Is it true that you can add overdrive effect through a Viscount Legend via effects loop? If you can I need to try it.At this point the Mojo overdrive is one of its major assets.

 

Absolutely. I used to run my Speakeasy AMA in my Legend Live effects loop and it was glorious.

Not really a jazz trio for me, maybe more like Atomic Rooster 

 

That's a great name drop! I'd like to hear what you are doing with the band. Originals?

Is it the perspective of this pic that's tripping me up, or do you have the Nord sitting well above the crossbar?

 

 

The stock stand has the crossbar at the top, but I relocated it downward about 6-8 inches.

[This one seems legit]

Victory! 

[Easy additive synthesis idea for sample-based, subtractive syntnesizers]

This sounds like standard additive synthesis to me. The whole problem is that static harmonics sound lifeless and get boring quickly. You need to control the envelope over time of each harmonic separately to make things interesting, but now you have a thousand parameters to manipulate and the user interface becomes unwieldy.

If you are concerned about too much room ambience on the internal sim, decrease the mic distance params.

Does the Speakeasy have a tube amp in it with a 6 pin connector?

I almost always take my daughter to see the Mummies when they pass through. Getting too old to stand and boogie for the entire show though.

 I had always assumed that they used tape loops not strips. 

 

There was a tape loop based design financed by Rick Wakeman - the Birotron.

[How do you handle one-off gigs]

I was forever cured of pick up gigs by the last one I did with a local long running band. We had one rehearsal the night before, and I learned that I came better prepared than the regular players were.  

 

The gig was a disaster. It was an unorganized outdoor multiple band event with no stage or stage lighting. We played a tiny set for a tiny crowd because we were last and everything was late, but we still had to stop at dark.

 

During this short set, the drummer bandleader was yelling at the bass player for losing the beat during What Is Hip, and the horn section was so bad cracking notes and playing sloppy that the drummer actually stopped the song to yell at them before starting it again.

 

Needless to say I never answered my phone again when he was calling.

As per this Frank Montis video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nGSzRl1t-o 

He is able to comp chords on the lower manual while also having a setting for Left Hand bassline. Does that mean He has 2 different settings set on the lower manual ? 

If that is the case the CRUMAR MOJO poses same issue cause it has only the one set of drawbars for each manual (?)

 

 

No, you cannot split an organ manual. The standard registration for lower manual jazz is 838000000, which allows playing bass lines in the bottom octave and comping with a mellow tone with your right hand. Then you use the upper manual for your lead and shout stuff.
