Does B4 real exist for Fantom XR?

I think some people here have converted some patches for it but as the XR doesn't have RPS you lose all the functionality of the patches. B4Real uses RPS to turn on and off the various elements such as chorus and the leslie effect so even if you could get a B4Real song file to load on the XR you would not be able to really tweak all the elements of the sound.

...but with a MIDI controller I think it is easy to tweak element

so, who can make available those patches ???

No, you can't edit it all through midi controllers, piattica. You can edit the "drawbars" though and a few other elements but most of the strength of B4Real lay in its use RPS.

Is there some ready patches/performances of hammond (using internal samples) where you can controld drawbars / leslie speeed/ perc. / vibrato by midi CC?

You cant really adjust too many of the elements on the preset patches. You can turn Leslie on and off on a lot of them but my recollection was that percussion was in most of the organ samples themselves as was chorus/vibrato. You may find it a little better to just put 4 different organ patches into a performance and mix or blend them using the realtime controllers. I know that not the way to play the organ but some people found that this was a good enough way to achieve some morphing of the sound when playing live.

I am looking for a patch that simulates drawbars controlled by MIDI CC

Piattica, if you put each of the drawbar sinewave patches on it's own MIDI channel (not sure if this is how it's set up, I've not used B4Real for a looong time) you can control them individually over MIDI using the channel volumes (CC#7) or Channel Expression (CC#11) parameters.

Yes, you can do that with B4Real but piattica has an XR, Andy, so he can load B4Real directly onto the XR. Do you know if anyone has uploaded any of the B4Real performances to the forum for use by other XR members?

Without trawling the forum for past posts, this is the only link I know of, Howard.

Also, the phrase "XR" is too short, so the site search function ignores it :/

I know, I tried to do that search as well and found it was too short.
