[A Melvin Seals appreciation thread.]

Anyone else play with this type of style?

 

Almost everyone here and when I look up videos plays Hammond mostly jazzy with really fast runs and scales and cool riffs and all but Melvin's style is so incredibly soulful with BIG chords and smears and such. I feel like he just unleashes the power of the B and the Leslie.

I'll have to upload some. I can't right now. Maybe tomorrow. He is a beast

That video is sweet! Awesome close up. Thanks Scott

 

And actually Melvin was who I was thinking of when I started that dual Leslie thread

I'll jump in on this... "The Master of the Universe," as Garcia called him, was the reason I fell in love with the B3! He's also a great guy and really easy to talk to.. I've met him like 3 times.

 

Care to share any of his riffs, drawbar settings, or any quick tips you use in your JGB band?

 

Also, with all due respect, I think there are many, much better solos that do Melvin more justice with regard to how incredibly freakin intense and soulful he is. He makes the B, C (and even Nords) scream and sing simultaneously

Is there a mic angle setting?

I'm sure it's an easy fix that the hx makers can implement. When I got an early Burn, the sk midi didn't work. Same issue. I emailed Guido and it was fixed in the first update.

It has something to do with the Hammond sk buttons. I learned this screwing around with vb3.

 

So even with Cantabile's Midi mapping it wouldn't work. Brad helped me out by doing an experimental version where I could set it up globally in Cantabile.

 

But yeah the SK midi implementation is weird.

Second - only G, Gb, B, Bb, D, D# sound

Third - only B, C, Eb, E, G, Ab sound

 

Is this normal?[/font]

 

Happened to me. I don't know why. I did factory reset. Fixed the problem, never to return

SoulshotDoc, the effect you are hearing is built into the sample itself. You can't edit it.

 

 

Is that also the case with the EPs and clavs?

 

Ex) I think one of the overdrive EPs has another affect that is adjustable by the Extra voice effect knob. So is the overdrive just built in to the sample?
