Hmm. There are lots of rotary controls, including separate slow and fast speeds for drum and horn... maybe you need to play with these settings?
Or use in AUM with the GSI leslie app.

I agree that B3x is the best. A couple of things that make it better is the flaws. Key click and generator leakage as well as fold back causing certain tones to be too loud. It is more real. The demo of the yonak is similar to the blue 3 organ app. Too idealized and smooth. At least vb3.2 2023 has a ring modulater with midi control. The yonak could use a gimmick like that to stand out. Although any crazy effect is easy to use or midi control with AUM. The $10 price might be the yonaks biggest draw.

I have a couple of yonaks other synths. Good stuff.

I was living in Columbus about 15 years ago and decided that it would be stupid not to call Tony Monaco and get a lesson. I'm still digesting the info I got that hour. Another lesson would just be piling on.

One had the gig in the late 80's and the other was on the short list but didn't get it in the 90's. For the 90's gig, the pay offered was salary....10k per week, gig or not. 4 star hotels, private jet. no buses at all.
I don't know of were talking about the same band but in the 2000's I worked with 2 guys that were carpenters (the hammer kind not the singing kind) on a stones tour. Standard pay for every tour $100,000. But it would be years in-between tours.

Seems better than sleeping on a smelly bus with a bunch of crappy musicians. 🤷♀️ 😉
Pay them more and maybe they'll smell better. Nah, probably not.

...worth keeping in mind that that's the equivalent of about $1k per gig today.
Also wort keeping in mind that the pay rate hasn't gone up since then and the buying power of a nights work, maybe the only money a musician will make all week, might buy a couple bags of groceries and half a tank of petrol. But I'm repeating the obvious point.

A singer and her guitarist I was friends with had a cool band. She was a great singer but her and the guitarist were good not great songwriters. So the band eventually broke up and she got into studio work as a singer for jingles and all sorts of stuff. One jingle session she's on wasn't sounding like the producer wanted and she heard him say I want to sound like Fleetwood Mac which was the new Fleetwood with Stevie Nicks. The singer said I can do that if you want and she goes out and sings the jingle like Stevie Nicks so good you could tell it wasn't Stevie. Well she tells the producer I'm good at imitating other singers and she starts getting lots of work singing like Stevie Nicks and occasionally others. Then the lawsuit came she the jingle house was being sued for imitating Stevie for commercial work. I don't remember the legal name it was called. They didn't think Nicks would win but she did and the singer started losing work people being scared they might be sued too. So might no need a AI computer to sound like someone else, but at least in my friends case she was sued by the real person and it cost her.
Nick's is unique and it's impressive if a fellow human can fool you into thinking it's her. Steve Marriott on the other hand has a voice and range that would be near impossible for another singer to copy enough to fool a fan. I have heard covers by Beth Hart and Debora Bonham that captured a strong Marriott flavor but at no time did I think it was Steve himself.

I read a story in my FB feed where the wife of dead singer Steve Marriott is trying to sell the rights of Steve's name to an AI music content creator where they would make new humble pie songs with Steve's AI fabricated voice. But she doesn't own Humble Pies name just the Marriott estate. That would truly be an abomination. That's why I don't believe in human cloning. What's unthinkable to a normal person is not a worry to an evil scientist.

Ritchie Blackmore (essentially cycled out Dio).
Dio(reneged on a money sharing agreement and lost all or most of the first Dio lineup).
David Coverdale ( Similar to Dios situation I believe).

If the Lester footswitch is mechanical which ehx pedals mostly if not all are, pull the wires from the switch and make them longer. Then try the wires in different combinations on the half moon switch. There are only going to be 2 or 3 wires so there won't be many options to try. When you figure it out, make the wires short again and solder them to a jack in the Lester's box. I think you can guess the rest. If you are looking for exact instructions, I'd say they don't exist and probably never will if YOU don't do it.

That clip should be recommended viewing for every artist and musician. Reality.😎
There are longer term considerations that main artists don't recognize until it's too late. Bowie lost Ronson over money. To me he lost a big chunk of his bowieness. I'm sure we all can mourn the break up of our favorite acts because the main guy didn't pay his band enough to keep them devoted. The consequences don't appear until the next album but the loss is real. Back to the OT, yeah a hired sideman for a tour can be replaced without the artist losing his overall sound so his value is limited. But when the band has chemistry, you never know what you're going to lose by replacing someone.

For some strange reason, too many people overestimate their worth in believing that with a modicum of talent, somebody should pay for it. Yeah....no.🤣😎
You're right. The guy that pressed start on the potato fryer should net twice the money as the guy that entertained you for 4 hours playing difficult music. (Sarcasm).

I replied to a friend's Facebook post featuring this video recently. The thing that jumped out at me is that the money that the vlogger quoted is identical to what was being paid 20 years ago when I was out there. That's truly scary.
Rumour was that David Bowie was only paying SRV $500 per show. Buying power wise that might be $180 today.
1Gigging musicians and
2 Street prostitutes are the only jobs that the pay doesn't go up with inflation. I'm guessing about the second one.

I find it hard to believe that Steve, patch maker supreme wouldn't use his sounds onstage with toto. I haven't seen a Steve Porcaro dig-my-rig but I would think his use of yamaha is as a keybed only

Locking the mixer is the one way to make sure every channel is set wrong for the next band.

I wonder why the mac/pc version is so much cheaper than the ios.
Usually the ios is cheaper. Or at least was for a long time. Now that ios has gained credibility as a music platform I suspect the low price lure of ios versions of apps will be not a thing very much longer.
BTW it seems that actual sound quality of cheaper ios versions of multi platform apps is not compromised in any app I've heard.

The fact that the artist could replace a musician in about 5 minutes with 1000 other wanna- giggers keeps the pay low.

I paid $29 a few years ago.My point was if the OP was going to wait for a deeper discount than $49 he's going to miss out waiting for a maybe never price of $29. Good luck with that.

XK-3c vs. XK-5 ..... tone, Leslie sim, nothing else
in The Keyboard Corner
Posted
The xk3c is a couple of generations behind. The leslie sim is passable but not at a "leave the vent at home" level. The later HamSuz stuff is almost "sell the vent" . But the other stuff that really separates isn't the tonewheel sound so much but it's if you like the CV and percussion.
