Thanks, yes I forget all the controls are still there on screen if I really need access.

Thanks for your advice DD. 1. I have the phone audio routed into the aux in of the reface, so if I pull the volume on the YC it also kills the volume of vb3m. Although this solution (local on) does make the rotary lever have 3 postions. So it would be a fine solution if I choose to have audio straight out of phone into an amp. 2. Presets? The reface YC doesn't have any, if that's what you mean. 3. Could do. It does have an expression pedal jack. But then I've lost my swell. 4. I have chosen this one. I have a fader that natively is assigned to vibrato depth so I have mapped that to Leslie and it works fine for 3 speeds. Of course I'd prefer the location of the rotary lever but like you say, you've got to find a way to make it work. I may go back to the rotary lever choice as it can do slow/fast and I don't often play stop.

I'm stuck here. This might be specific to my keyboard but trying to get my reface YC to operate vb3m slow, stop, and fast Leslie. I can midi map the rotary to the reface Yc's rotary lever but in midi local control off mode the lever only has sends two positions. Currently 0 and 127. What can I do to switch between three positions slow, stop and fast? Thanks anyone...

I found I was in the wrong mode on the Reface YC. It has midi control mode on/off. Off only sends note and velocity information. All the hardware controls were sending nothing, checked with a midi monitor android app. Turning on midi control mode makes the YC send all CC information as normal via the knobs and faders and also note information. Phew. The midi learn in the vb3m app all worked as instructions say. I had to set the range on the rotary lever to 0-75 to get all three positions to behave.

Yeah it's the mini Yamaha Reface YC. Hoping to get this working as my mobile campsite setup, all battery powered.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Want to set up mapping to yamaha reface YC. Tried midi learn. Double tap on first column parameter name but nothing happens. So then I tried manually entering the cc value for a drawbar. Found the CC numbers in the Yamaha manual online. Still doesn't make the on-screen drawbar work.

Yeah I love that dx7 app! I bought the unlocked version. The latency is really good with it. From a customer point of view I am thinking if Rockrelay Synth FM can manage great latency then why not GSI? I of course know nothing of the technical challenges. Some other android apps I use that play with "zero" or low latency are DRC polyphonic synthesiser and also Soundfont Midi Player. That has a low latency button on the demo version. Hit that and all is fine (time limited feature) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.greh.soundfontmidiplayer

Re: android vb3m. In the GUI, it would nice to have the Leslie half moon switch accessible from the same screen as the drawbars. I find that the tabs to get to different screens are positioned off the screen on my phone in a kind of glitch so you can only see a slither of what the tab is labelled. So to play with drawbars, then switch to another screen to change Leslie speed is a bit of a nightmare.

I have tried it on a OnePlus 3t and 8t. The latency on both is noticeable but I could live with it because the sound is good. However my controller is a Yamaha Reface YC and the midi CC messages can't be edited. As commented elsewhere here, the app has no configuration settings for midi learning or manual mapping so for me it isn't playable in this condition. Maybe it should have been released as a time limited demo before paying, so we could try it on our many different setups. Hopefully there'll be some updates.

I'd be very wary of buying something and then hoping for an update. I've done it before with other electronic items and it never happened. The manufacturer will just move on and release a different keyboard and forget the old models. I still love my mini reface YC and CP and just accepted at time of purchase that yamaha wouldn't be updating the YC's shortcomings. Namely the chorus/vibrato.

I just spotted the new YC's have the pitch bend and mod stick at an angle instead of vertical and side-to-side as they are on the YC61. Seems odd to have them on a slant. Never tried them like that though. Thanks. That's all!

Nice of him to be open about the setup. I suggested he might like to do some A/b with the internal and his leslie device. Although Yamaha might drop him in a lake with concrete boots on for doing that. (Joke!)

Hi everyone. I found the guy on instagram and asked him. I can't copy and paste the comment. But it's an external hardware Leslie sim. https://www.instagram.com/p/CI7g05qBnHO/?igshid=1ui04odnbryi3 in the comments section, question asked by @jonesdaddy
