funkythumbs Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I just purchased a xk3. I have it connected to a leslie 2101 with the 11 pin cable. In the manual it says turning on the xk3 will turn on the leslie automatically, but it doesn't. Once I turn on the leslie it doesn't turn off with the organ or the off switch on the leslie. The leslie does not turn off until I disconnect the 11 pin cable. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassdad Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I thought it was supposed to control the Leslie spin speed, ie. chorale, fast, or off. Not electrical on/off to the Leslie..... but I've been wrong before....

Delaware Dave Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Send JMcS a PM; I'm certain he has the solution as he owns both. In the meantime change out the CR2032 battery in the 2101. This is typically the culprit. They cost about $3. https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/users/29556/JMcS 57 Hammond B3; 69 Hammond L100P; 68 Leslie 122; Kurzweil Forte7 & PC3; M-Audio Code 61; Voce V5+; Neo Vent; EV ELX112P; GSI Gemini & Burn Delaware Dave Exit93band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcS Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 As Dave said, a dead battery in the 2101 is usually the cause. A few months ago mine started not turning on with the organ. I replace the battery but it still didn't turn on. I unplugged/re-plugged the 11 pin cable at both ends and it started working properly. The cables hadn't been disconnected for several years so there might have been some corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
