I really enjoyed your Axel-F video. I was wondering if you'd considering doing a video on how you created the sounds for that song?

thanks, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

i was planning on reviewing the synth engine next, and you gave me a good idea how to do it. I will showcase the axel f sounds. that would probably be more interesting than wading through 1000s of random presets or digging into the menus :)

I really like your video's. Have you been able to add the C3 vibrato/chorus on the Roland FA organ section ? I am a former B3/Leslie 122 owner and particularly like a slow leslie effect with C3 chorus. Cheers !

we all love the sound of C3! But for whatever reason Roland left it out of the FA. There is no chorus/vibrato, too bad. They model this in other keyboards this must have been a deliberate design choice. Probably they don't want to hurt sales of their dedicated organ keyboards.

that probably makes sense. Oh well, my SK2 Hammond has replaced the B3/122 very nicely and saves me lugging around a +400lb B3 and 150lb Leslie. Youtube video's on the VR-09 Roland definitely have the C3 feature as do other Roland keyboards with organ drawbars. Thanks !
