I'll attempt to answer the original query in a Csound context: You can easily design a GEN table such as the following: f1 0 8192 10 1 0 .9 0 0 .7 0 0 0 .4 0 0 0 0 .01 that will make a somewhat organ-ish sound. And yes indeed, it can be triggered via MIDI for realtime performance. However, if you're going the Csound route I suggest taking a look at Josep Comajuncosas' DirectHammond CSD file. It's a realtime instrument with an FLTK interface, you can check it out at Josep's site at csounds.com: http://www.csounds.com/jmc/index.htm Lots of interesting stuff there. Note that Josep writes his instruments for Gabriel Maldonado's DirectCsound, a version of Csound for Windows, but they can usually be adapted to work with either canonical Csound or the Varga versions. You might also want to check out Horgand: http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/soudfontcombi/horgand.html which also requires FLTK but is a standalone instrument, i.e. it does not require Csound or any other synthesis app. It's also JACK-aware, a nice touch.
