Leslie effect control w/pitch-bend for Art or Sheldon

Stevee,

you can't use the pitch bender this way, because the slow/fast rotary switch is not a continuous control destination. You can make the bender either slow it down or speed it up.

For example, set the rotary speed to slow, then in MFX control set the pitch bender to control the speed +63 (now turn the bender to the right to speed it up, let it go to slow down), or -63 (same but to the left). For fast setting as default it's the reverse.

Anyway, in general, you should simply do it via the modulation lever, not the pitch bender - same results and you will not have to dig into patch edit to disable the pitch bender's affect on the pitch.

Stevee,

If you are not "married" to the pitch bender for your leslie effects, try this one that I found on this site.

Use the D beam to trigger modulation. First, press "jump" together with the assignable buttom under the d beam. Set both the min and max to 127 and set the contoleer to modulation. When you are playing your organ patch, wave the old hand over the d beam. This will turn the modulation ( i.e., leslie) on and it will stay on, but you then have to push the pitch bend handle forward to turn off the leslie (i.e., reset the modulation to 0).

I've used this performing and it works pretty ell. It is the only use of the d beam that I have found so far.

I use a footswitch, which automatically is set to Modulation. No hands required is by far the best option.

The Boss footswitch works great.

The problem then is that you have no place to put a volume control pedal because Roland only saw fit to put a damper and 1 controller plug on the back. Clearly we could have used more like the XP-80...

Very much not true. Volume pedals have a 1/4 in and out for audio. They have an optional Modulation mode. My Behringer Volume pedal was only $25.00 and it can do stereo in and out and has a modulation setting. I use 3 pedals at once.

Man, that sounds like a great way to solve my problem. I'm not sure I follow you on the 3 pedal thing. Do you have 3 in series or what. I'd be very appreciative if you could give me some of the details of how you've got this set up.

Many thanks.

I use a Sustain Pedal, a Boss Foot Swich(For Modulation) and the Volume Pedal attached via audio cables.

How do you connect them all to the one controller plug on the Fantom ???

Rick Pecunia, MD

The sustain pedal has its own 1/4" jack.
The footswitch goes into the Control Jack.
The Volume pedal is connected to the audio out.
A seperate cable goes from the Volume pedal to the amp.

Got It. Thanks again.
