The history of the Hammond Auto Vari 64
Since they’ve already laid it out, I’ll borrow this text from vintagesynth.com: “Hammond worked with Ace Electronics to create several rhythm machines meant to work in tandem with their organs, so it is no coincidence the sounds are very similar. There are sixteen preset rhythms, with four variations each, for the 64 namesake beat patterns. The large case was meant to sit on top of the home spinet organs of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and there is even a Plexiglas panel on the top of the 64 to act as a sheet music stand when it is sitting on top of the organ.”
Hope you’ll enjoy and have fun with this drum sample pack! If you have questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
