it is all guitar music.
But there would be others here with better experience on which to appraise this.
Arnold Schönberg: Pélleas und Melisande op.5 (1903) youtube.com
Do people like Arnold Schonberg? Do you think that because of the amount of dissonance which is already present in his music, that it would adapt well to the fixed tuning of keyboard instruments?

San Jose's Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, has a small planetarium. It is what this company calls "Sky Theater". I would say its diameter is about 40'. All the people face mostly the same direction, and there is a step rise to the seating. So besides the dome, they also use it to show video material in just that front direction, even extending below the rim of the hemisphere.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why somebody would retreat into their archives and bump this thread repeatedly since December 9, 2015
This is masturbation.
This is why people get so annoyed with SJG. While he may have something of value to say at times, this drivel is ignore-worthy. His ignoring the fact that he is conversing with himself for nearly a year suggests mild derangement, at the least.
So the dim chord is like playing B D F, its the monster chasing the girl, and in movies girls always run up staircases.
So Fdim = F Ab B, and note that F B is the tritone. Though not all of the notes are diatonic ( in the scale ) the F B tritone should make listeners feel that this is to use the C maj scale.
Fdim7 = F Ab B Eb, that is it should be a flatted 7th
but in the RH part they write D F Ab B ???
Cmaj7 = C E G B
so they use that, plus some non-harmonic D. But this helps it get to G9
G9 = G B D F A Notice since G is the Dominant, that the flatted 7th is still diatonic.
Fm = F Ab C This should be softer than Fdim, as there is no tritone ( flatted 5th, 6 semitones step )
But then this goes easily to Cmaj7, and then G9
The only way to get a white note augmented 5th is E - C. And they get that when they make E the second cadence note, over Cmaj7, and C sounding in the LH part.
And it does seem like it ends on C and Cmaj7.
I knew a life long organ player who you could just hand sheet music too and he could sing it perfectly, including things which didn't seem to follow any harmony rules.
He said, "So does it sound like ...?"
And I was flabergasted and said, " ... y-e-s ..."
He just chuckled and told me about a college class he was in where the instructor would just hand him music to sing, when he wanted the class to know what it sounded like.
SJG
PS according to this, Fdim7 has a double flatted E, = D. chord-c.com
Don't know about this dim7.
Also, I guess you can also get the white note Augmented 5th / Major 3rd in F - A and in G -B.
WTF?????? I like the Star Wars part, but I didn't expect a lesson in chord theory....anyone interested in diminished scales should listen to lots of Cheap Trick; Neilson has made a career out of them...the last bridge on Dream Police is a classic example of his minor 3rd writing style.
Rockstar, actually I had always noticed that Cheap Trick's music had an unusual sound. But I never thought about why that would be so. Remembering it now, yes it could be diminished chords.
I never really cared for them though, as they struck me as posers. But I will try to examine some of their songs. Just by listening, I cannot at this point tell for sure what they are doing. It would have to be by trying to play along with them. Then I could figure it out. Otherwise it has to be by looking at written music, standard or guitar tabs.
This really leaves me ROTFLMFAO. I did not fully appreciate it when it originally was airing.
Those Were The Days / All in the Family youtube.com
But with both these guys you posted videos for, I would have a very hard time figuring out what they are doing. Most I could do is try to pick out chords and figure out what key they are in. The rest of it I would not be able to follow in any way.
Now in contrast to the two songs mikeya02 posted, this is one I could figure out how to play along with. Having printed music would help, but even without that I could figure it out by trial and error.
This song has a distinctive sound, and I could figure out why that is so. I know that the people who write and play such music have come to have an intuitive understanding of such things, whether or not they can give a technical explanation.
Well yes, Asus and F#m11 are going to give you something unusual. But to understand further I'd have to learn to play it myself, so that I could recognize what actually makes it different from other music.
I am finding this as inconclusive. Most of the standard sheet music offerings cost money. It could be C, but it could be G. And then some of these online guitar tabs are strange. I think they are generated by using digital signal processing on the recording. They use uncommon chord roots, like F#. And probably this is because the DSP is done assuming one tuning, but the recording was made 1/2 step lower. So it is unrealistic because no one would use that method of playing it.
To know, I think one would have to actually play along with them, and using their tuning.
Lots of hot girls. On TJAmigos they say that you know you are a zona afficiando when you are making daily grips to Las Chavelas or Bar Tropical for some tongue.
• The Chapel contains the fourth-largest pipe
organ in the city (after Wannamaker, The
University of Pennsylvania and The Kimmel
Center), a 6,700-pipe Aeolian-Skinner organ.
• The odd shape of Chapel roof is due to the fact
that all the organ pipes are housed above the
auditorium in the ceiling.
" The organ chamber in the Girard College Chapel is certainly unique. Located in the ceiling at a height of 100' above the floor, the chamber is 60' feet long, 40' feet wide at one end and 22' at the other end, with a height inside the chamber of 40'. Because of the hard surfaces of the chamber and the room below, as well as the open grill permitting the sound to travel unhindered to the 2500-seat room below, the sound of the organ is tremendous. It is one of the most exciting organs in the country."
World Party - Put the Message in the Box - original CD version youtube.com
What I had read once was that most popular music is characterized by a serious of harmony changes, the very subtle mode changes, and temporary key changes. And this does seem to be true.
And I think that in the way it foregrounds rhythm and harmony, it makes it easier to play it without it all being completely written down. But this also seems to be why people like to listen to it. It is just so easy to follow.
And then of these transitions, they each have their own distinctive sound, and that is my point in looking at this.
So short of trying to play along with it, I have to look at what is written down.
Hard to get complete sheet music online.
But I find this, and it is written using the key signature for G, which is likely.
The most spicy thing in this is the use of the Bm chord for the start of the vocals. This is why I took note of the song.
Then it could be in G or D, which would stand to reason. And then these guitar tabs I find to be very unreliable. But this one looks good, and it looks to be in G
So they say that "the most graceful transition in western music is tonic to subdominant". And I agree and it is often used and has a most pleasing sound. And there they are always doing that, G -> C.
So then of this Bm, that is diatonic for G, starting on the 3rd, but that is also the augmented 5th.
Look at the cover, do you like this type of art work? Typically it is a fully dressed man, usually in a suit, and usually of a retro style. Then there is a woman wearing little or nothing. But she is not nudist camp nude, she is dolled up, often in high heels and makeup.
Of course some object to such images, usually only slightly altered from photographs. They see it as objectification. But I still like them. And I see the objectification as working both ways.
Maybe the proto for these is Marcel Duchamp's Large Glass, Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors.
About the lead track, usually these songs with a pounding beat are in the key of C. I think it has to do with how it sounds relative to the drum kit.
But how does one tell? Well these songs have a feel to them. Beyond that, just by listening, the vocals are the best guide. But few people can really hear absolute pitch. I listen to this one though, and to me key of C seems likely.
But better comparing to a keyboard instrument. You can play scales, as the tritone ( F - B for the C scale ) is unique. But other wise, playing the dominant, subdominant, and dominant triad will usually help. Then when you think you have got it, try the minor triad on the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th note in the scale. Dim triad on the 7th.
But also, especially with rock music, try the dominant 7 chord. This means flatted for its own scale. So for C it would be G7 = G B D F. And so notice then that this is in the scale for C. But if you play C7 = C E G Bb, this is actually in the scale of F. So you could write it in the key signature of C, with accidentals, and have the melody revolve around C. But one could say that it really is in the Key of F Major, just Mixolydian, revolving around the dominant C.
And then a great deal of blues inspired music uses lots of 7 chords and so it does not strictly stick to any diatonic scale. But most of it does revolve around a clear tonic note and still in some way follow and established scale.
This song always sounds so good. But I feel that it is the extended chord intervals in the melody. If you wanted to make instrumental music like this, would it work? My gut feeling is no, and that if you tried playing the vocal notes on something with fixed tuning that it would not sound nice at all. Just my gut feeling about it. Maybe others know.
I study it some and try singing along with it. The Eb and Db, chromatic notes, have so much to do with how it sounds. Not sure now how it would sound with fixed tuning. Have to find something to try it with and compare it to the vocal version.
Exposes the complete non-sense that most people are taught by music teachers, people who may play well themselves, but don't understand what they are teaching. Anyway, to get extended chords to "lock in", there has to be flexible tuning instead of fixed.
I suspect that you need to have some pitch bending on the Eb and the Db to make it sound right, not strictly temper tuned. I don't actually know this though. It would be pitch bend to get from temper tuned to natural intervals, probably not quit flatted by a full semi-tone. But I don't really have enough experience relating written music to what is heard, or on the theory side to relate natural intervals to scales.
^^^^^^ No one is forcing you to read it gammanu95. Maybe you should consider that before posting.
Here, listening to Celine Dion again, I say she is not dropping anything like a full semi-tone, to the Eb and Db. So basically it sounds interesting because it is minor mode, but also because it has these flex pitches. So maybe Coltrane can do a good job with his saxophone, but it you tried to play the vocal melody with a fixed tuning keyboard instrument it would not work very well.
Now notice that these Eb and Db are notated as being sung over G. and Edim chords
G(dot) = G aug, I guess. = G B D#, by their guitar tab = D# G B G. Okay. Don't know how this would really sound if you played he guitar music. But that curious Eb, then is D#. But on the Eb they don't really drop down that far. Leaves it an unfinished quality.
And Coltrane doesn't drop that far, if much at all. Not really playing what is written, playing just a small pitch bend down.
Then the Edim = E G Bb where as E = E G# B What their Edim guitar tab sounds is E A# C# G So I don't know where the C# comes from, unless that is from the 7th note, D, being flatted. But this is played with the Db, or C# note.
So if you really played the guitar cords with the vocals as sung or the saxophone as played, it would not quite reach down to that Eb and Db. So this is what makes it sound so curious. Could not really play it with fixed pitch.
At interest here are the Eb and Db on the twice used word 'far'.
My point is that they are not really following the written pitch, and that the two notes in question are quite sharp. Where this would be a problem is if you tried to play the melody on a fixed pitch keyboard instrument. Using fixed pitch it would not sound good.
So the first is being played over Em, which seems to be the tonic chord, = E G B, diotonic, then they drop from E to Eb.
Second played over Em7, = E G B D, but then the written music drops to Db.
Of course following Gerald Eskelin, this kind of stuff is fine. But this is just one of the more extreme common examples.
Yes, this sounds like it was good, abstinence from alcohol and tobacco. But some of it also did become part of the Nazi Party. And this sort of thing, fascist and racial supremacy in back to nature movements, is still going on in Germany today. And this is there in the origins of FKK too.
Uses G Major Key Signature. As expected, uses pickup notes. In this piano adaptation, LH splits into two parts. Also as expected, at least for this first page, entirely diatonic.
Well some of the singing is over Em, so it seems that they want it to be heard as minor mode.
I think about it, how would I want to flaunt a beautiful girl? In front of who? Restaurant staff? Not getting any clear pictures of that.
Nature Boy - Easy piano lesson (Part 1) youtube.com
Okay, this guy plays literally what is written, and on a piano.
So E -> Eb D-> Db. So I might have to re-evaluate some of the vocalists.
But this guy makes big adjustments, more like his is accompanying a vocalist, rather than playing the melody.
'Nature Boy' - jazz piano tutorial youtube.com
Okay, these guys keep the melody on the guitar, and he doesn't play exactly as written
Nature Boy - guitar & piano Jazz cover youtube.com
So both times its 'very far', and the first time it is B -> E -> Eb
Second time B -> D -> Db
So going from B to E is 5 semitones, ie a 4th. That's those sus chords or the Whole Tone Scale. Such sounds unresolved. Droping down to Eb, though chromatic, is a major 3rd, and so it sounds resolved.
Second time, going from B to D is 3 semitones, a minor third, and over a dim chord, probably with flatted 7th. Dropping down to Db, makes it two semitones, a second. Again, chromatic, but relative to a B scale it is the Leading Tone.
So Dion is moslty skipping the E and D.
I would like to be able to understand music by hearing and reading, so that playing never has to be mechanical.
Ibanez SRAS7, 7 strings, the lowest 3 are fret-less. Looks like they must be looser, by the tuning and their thicknesses. The lowest is 7A. I believe that would be the 32' octave's A, the lowest note on an 88 key piano, 27.5 hz.
Sheet Music, page 1, written by Jimmy Webb
en.wikipedia.org
yes, think most people know him from MacArthur Park
So written using the F major key signature, and seeming to revolve around F. But also making ample use of C cadence notes, that being the dominant.
So the tritone would be between Bb and E. If you let people hear that, then they know what scale you are using.
Not sure that this actually does this, it makes good use of Bb, but not E.
So if it is in F, then the subdominant is Bb and the dominant is C.
Looks like it kind of starts revolving around C, meaning it starts as Mixolydian. Very common.
Then it does go to a B natural note.
So kind of like going to C, but then it has F #, kind of like going to G.
So then to consider Guitar Tabs, we will have diatonic major triads for the Key of F at F, Bb, and C, and then diatonic minor triads on G, A, and D, and then the dim triad on E.
There are newer books about this subject, but if this one was handy I would certainly go thru it, make sure there was nothing I was ignorant of.
I believe 12-tone systems makes music processing software.

King Crimson awesome and long play list youtube.com
35 years ago I used to listen to this album all the time. Today, after having listened to lots more music, this does not have that much of an appeal for me anymore.
Above book is good, has lots of stuff. Might be most for people who want to write jingles. Not sure. But I've examined it enough to know that it is good.
Lots of music theory books, they lead you to the right answers, but they do it more through adages than through actual understanding. But Mark Harrison's stuff is good.
This should be in the Key of D, and they seem to play the tonic note a great deal on the bass youtube.com
Using the Key of D, I would say, is a signature feature of this group. They might be using the relative minor. But anyway, with a standard tuning 4 string bass, the lowest they have is D of the 8' octave. This is why the bass sounds kind of hollow.
D, at least in rock music sounds etherial, one of the most distinctive of the commonly used keys ( A, E, G, C, D, and occasionally F )
Seems to revolve around A, being thus in the Key of A. Likely for the type of song it is.
A has F#, C#, G#.
So using the G chord means it is Mixolydian, using the flat 7 chords
So A triad: A C# E
F#minor F# A C# diatonic in A
G triad G B D requires the flatted 7th in A
E triad E G# B diatonic in A, the dominant triad
B minor B D F# Diatonic in A, used only in chorus, like a bridge
So F#m is just a little diatonic variation on A, still uses the note A.
^^^^^^^ Also, F# is the relative minor of A. So besides F#m being diatonic in A, using it in small amounts throughout just adds a bit of spice to it. They even end on that right after A.
( Would not want to be using F#M, especially on a keyboard instrument, not unless there were no other way. )
I still think there is some special tuning to make this music sound East Indian. Though I don't know the details of it.
This guy seems to have it figured out: youtube.com
And it is used in Dmajor, but more in Dminor. So D is the relative minor of F major.
And F major has B flatted. So then all of the chords are diatonic in F major, with the one exception of when they are using the D major triad.
Do for D, the 4th up, or subdominant is G, and they do use this some and it is the very gentle transition which you would expect.
The Dominant or 5th up is A, and it is just used in the chorus, and it sounds how one would expect. The chorus is where they seem to change to D Major.
They still use Bb in this. Seems to work. They don't try to be mixolydian by using C natural.

I had made a xerox copy of She's More To Be Pitied Than Censored
I had never heard of it before, and I thought it humorous, and so I was playing it for myself.
I showed the printed music to this guy who was a life long organ player. He was also an unbelievably good site singer. He just looked at it and then sang it to me. I was really surprised at how good he was, and given the curious melody.
Uses E, G, G#, A, A#, C chords. Note that these are all major triads, chords with just 3 notes. The G# and the A# chord would not usually be used in rock music.
Most slow rock songs are in E Major.
Look like the lyrics are in E Major, but the chorus is in G.
A# and G# are just one semitone uppers.
But C is the dominant for G, and A is the supertonic for G.
To me this just sounds like the standard 5 note chord, 1st, 3rd, 5th, Flat 7th, and 9th.
I don't thinks she is playing minor 3rds, or minor or augmented 5ths. That the 7th is flatted is standard, and to me this just seems to mean that the music is mixolydian. So it revolves around a tonic note, but it is actually using the major scale of the note a 4th up.
So C9 = C E G Bb D
Its a pretty spicy chord. But notice that it is diatonic in F, not in C. So if you write it with the key signature of F Major, then you can say that it revolves around the note a 5th up, C. This is mixolydian.
I think if you just play C E G D, then that is called C add9. I believe that this is the "Steely Dan Chord", also called Mu Major. They used that instead of C9, because C9 makes it fully jazz.
This is my understanding.
Try it, like on a keyboard or acoustic piano.
I know that Blues uses the 4 note chords, and jazz uses 5 notes.
I've seen transcription sheet music for Billy Stayhorn's Take the A Train. Ellington used to sort of use the piano to conduct. In the beginning he imitates the sound of a bell, by coming down on a C9 chord. But it is understood that it is okay to leave some of the non-essential notes out, and to do inversions. So 3 octaves up from middle-c he is paying Bb C D.
And this jibes completely with what I was saying about Steely Dan.

As far as nudity in advertising, non-Adult Venues, or just in public, well people have been doing it. See what happens. On websites I see cover nothing bikini's.
But E minor has a relative major in G major, which has only F sharped.
So just play E F# G A
just type "E5TY", and try doing it quickly.
I know there is ambiguity in the upper end of minor mode scales, but just go with that RM G major, only F# and play an entire scale and maybe two octaves worth.
They want you to hear the E F# sharp interval of minor third right off.
Because this never goes beyond 3 note chords, there are less chomatic notes than their might be.
Em = E G B ( uses G major scale)
C = C E G
B = B D# F#
D = D F# A
A = A C# E
G = G B D
So the Em scale has F# and they never use Fnat.
So the chromatic notes in the chords are D#, C#
And in E major, C and D would normally be sharp. In E minor though they would not be used. But sometimes alterations are made to minor scales. Also they are getting these out of the A and B major triads. Well these are on E's subdominant and dominant.
But if you wanted them to be minor triad you would have to use Cnat and Dnat. So this isn't intended to be minor mode. It's just that they started of with that Em chord and with that Em scale, letting you hear the minor third right off.
I listen to this again, while reading the guitar chords, though not trying to play along.
If you just say it is Gmaj, then you have C and D as subdominant and dominant.
They don't intend that. E is intended as the tonic note. And that they are using the Emin scale and chord is only broken by the A and B chord intorducing C# and D# which are not Emin by they are Emaj and Gmaj.

What he needs is an old fashioned theatre organ. Then he could do much of it in real time, instead of by over dubbing.

Unfortunately the modern digital midi keyboard equipment is not a good replacement for the old theater organs. Not yet anyway.

See, this is one guy playing in real time:

You can see that his is using the thumb piston presets to change which stops are set.
The current types of digital keyboards are not well designed to take the place of theater organs, not yet.

But because pipe organs, and most organs, use fixed tuning, symphonic music will sound quite dissonant when played on them:

As opposed to if you let an orchestra play it:

ELP's largely keyboard fixed tuning adaptation, quite dissonant
youtube.com
But in many places they are working around these fixed tuning limitations by making it more percussive and staccato.
In perfect 12 tone temper tuning, each 1/2 step up is up by 12th root of 2.
But with flexible tuning instruments the notation as never been taken to convey this. Rather, tuning is contextual.
Ref the excellent:
amazon.com
With perfect temper tuning, the 5th is very close to a natural interval. But the 3rd and 4th are quite a ways off. Were it not for the near ideal 5th, temper tuning would likely not have been adopted. And then in say the Blues, the 3rd and 7th are being bent. So that genre developed because of the limits in temper tuning.
Most keyboard music is written and arranged to evade and downplay these limitations. Comping, staccato, etc.
And then with acoustic pianos it goes even further. As these have intermodulation through the sound board, you can't tune them perfect temper, or they will be unplayable. So they are tuned by heard 5ths and 4ths, and by octave stretching. It is a compromise, and I am sure that it works better in some keys than in others.

I'm not seeing that they offer 32 pedal though, the accepted standard for classical and church organs. They only seem to have 25 pedal, as is common with theater organs. In my view, with as large as their consoles are, you might as well have 32 pedals.
Wersi is doing real good. I think when they started back in the 1970's they also offered a kit version.

Look at the big boxes. Those should be speaker cabinets, particularly for the pedal manual. This probably goes down to the 32' rank. This would be one C note lower than an 88 key piano. Just a bit above 16hz with 440hz A tuning.

Assuming that for a rock band you will have drums, bass, and vocals.
Then is it best to have:
I know that some of these groups have people play different things at some times, but I'm just relating what they usually do. And I know that Clapton often has two keyboard players, and that the Rolling Stones started without a regular keyboard player.

Pipe organ aficionados always argue that the Hammond Tone Wheel Organs are all flute pipe sounds, not the others like diapason, strings, or reeds.
en.wikipedia.org
My own view is that tone wheel and draw bar organs are something of the past, and that you can do better with digital today. And also, the Hammonds were not that bad.
So for a rock back with Drums and Bass, do you think it better to have two guitars or one guitar and a keyboard?
My own view is that Hammond diapason sound is very much like an electric guitar overdriving a push pull and transformer coupled amplifier into soft even harmonic distortion. I think it sounds neat.
And so then the organ and the guitar can well compliment each other, while at the same time being different enough to give greater versatility and be easily distinguished.

She is partitioning manuals into multiple divisions. She does this of course with her drum fanfare, but she does it other places too.
Such an organ can change everything you want, just by pressing one preset.
This is part of how she does so much with only two manuals, whereas classical organist Cameron Carpenter seems to like to have 5.

At the heart of the Rose Center for Earth and Space is an 87-foot-diameter sphere that appears to float inside a glass cube. Its upper half constitutes the Hayden Planetarium, which opened in 2000 along with the Rose Center for Earth and Space. It remains an enduring beacon of astrophysical education, as was its predecessor, which opened in 1935.
The 429-seat Space Theater, which features a custom-made Zeiss Mark IX Star Projector and a Digital Dome Projection System to display a hyperrealistic view of the planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies, uses a scientifically accurate 3D map of the observable universe based on millions of astronomical observations. Known as the Digital Universe Atlas, this map of the cosmos is maintained by a team of Museum scientists and visualization experts in collaboration with colleagues from organizations such as NASA. The Digital Universe Atlas also provides the foundation for the Museum’s Space Shows, which are screened in the Space Theater.

Rainer Maria - Catastrophe
youtube.com
Usually songs like this, with the pounding rhythm, are in the key of C. And just to my ear it sounds so, testing by singing little piano songs I am familiar with.
Now I've never known why this is. I presume it is because of how the percussion is tuned. Musicians insist that it is not tuned to any specific pitch, but just until it sounds good. But just by listening to lots of music, you can see that it is tuned, just like tympani are tuned.
So without something handy to compare it to, I look for sheet music and I find this guitar tab version.
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Now I find it very unlikely that they are playing these sharped cords as written, and fingering them as indicated in the roll overs. Even though guitar chords are clumsy on keyboards, one could still make the comparison and see which notes are in and out. To make keyboard music sound just like guitar music you do have to play it exactly the same way.
And then the Bbm instead of Am.
Most likely it is just C, F, G chords. And they have just tuned one semi-tone up from what ever they consider standards. All the more so as it is all guitar music.
But there would be others here with better experience on which to appraise this.

San Jose's Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, has a small planetarium. It is what this company calls "Sky Theater". I would say its diameter is about 40'. All the people face mostly the same direction, and there is a step rise to the seating. So besides the dome, they also use it to show video material in just that front direction, even extending below the rim of the hemisphere.

So we have a chord progression
Fdim7
Cmaj7
G9
Fm
Cmaj7
G9
Though it probably ends on Cmaj7 and the note C
So the dim chord is like playing B D F, its the monster chasing the girl, and in movies girls always run up staircases.
So Fdim = F Ab B, and note that F B is the tritone. Though not all of the notes are diatonic ( in the scale ) the F B tritone should make listeners feel that this is to use the C maj scale.
Fdim7 = F Ab B Eb, that is it should be a flatted 7th
but in the RH part they write D F Ab B ???
Cmaj7 = C E G B
so they use that, plus some non-harmonic D. But this helps it get to G9
G9 = G B D F A Notice since G is the Dominant, that the flatted 7th is still diatonic.
Fm = F Ab C This should be softer than Fdim, as there is no tritone ( flatted 5th, 6 semitones step )
But then this goes easily to Cmaj7, and then G9
The only way to get a white note augmented 5th is E - C. And they get that when they make E the second cadence note, over Cmaj7, and C sounding in the LH part.
And it does seem like it ends on C and Cmaj7.
I knew a life long organ player who you could just hand sheet music too and he could sing it perfectly, including things which didn't seem to follow any harmony rules.
He said, "So does it sound like ...?"
And I was flabergasted and said, " ... y-e-s ..."
He just chuckled and told me about a college class he was in where the instructor would just hand him music to sing, when he wanted the class to know what it sounded like.
SJG
PS according to this, Fdim7 has a double flatted E, = D.
chord-c.com
Don't know about this dim7.
Also, I guess you can also get the white note Augmented 5th / Major 3rd in F - A and in G -B.

Rockstar, actually I had always noticed that Cheap Trick's music had an unusual sound. But I never thought about why that would be so. Remembering it now, yes it could be diminished chords.
I never really cared for them though, as they struck me as posers. But I will try to examine some of their songs. Just by listening, I cannot at this point tell for sure what they are doing. It would have to be by trying to play along with them. Then I could figure it out. Otherwise it has to be by looking at written music, standard or guitar tabs.
This really leaves me ROTFLMFAO. I did not fully appreciate it when it originally was airing.

Gmaj7 = G B D F#
but G7 means the 7th is flatted.
G7 = G B D F
so it is not diatonic in G Maj
Rather it is diatonic in C Maj, a fifth down. B - F is a tritone in C Maj, and C Maj is the only key it is diatonic for.
So the G7 chord wants to resolve to a Cmaj7 chord.
en.wikipedia.org, as they show this is flatted on the 3rd and 7th.

Joan Jett - Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah) - 1984
youtube.com
Usually these kinds of songs with such a pounding rhythm are in the Key of C.
I don't have anything handy by which to confirm this by listening or playing along.
Lets see what I can find online:
sheetmusicplus.com
I am finding this as inconclusive. Most of the standard sheet music offerings cost money. It could be C, but it could be G. And then some of these online guitar tabs are strange. I think they are generated by using digital signal processing on the recording. They use uncommon chord roots, like F#. And probably this is because the DSP is done assuming one tuning, but the recording was made 1/2 step lower. So it is unrealistic because no one would use that method of playing it.
To know, I think one would have to actually play along with them, and using their tuning.

Because of the hard surfaces of the chamber and the room below, as well as the open grill permitting the sound to travel unhindered to the 2500-seat room below, the sound of the organ is tremendous.

World Party - Put the Message in the Box - original CD version
youtube.com
What I had read once was that most popular music is characterized by a serious of harmony changes, the very subtle mode changes, and temporary key changes. And this does seem to be true.
And I think that in the way it foregrounds rhythm and harmony, it makes it easier to play it without it all being completely written down. But this also seems to be why people like to listen to it. It is just so easy to follow.
And then of these transitions, they each have their own distinctive sound, and that is my point in looking at this.
So short of trying to play along with it, I have to look at what is written down.
Hard to get complete sheet music online.
But I find this, and it is written using the key signature for G, which is likely.
musicnotes.com
Then I also find this:
s3.amazonaws.com
The most spicy thing in this is the use of the Bm chord for the start of the vocals. This is why I took note of the song.
Then it could be in G or D, which would stand to reason. And then these guitar tabs I find to be very unreliable. But this one looks good, and it looks to be in G
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com
So they say that "the most graceful transition in western music is tonic to subdominant". And I agree and it is often used and has a most pleasing sound. And there they are always doing that, G -> C.
So then of this Bm, that is diatonic for G, starting on the 3rd, but that is also the augmented 5th.
By listening and studying one's ear develops.

^^^^^ also uses Cadd9. Sometimes they say add2, but I believe add9 is technically correct. Now their can be inversions. It can be played C D E G.
And this is the same as what is called Mu Major, or the Steely Dan Chord.

Look at the cover, do you like this type of art work? Typically it is a fully dressed man, usually in a suit, and usually of a retro style. Then there is a woman wearing little or nothing. But she is not nudist camp nude, she is dolled up, often in high heels and makeup.
Of course some object to such images, usually only slightly altered from photographs. They see it as objectification. But I still like them. And I see the objectification as working both ways.
Maybe the proto for these is Marcel Duchamp's Large Glass, Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors.
en.wikipedia.org
1915 - 23
About the lead track, usually these songs with a pounding beat are in the key of C. I think it has to do with how it sounds relative to the drum kit.
But how does one tell? Well these songs have a feel to them. Beyond that, just by listening, the vocals are the best guide. But few people can really hear absolute pitch. I listen to this one though, and to me key of C seems likely.
But better comparing to a keyboard instrument. You can play scales, as the tritone ( F - B for the C scale ) is unique. But other wise, playing the dominant, subdominant, and dominant triad will usually help. Then when you think you have got it, try the minor triad on the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th note in the scale. Dim triad on the 7th.
But also, especially with rock music, try the dominant 7 chord. This means flatted for its own scale. So for C it would be G7 = G B D F. And so notice then that this is in the scale for C. But if you play C7 = C E G Bb, this is actually in the scale of F. So you could write it in the key signature of C, with accidentals, and have the melody revolve around C. But one could say that it really is in the Key of F Major, just Mixolydian, revolving around the dominant C.
And then a great deal of blues inspired music uses lots of 7 chords and so it does not strictly stick to any diatonic scale. But most of it does revolve around a clear tonic note and still in some way follow and established scale.

This song always sounds so good. But I feel that it is the extended chord intervals in the melody. If you wanted to make instrumental music like this, would it work? My gut feeling is no, and that if you tried playing the vocal notes on something with fixed tuning that it would not sound nice at all. Just my gut feeling about it. Maybe others know.
Here, I find this:

I study it some and try singing along with it. The Eb and Db, chromatic notes, have so much to do with how it sounds. Not sure now how it would sound with fixed tuning. Have to find something to try it with and compare it to the vocal version.

I suspect that you need to have some pitch bending on the Eb and the Db to make it sound right, not strictly temper tuned. I don't actually know this though. It would be pitch bend to get from temper tuned to natural intervals, probably not quit flatted by a full semi-tone. But I don't really have enough experience relating written music to what is heard, or on the theory side to relate natural intervals to scales.

Uses G major key signature, but I suspect it is intended to be heard as E minor. So using Eb and Db will change it a great deal.

Here, listening to Celine Dion again, I say she is not dropping anything like a full semi-tone, to the Eb and Db. So basically it sounds interesting because it is minor mode, but also because it has these flex pitches. So maybe Coltrane can do a good job with his saxophone, but it you tried to play the vocal melody with a fixed tuning keyboard instrument it would not work very well.

G(dot) = G aug, I guess. = G B D#, by their guitar tab = D# G B G. Okay. Don't know how this would really sound if you played he guitar music. But that curious Eb, then is D#. But on the Eb they don't really drop down that far. Leaves it an unfinished quality.
And Coltrane doesn't drop that far, if much at all. Not really playing what is written, playing just a small pitch bend down.
Then the Edim = E G Bb where as E = E G# B What their Edim guitar tab sounds is E A# C# G So I don't know where the C# comes from, unless that is from the 7th note, D, being flatted. But this is played with the Db, or C# note.
So if you really played the guitar cords with the vocals as sung or the saxophone as played, it would not quite reach down to that Eb and Db. So this is what makes it sound so curious. Could not really play it with fixed pitch.

At interest here are the Eb and Db on the twice used word 'far'.
My point is that they are not really following the written pitch, and that the two notes in question are quite sharp. Where this would be a problem is if you tried to play the melody on a fixed pitch keyboard instrument. Using fixed pitch it would not sound good.
So the first is being played over Em, which seems to be the tonic chord, = E G B, diotonic, then they drop from E to Eb.
Second played over Em7, = E G B D, but then the written music drops to Db.
Of course following Gerald Eskelin, this kind of stuff is fine. But this is just one of the more extreme common examples.

Uses G Major Key Signature. As expected, uses pickup notes. In this piano adaptation, LH splits into two parts. Also as expected, at least for this first page, entirely diatonic.
Well some of the singing is over Em, so it seems that they want it to be heard as minor mode.
I think about it, how would I want to flaunt a beautiful girl? In front of who? Restaurant staff? Not getting any clear pictures of that.

Nature Boy - Easy piano lesson (Part 1)
youtube.com
Okay, this guy plays literally what is written, and on a piano.
So E -> Eb D-> Db. So I might have to re-evaluate some of the vocalists.
But this guy makes big adjustments, more like his is accompanying a vocalist, rather than playing the melody.

Celine Dion sings
youtube.com
So both times its 'very far', and the first time it is B -> E -> Eb
Second time B -> D -> Db
So going from B to E is 5 semitones, ie a 4th. That's those sus chords or the Whole Tone Scale. Such sounds unresolved. Droping down to Eb, though chromatic, is a major 3rd, and so it sounds resolved.
Second time, going from B to D is 3 semitones, a minor third, and over a dim chord, probably with flatted 7th. Dropping down to Db, makes it two semitones, a second. Again, chromatic, but relative to a B scale it is the Leading Tone.
So Dion is moslty skipping the E and D.
I would like to be able to understand music by hearing and reading, so that playing never has to be mechanical.

Ibanez 7 String Basses

Fender Bass VI
en.wikipedia.org
Ibanez SRAS7, 7 strings, the lowest 3 are fret-less. Looks like they must be looser, by the tuning and their thicknesses. The lowest is 7A. I believe that would be the 32' octave's A, the lowest note on an 88 key piano, 27.5 hz.
Sheet Music, page 1, written by Jimmy Webb
en.wikipedia.org
yes, think most people know him from MacArthur Park
So written using the F major key signature, and seeming to revolve around F. But also making ample use of C cadence notes, that being the dominant.
So the tritone would be between Bb and E. If you let people hear that, then they know what scale you are using.
Not sure that this actually does this, it makes good use of Bb, but not E.
So if it is in F, then the subdominant is Bb and the dominant is C.
Looks like it kind of starts revolving around C, meaning it starts as Mixolydian. Very common.
Then it does go to a B natural note.
So kind of like going to C, but then it has F #, kind of like going to G.
So then to consider Guitar Tabs, we will have diatonic major triads for the Key of F at F, Bb, and C, and then diatonic minor triads on G, A, and D, and then the dim triad on E.
e-chords.com
They say the key is Gm7. Don't know how that could be a key. Gm7 = G Bb D F, all consistent with F major.
Oh well, it seems to make sense.

This should be in the Key of D, and they seem to play the tonic note a great deal on the bass
youtube.com
Using the Key of D, I would say, is a signature feature of this group. They might be using the relative minor. But anyway, with a standard tuning 4 string bass, the lowest they have is D of the 8' octave. This is why the bass sounds kind of hollow.
D, at least in rock music sounds etherial, one of the most distinctive of the commonly used keys ( A, E, G, C, D, and occasionally F )

Uses G, F#m, A, E, Bm
Seems to revolve around A, being thus in the Key of A. Likely for the type of song it is.
A has F#, C#, G#.
So using the G chord means it is Mixolydian, using the flat 7 chords
So A triad: A C# E
F#minor F# A C# diatonic in A
G triad G B D requires the flatted 7th in A
E triad E G# B diatonic in A, the dominant triad
B minor B D F# Diatonic in A, used only in chorus, like a bridge
So F#m is just a little diatonic variation on A, still uses the note A.
Using G is okay, that G is the flatted 7th of A.
SJG
Log in to vote
Actually quite straight forward, almost all diatonic except for the G, and that being the flat 7th of A.
SJG
Log in to vote
^^^^^^^ Also, F# is the relative minor of A. So besides F#m being diatonic in A, using it in small amounts throughout just adds a bit of spice to it. They even end on that right after A.
( Would not want to be using F#M, especially on a keyboard instrument, not unless there were no other way. )
I still think there is some special tuning to make this music sound East Indian. Though I don't know the details of it.

Used chords
Dm
G
Bb
D
F
G
A
It would seem that the tonic note is D
And it is used in Dmajor, but more in Dminor. So D is the relative minor of F major.
And F major has B flatted. So then all of the chords are diatonic in F major, with the one exception of when they are using the D major triad.
Do for D, the 4th up, or subdominant is G, and they do use this some and it is the very gentle transition which you would expect.
The Dominant or 5th up is A, and it is just used in the chorus, and it sounds how one would expect. The chorus is where they seem to change to D Major.
They still use Bb in this. Seems to work. They don't try to be mixolydian by using C natural.

I had never heard of it before, and I thought it humorous, and so I was playing it for myself.
I showed the printed music to this guy who was a life long organ player. He was also an unbelievably good site singer. He just looked at it and then sang it to me. I was really surprised at how good he was, and given the curious melody.

This is a guy who knows more than three chords:
Lenny Kravitz-Let Love Rule

tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Let Love Rule
Lenny Kravits
Uses E, G, G#, A, A#, C chords. Note that these are all major triads, chords with just 3 notes. The G# and the A# chord would not usually be used in rock music.
Most slow rock songs are in E Major.
Look like the lyrics are in E Major, but the chorus is in G.
A# and G# are just one semitone uppers.
But C is the dominant for G, and A is the supertonic for G.
It all sounds real neat. This guy is good.

Joni Mitchell - Amelia

To me this just sounds like the standard 5 note chord, 1st, 3rd, 5th, Flat 7th, and 9th.
I don't thinks she is playing minor 3rds, or minor or augmented 5ths. That the 7th is flatted is standard, and to me this just seems to mean that the music is mixolydian. So it revolves around a tonic note, but it is actually using the major scale of the note a 4th up.
So C9 = C E G Bb D
Its a pretty spicy chord. But notice that it is diatonic in F, not in C. So if you write it with the key signature of F Major, then you can say that it revolves around the note a 5th up, C. This is mixolydian.
I think if you just play C E G D, then that is called C add9. I believe that this is the "Steely Dan Chord", also called Mu Major. They used that instead of C9, because C9 makes it fully jazz.
This is my understanding.
Try it, like on a keyboard or acoustic piano.
I know that Blues uses the 4 note chords, and jazz uses 5 notes.
I've seen transcription sheet music for Billy Stayhorn's Take the A Train. Ellington used to sort of use the piano to conduct. In the beginning he imitates the sound of a bell, by coming down on a C9 chord. But it is understood that it is okay to leave some of the non-essential notes out, and to do inversions. So 3 octaves up from middle-c he is paying Bb C D.

And this jibes completely with what I was saying about Steely Dan.

Steely Dan, similar harmony but not the same. And omitting that flatted 7th means that it does not have to be mixolydian.

She plays a 4 note keyboard sequence in the beginning, seemingly for vocal pitch.
So that would be Do Re Mi Fa.
So on C that would be C D E F.
Intervals Whole Whole Half.
But this seems to be minor mode, so C D Eb F
Whole, Half, Whole.
But then this does not seem to be on C. Seems to be on E, the E minor scale.
Everyone can hear relative pitch, but very few can hear absolute pitch. So you have to have something handy to play along with them.
Look what I found:
onlinepianist.com
So E major scale has 4 sharps.
But E minor has a relative major in G major, which has only F sharped.
So just play E F# G A
just type "E5TY", and try doing it quickly.
I know there is ambiguity in the upper end of minor mode scales, but just go with that RM G major, only F# and play an entire scale and maybe two octaves worth.
They want you to hear the E F# sharp interval of minor third right off.

So I've got the Eminor scale and those for pitch notes.
youtube.com
So what about the actual chords in the tabs?
Em = E G B ( uses G major scale)
C = C E G
B = B D# F#
So I should be able to follow the chord progression
onlinepianist.com
D = D F# A
A = A C# E
G = G B D
So I should be able to follow the chord progression
onlinepianist.com
Yeah, seems right to me.
Lots of notes connecting from one chord to the next in the progression.

Never goes beyond 3 note chords.
Sharp keys
G F#
D F# C#
A F# C# G#
E F# C# G# D#
B F# C# G# D# A#
Only sounds the Minor Triad in the Em chord. Seems to be the tonic chord, but otherwise it never uses a minor triad.

Chromatism: So using the Eminor scale, they never use Fnat.
BUt F# would be the only sharp.
They do use C# and D# sharp, but its just a certain places in the chord progression.
Now as for a melody chromatism, in popular music that is not that important.

Going to play along with this again, from the 4 pitch notes, E F# G A, through the chord progression.
onlinepianist.com
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Because this never goes beyond 3 note chords, there are less chomatic notes than their might be.
Em = E G B ( uses G major scale)
C = C E G
B = B D# F#
D = D F# A
A = A C# E
G = G B D
So the Em scale has F# and they never use Fnat.
So the chromatic notes in the chords are D#, C#
And in E major, C and D would normally be sharp. In E minor though they would not be used. But sometimes alterations are made to minor scales. Also they are getting these out of the A and B major triads. Well these are on E's subdominant and dominant.
But if you wanted them to be minor triad you would have to use Cnat and Dnat. So this isn't intended to be minor mode. It's just that they started of with that Em chord and with that Em scale, letting you hear the minor third right off.

I listen to this again, while reading the guitar chords, though not trying to play along.
If you just say it is Gmaj, then you have C and D as subdominant and dominant.
They don't intend that. E is intended as the tonic note. And that they are using the Emin scale and chord is only broken by the A and B chord intorducing C# and D# which are not Emin by they are Emaj and Gmaj.

So again following the guitar tabs
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Think of this as being on G maj scale, which is the same as E min.
You get a couple accidentals through the chords, but only using the first 3 notes, not the entire scale these chords come from.
So you get C# and D# from the A and B chords. These would be there is you were using E maj instead of E min.
Yeah, this pattern of accidentals just make it a little more spicy, not diatonic.
