With how abundant and cheap these little tube synths are, I'm surprised that nobody has experimented with modifications. ADSR, filter, etc.
Has anyone here messed around with one?

Re: Hammond S6 mods?
Synth???? The S6 is a chord organ 
OK, it is electronic rather than reed based like most chord organs.
Are you referring to the claim that the "solo voice" circuits are based on the Solovox?

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Re: Hammond S6 mods?
Have to admit I had never heard of the Hammond S6 before I saw this post. I'm curious about how that chord matrix works. I wonder if it would be possible to MIDIfy it.
Switches, knobs, buttons, LEDs, LCD screens, monitors, keys, mice, jacks, sockets. Now two joysticks!

Re: Hammond S6 mods?
Our S6 gets a lot of use. Not the chord buttons, but the keyboard sounds. It's warm, charming, and interesting. It has a limited range of tone and envelope variations, but what is available is very nice, and quite useful. Quite unlike any other instruments that we have here at the studio.
