Using Modulate Wheel to Change leslie effect

Postby cbridg » Sun Apr 04, 2010 11:58 pm

I have 2 different presets one with a hammond B3 sample without the leslie spinning, and a second present with the leslie spinning. I have a B3 sample from the E-mu sample disc which changes from rotating to non-rotating when the modulation wheel is turned. It sounds like 2 different samples in which when the modulation wheel is turned it switches between 2 different samples. Does anyone know how this is done?

Just press "Edit" and look deep inside the Preset-Parameters.

I have a nice set of Keith Emerson Hammond samples I use in this way.

* Firstly you need to identify the two presets for the slow and the fast Leslie setting and get them sounding as you want them to sound.

* If you're lucky, each of these presets contains only one voice - if so, you can skip this stage. RTXFade xfades between voices, so it works best here if you have a 'slow' voice and a 'fast' voice so we need to make sure our voices are organised properly. Make a backup of the original presets first!!! In each of your presets, import all of the samples into a single voice (page 310 of the EOS 4.0 manual). Make sure your presets still sound OK after the import - play every key and check back against the originals (I did say make a backup!). You might have to do a little fiddling here as the original programmer may have accounted for differences in the samples at the voice level.

* Make your new XFade preset, and copy the 'fast' voice and the 'slow' voice into it (Copy voice, page 305).

* Go to the 'voices - realtime window' in this preset (Voices-RTWin - see page 319) and follow the instructions in the manual! You set up the crossfade and assign the controller using a cord.

Simple really!!

Well, no it's described as an 'advanced' application of the machine, and there are a few button presses to get it to work. But the RTXfade is organised well and a hammond xfade is one of the easiest to set up. I imported my sample set from an Akai disk, and the import routine assigns each sample to its own voice because that's the way the import routine works. Anyway, it worked for me first time

Good luck!
