first of all, i am quite a noob when it comes to Max.

i am trying to recreate a B3 Hammond organ for a final project for a class, and it was recommended that I create some type of overdrive in order to create positive distortion. apart from stashing this in a poly~, i don't really know where to start. i've attached the patch i'm working on below.

which sum were you referring to? (i assume that you mean that I should add the distortion to the main patcher, not the ADD patch.

the sum of the individual voices, yes. (and they are summed at the poly outlet...)

unless i am completely desorientated a hammond organ just has a tube preamp at the main out, and nothing which should be replicated per voice.

btw, for a simple tube preamp distortion effect you should experiment a bit with the [tanh~] object (in conjuntion with gain changes of its input) it gets you much closer to a preamp than the overdrive object.
