  1. btw, with the XK you can set both DB sets for upper manual or set each DB set for each manual. See page 62 in user manual. I like 4 DB sets as per the vintage but 2 is doable too. Also, those using a controller with 9 sliders as a lower manual are afforded a 3rd DB set (DB set to control the lower manual for example).
  2. That's a great cut. I think it was just an old 21H with a worn rope (upper belt). That or motors need some love.
  3. I'm transcribing Danny Gatton cuts and making charts. It's fun.
  4. Likely a 'duh' to some here but perhaps of help to others. Ok so had a last min gig with some fun humans which didn't call for nor was very conducive to bringing the real/vintage rig. I decided to bring the XK3c single and put a VR09 above, held off on the 122 at last minute and loaded a KXD15. Overtime in home studio I've dialed in a surprisingly decent leslie sim within this old 3c, about as close as I can get it (basically knowing how my leslies sound). Anyway, fearing the sim on stage and 'oof, let's just get through this leslie sim show' I found myself seriously digging it all and how well the sim 'sim'd'. The translation was great, the tweaking worthwhile. The 122 bests it but this was still enjoyable. Didn't get in the way iow. In case it might help some hunting the same I thought I'd list some things, because if this older 3c/VASE is doing this I know most of you can get things even closer with your newer clones. - Of course, setup your organ only/direct organ output to match (best possible) with the orig/vintage output. Do this via headphones as well as via your amp of choice. The 3c has rather limited but functional TW sets but editing by ear the drive, the c/v, the perc vol/decay, and EQ to match my rigs (just organ direct output) as best possible it then better sets up the leslie sim editing success (made even easier for owners of the latest and greatest). - setup your leslie sim as close as possible to orig/vintage leslie operation. For some perhaps that means taking the clone offsite to a studio/other with a working vintage setup. Ramp up/down times differ between upper and lower on the orig so do the same with your internal (not just by numbered increment but by ear. You want to hear the difference, don't be swayed by the data onscreen). The slow/fast speeds are also crucial (again best matched by ear against the vintage). The mic angle, mic distance, all of it set. - Live, come stereo in and out (mixer or stereo capable amp) from your clone. In this case the stereo in from 3c and stereo direct out of this kxd. Explain to house sound it has to be stereo out. If it just simply has a terrible leslie sim you may not have a choice but think about working on and using the internal rather than heading to one or more pedals to achieve things. Give the internal sim a fair shake before dropping $5-600 on 'more gear'. There's just too many items to balance to get in the way otherwise (imho, most of the leslie pedals sound best on vintage organs rather than the clones).
  5. For something that fits the requirements, price, AND sounds good I'd 2nd the Yamaha MGs as well. There's models with knobs or faders. I know you want it really small but it will likely serve more in the long run. I also think a small digi mixer and using Mix Station via your phone, tablet, etc would do the job well too since you mention it's mainly set and forget with slight voc adjustments here and there. Very portable.
  6. It's not usually 'snobbery' but artistic decision to work within the medium (to meet the intention, whatever it may be. That's up to the artist). There are techniques and decisions to be made in working with film medium. This usually affords unique results when in the right hands/mind. * That and it's fun. CGI will never scare me, there's no weight. Practical fx will always reign supreme!!! Also, 16:9 anamorphic film is a powerful force...like a fine McIntosh with matched quad 6550 paired with quality vinyl! We need more Rob Bottins in the world!
  7. Then again I just caught this (I don't think any of this is high priority at this juncture anyway). WTH happened btw?
  8. VST hard sell (aka: things are kind of sadcore in keyboardville). Yes, let's forget about all outboard. They're fine for what they are. This is an infomercial however.
  9. Seems like a cool, genuine dude to this day. Definitely some right time-right place history. This one's a bit Guitar Centery though (but who cares, it's just a jam).
  10. Mmm, they all make a sound when the TG is tied down. Let's see A/V of the 'ticking' (if only there were a way!!). If it's as bad as insinuated I agree, repair wicking and likely a scanner cleaning. But again, the original reply was in re to "disconnecting it/I don't use chorus". I don't think it's the scanner making the ticking btw. Btw, you can apply oil to scanner via the backside cap using a syringe. Quick n dirty method but it's worked. A light restore lighter fluid pass and an oiling via the back cap with the syringe in other cases. Or, take it off and do a scanner clean and rebuild.
  11. Nope. Too much wrong here. Stamped: disagree, and may gawd have mercy on your soul.
  12. The rule of thumb of an oiling once a year (as described above by others) came about based on organs that were used daily/weekly per year. The more often it's used the closer we adhere to a yearly oiling. Some choose to do it every 2 years. And what's been mentioned is correct, we don't "fill the cups" with normal maintenance (there are some extreme restore/revive cases where perhaps a naptha pass and an oiling follow will free things up well). But never refreshing the TG oil and the rig will eventually let you know (and you want to be there if/when it does). We also pay attention to our 6x4 tubes.
  13. I guess it depends on severity but I'm willing to bet the 'ticking' you're hearing is normal scanner operation. They do make a sound. An oiling may be due at most. Sounds are more pronounced as well when the TG is locked down (an organ moved often should have it's TG locked down btw). * do not over oil scanner-side (small tub above motor/scanner). Don't fill the tub, just wet the felt pad and done. But "disconnect the scanner" as a fix? No no.
  14. 80's!! 🤘 (kind of thinking that old GM is still better than all the Ai I've heard).
  15. Oh. No no, first will be 'the great battle'. Cameron was a prophet, Terminator is coming. In the meantime please enjoy some General MIDI music.
