Not speaking for TT here, this is just my personal observation, but I don’t think it fits well with their sampling key sets.

The hammond sound is a combination of the drawbars and the rotary cab. This is an incredible number of combinations of settings, and some of the sound and feel is in being able to change thigs during the performance. I think this is why the instrument tends to lend itself to modelling rather than sampling.

I’d love to see them do it justice, but I think it would need to come with a few GB of sounds, and it would also need rather more plugin parameter access or MIDI control than any of the EZK libraries so far. Hammond is just a different animal.

If you look at the best emulations, they come equipped with drawbar controller set compatibility -you can buy physical drawbar controllers that will control the plugin setting changes as you play…

You can use other software to turn audio into MIDI, but the results will depend upon how much time and how good the tools are you have/ can afford. I guess if it’s just for note/chord recognition and part generation, then you don’t have to go too far on it.

I’ve just recorded myself whistling (very badly) into REAPER and plonked an instance of its included ReaTune plugin on the track. I told it to output MIDI on pitch change and saved the MIDI to a second track. Played back through a soft synth it sounds remarkably as bad as me

Now I know it’s only monophonic (but so is a flute), and it doesn’t interpret volume to MIDI velocity, but this is from shareware tools that don’t cost anything to download and a time spent of less than five minutes. I think you’d need Melodyne for polyphonic sounds (chords) and I think it will try and interpret the levels, but it would owe you £300-400 if you didn’t have (access to) it already.

-Just an idea…
