Re: That old chestnut: the best Hammond clone

<r>I don't think the Voce has a built in Leslie effect, so that might be a problem. Also don't forget the Nord Electro, which is supposed to sound really good, but doesn't have real time drawbars, which may be a problem.<br/> <br/> I too was trying to get a decent Hammond sound, and ended up with th...

Sampling an SRX sound

<t>I have a fantom XA, and as it only has one SRX slot, I have a problem, because I have 2 SRX cards that I want to use.<br/> <br/> However, one of the cards only has a couple of sounds that I want to use, so I was thinking that I could sample the waves and use those instead.<br/> <br/> What would b...

Re: Prog Lovers: Frost* studio video featuring X6

<r>Jem, I think you were entitled to be excited - lots of work you'd lost there!<br/> <br/> I was quite puzzled in one of your other videos why you'd got the Dance SRX card (apart from getting it free) until I discovered your *day job* <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> Your videos have been entertaining, and enl...

Re: FCB1010 Foot Controller

<r>I use one, but as I have a combined keyboard / guitar setup, then it is useful as a multipurpose midi controller.<br/> <br/> Essentially for keyboards, I use one of the pedals as volume, 2 of the switches for leslie slow / leslie fast, and then finally I use the switches to connect to the hold in...

Re: NEW FANTOM-G, PLEASE TALK HERE

<t>"Just because they are using the old samples, doesn't mean that they are going to be the same sounds. "<br/> <br/> Well yes - perhaps not a good way to put it - but if there were different ways of using the same samples - more velocity layers perhaps, you might be getting something very different...

Re: NEW FANTOM-G, PLEASE TALK HERE

<t>Surely if there are no slots for SRX cards, that might mean that they are not compatible with the new system. <br/> <br/> In other words, the new system might not be based on the old 4 tone structure (unless I've missed that somewhere). Certainly it appears that there will be a new effects system...

Re: Has anyone tried the SRX-97?

I'd be interested if you come up with any decent versions of the overdriven hammond :)

Cheers

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97

<t>well I've got one of those, and I was inspired last night to go beyond the presets a bit, and came up with a half decent hammond, but it really isn't overdriven enough for what I want.<br/> <br/> The Gimme Some SRX isn't too bad, but that sounds more like a hammond thats very noisy, than one bein...

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97

<r>OK - thanks for that - a real shame - although I always thought the XA had basically the same hardware as the X6 etc, just with less ROM.<br/> <br/> I'd still be interested in your review of what the sounds are like though - it might inspire me to create better ones <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> It would ...

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97

<t>Thanks - I'd be very interested to hear Rolands response to that one - it does seem unusual to only work with limited models.<br/> <br/> Buying outside of ebay would be fine - we just need to sort out a price.<br/> <br/> It sounds like you have plenty to buy in the near future, but making noise i...

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97

<t>Having just looked at your photos - I noticed that the SRX97 is only supposed to work in the X6/X7/X8/XR and Juno G.<br/> <br/> Now I have an XA, so naturally I'm curious if it would work - does the SRX97 use some internal sounds that are not present in the S/ XA etc or is there some other reason...

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97

<r>The over the top distorted organs are what I really want one for - try as I might, I just can't get *that* sound, and I'm pretty sure this card is going to be much closer - obviously I'd love to gig with a proper B3 and leslies, but thats never going to happen <E>:D</E><br/> <br/> I'm really inte...

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97

Very interested in the Jon Lord card, as those are exactly the sort of sounds I'm looking for, and so far have fallen short in trying to create :(

Xa Rotary & Hammond Sounds

<t>Hi, I've been lurking here a while, having bought a second hand Xa recently.<br/> <br/> I have been playing around trying to get a decent rock hammond sound from it, and have yet to find something that is just what I want.<br/> <br/> I've tried the B4real, but need to play with that more, and als...
