Thanks. I might start looking at arranger keyboards, or at least arranger software for an iPad and check out some of those other boards.

I had a PC3 76 which I really liked, but this is kinda just dull. I don't like the springy bounce in the keys, nor the plastic feeling little keys. I can't find a velocity setting I really like. 2 gigs, couldn't get a good equalization out of the PA. Sounds better through headphones. Actually, there really isn't a wow sound in any new piano, electric piano sounds, and Kb3 double rotary is still a warble. So, some advise. My Electro 5D works great for me in my band setting of piano, electric piano and organ, but I need a board for duo gigs with an acoustic guitar. I'd like a better variety of sounds that has good drums, basses, strings and horns. Any suggestions? I had wished the PC4 7 was it.

You're right. So I made a split from the clear multi. Split at G3, 9ft grand top, Big rotary bottom transposed 2 octaves up. All sliders and switches made like the
stock B3 programs. I do like brake, but i probably don't need to change switch 3 and 4 often and thought about a place for piano presence here. Any setting besides Chor 1 does'nt sound good. Modulation wheel is distortion for organ, variation button is for leslie slow/fast, though stock fast leslies are not usable yet. Knob 1 is Piano volume, Knob 2 is Organ volume. Here I realized just adjusting the drawbars was more natural to get that volume balance correct. knob 3 to 6 I used for piano equalization. Knob 7 I put piano filter feq midi 12, then knob 8 and 9 is separate reverb for each instrument. Pretty happy with it
I then switched the top program to synth sound Gig lead. Off to the the races I went with Shine on you crazy diamond. Now I'm having fun. Need to make an adjustable delay for the synth on a knob though.

Thanks. I guess I can go make it, but you would think someone would have made an Organ split with active drawbars so far. Also, where is the Kb mutes? Did they remove it?
-
Has anyone made a multi, say piano top, KB3 bottom half, that has the KB3 using the drawbars correctly, and moving each volume control to the knobs instead, and use the rest of knobs for presence, filter, reverb, or any important feature. Also, a Rhodes instead of piano and adding a Wah on modulation wheel like PC3.

If you are hauling all that gear back and forth, and you and/or the audience can not hear you, its time to find other players or do the solo act. Why bother.

Thank you all. This is some awesome info, but now another question. When you routed the FX out to B, then to the neo, which original FX setting did you edit out the KB3A, and/or B? A single or double leslie? Did you keep 1 or 2 Chor/vib boxes? Does it matter?
-
I guess my question wasn't clear. My question was about bypassing KB3 effects, not modifying. Buying B3 sample library packages, or making my own on a Nord, and loading into the PC4. Would'nt you make a Vast B3, bypassing the KB3 Leslie effect? I know I would probably lose ramp up and down, but could this reasonably work, and could I at least make drawbar settings work mapped out correctly? Someone must have tried on this or the Forte. Wondering how well this works, or is it best to get a Vent. Also thinking to get B3X, or a Leslie on my IPad and plug into Audio in. Then I'd have a 1 board does everything. Id love an excuse to get rid of the Electro 5d for the PC4-7.

Not being familiar with uploading samples and mapping into the PC4, is it possible to load fast Leslie samples and make keymaps and layers that could be controlled by the drawbars?
Kurzweil pc4-7 I've tried, but I think I'll get rid if it
