Most interesting, and better than expected:-)
The Leslie is IMHO a bit too strong. It pans
side to side, but I don't get the impression
of a rotor.

I'll play with the balance thing and see how it sounds. Here's another
clip...

But, its a pretty amazing emulator. The lack of the
Hammond signature, key click, gives it away. Maybe
it's there somewhere on the MIDI module?

I don't think any of the Hammond sounds have a click, but I tried layering
with a woodblock sound and thought it was okay. Then I found another sound
called "FlKyClk", which is a flute key click, according to the manual. They
both change pitch with the note played, but the pitch change of the flute
click is less obvious. I'll record a snippet with each when I get a moment.
(Could try with both as well, but I need to watch that I don't exceed the 32
note polyphany)


The Leslie varispeed effect is very much to my liking.

Yes. I think the transition points between slow and fast are important.


Please post some more clips when you have had
a chace to go through the MIDI options.

Will do. In the meantime, here's the list of drawbar presets that the module
has...

Suggestions for a suitable drawbar setup would be appreciated. I should
mention that this stuff is too fiddly to change while playing - it's a case
of picking a drawbar setup (or two setups and splitting the keyboard into
two manuals) and using the Leslie sound to vary things. Another limitation
is the lack of an expression pedal, although I'm not above seeking out a
stereo one that could go between the GM-1000 and the G4. That said, I think
I have enough to concentrate on for now.


Everyone knows Jimmy Smith, but Jack McDuff,
a great favourite of mine, is not so well known:

Here's a taster:

Aye, nice and fluid.
