The microphone bleed: controls the amount drum sound going into the horn microphones and vice versa. The pan: controls the right left pan of each rotor. The Driver Distortion: We realized while measuring the horn and drum without the Leslie amp that there was some inherent distortion to the speakers themselves, so you can control how much of this effect you want. A 3 band EQ: controls the frequency response of each rotor.
Slow and fast speeds: controls the speeds of each rotor when in chorale or tremolo. Accel and Decel times: controls how long it takes for each rotor to reach the fast speed when you switch the leslie to fast and the same thing when it slows down. The Speed random: adds a little variation to the speeds, and if you set for example the horn and drum at the same exact speed, you will still get variations instead of something very static. The Memphis: this is a feature that was asked by customers a lot, it allows to simply disconnect the corresponding motor which will stop it from spinning, the memphis mod is usually used on the bass rotor.
The Brake position: controls the position of the rotor when you hit the brake button on the main interface. By default and just anything that rotates and is stopped, it will stop to a random natural position that depends on when it was stopped and the time needed to do so. We added the posibility to use a fixed position to always have the same position when the rotator stops. When you remove the deflector, you will immediately hear that the amplitude modulation is very much accentuated, but it will also feel less "airy".
Drum Panel: it's only available for the drum and controls if you want the leslie with or without the wooden back panel between the drum and the microphones. The mic position: There are 3 different choices corresponding to the most common ways of recording a leslie, so from the back of the leslie, the side or the front. We also added two variations that consist of being on axis, so with the microphones set symetrically relatively to the rotors, or off axis where the microphones are set symetrically relatively to the box and since the rotors are not centered in the box, they end up being asymetrical relatively to the rotors.
When set at 0, the signal is mono. The microphone distance: You can set the microphones at 4 different distances from 5cm 2' to 90cm 36'. The enhance AM: controls an extra amount of amplitude modulation if you feel like you want more of it. We sampled 3 different ones, a Leslie , a and a , each one with the same set of microphone placements. The all sound slightly different. Hundreds of models. On the main panel, you have access to a list of voicing models as well as tonewheel models.
The tonewheel models are actual recordings of real tonewheels. To make it as realistic as possible and avoid any loop, these samples are 10 seconds long and looped only after those 10 seconds have been played.
It is then very unlikely that you hear that loop, but you still get the live character of real tonewheels. Depending on the model, you will get more or less crosstalk and the key click will be slightly different. Here are the four different models that we sampled: A B3 from A C3 from A C3 from An A from Three of these Organs both C3s and the A are the property of Mr Pietro Roncarolo from Italy, he made the recordings for it and also helped a great deal in recording different aspecs and effects of his organs to help us create our model.
The voicing models on the other hand are what make a Hammond sound like a hammond. This is what technicians spend hours doing when they adjust an organ. They change the capacitors that are too old and out of specs and adjust the pickups to make the organ sound as they want.
Kon Zissis, a very cool hammond enthusiast that serviced hammonds for years, has been measuring the tonewheel output volume of the many organs he had in his hands and helpd the Hammond community fix their own organs.
He nicely agreed that we use his measurements and include them in the B5 Organ V3. For us, this meant reproducing the whole signal chain which we did not do in the V2, and after some help from him and many hours of work, we were able to carefully reproduce every aspect of the signal chain, from the AO to the resistive wires and the drawbars and were finally able to use Kon's data.
This give you a list of tonewheel measurements from many different models. If you click on the moicing model icon, you get acces to a panel that shows all 91 tonewheel volumes. As you go through the list, you will see that table change and you can also make changes manually. As you go through the list, you will see models that say "wax capacitors". These models were measured before the capacitor replacement which take a lot of time to do.
Usually there is also the same model "recapped", meaning that they were measured again after the capacitor changes. And finally the models that are "recapped and recalibrated" have new capacitors and have ben adjusted to what is considered the orginal hammond specs for the corresponding models. Once you're happy with a voicing, you can click on the three horizontal lines and save your voicing and then reload it later.
We also added the option to enable or disable the manual tapering. On the B3, C3 and A RT3 as well Mr Hammond added groups of wires called the resistive wires that allow for a volume reduction that depends on the range and on the drawbar. The manual tapering did not exist in older models like the A, B, BC, etc, so to be able to take advantage of these models, we give you a way to not use it, or even to use a Hybrid one.
The hybrid model is a mod that is often applied on older models like the A, B, A2, B2, etc and that consist of a different set of resistive wires that will not reduce the highs and lows as much, but still remove a little of the harshness. FX Panel.
On top of our Leslie tube saturation, we added a panel of 7 FX. These FX are pre-Leslie, except for the reverb, which can be pre or post. Now you can truly recreate the sound of any organ or song, including progressive rock! Tube saturation. We completely redesigned it in version 3 to match real recordings even more accurately. Advanced Percussion System.
The percussion system was introduced in the B-3 and C-3 organs to add the percussive instruments to the list of instruments that the organs were supposed to replace.
As simple as it sounds like, it is not a simple sample addition, here is what it does and that we carefully reproduced:. In the Prefs panel, you can control that percussion system, here is what you have access to: You can control the "normal" and "soft" settings respective volumes. There aren't two organs with the same voume for these. The decay for "slow" and "fast" can also be changed, in reality, this is controlled by a knob inside the organ called percussion cutoff.
You can change that if you want to to mimic what's possible on some spinets for example. On real organs, selecting the normal position will increase the volume of the percussion but also decrease the volume of the tones. This is called the voluem drop and you can disable it if you want, this is a known mod on real organs.
The percussion system relies on capacitors and they need a certain time to recharge once all keys have been released, this for example makes very fast repeated passages sound different with the percussion volume reduced a bit as it did not have enough time to recharge between each note.
We added two other mods, the "paradise" button that will prevent the percussion from decaying, or the "always on" that will play a percussion sound everytime you press a note.
Real Key Contact Modeling. There are 9 electric contacts under each key, and each of them produces a small click, but they don't all happen at the same time. Also, the intensity and timbre of each click depends on the phase of the tonewheel signal when the circuit is closed. We completely recreated this for version 3.
The progressive 9 contacts are now simulated with velocity, and the variation of timbre and volume is now based on the current phase of the tonegenerators. Organ Modifications. Every organ player likes to tweak their instrument, so all the modification that organists can do are available. There are many available organ modifications and they are not always done the same way, but we find out which were the most common ones and included them. All Three Keyboards. On a real organ there are 3 keyboards, two of which are almost identical except for the Percussion system, plus the Bass pedals.
You can choose to use 3 different MIDI channels, one for each keyboar,d or you can use Split to have all three on one keyboard. On a real organ, the Bass pedals drawbars are a fixed combination of 8 frequencies, but in the V3, we give you access to that mix and the first 12 tonewheels that produce complex tones can also be filtered out to be closer to a sine wave.
If you don't have pedals on your controller, you can also remove the bass foldback for the Upper and Lower manuals to access deep bass without them. The Upper and Lower manuals have been covered in depth, but an important part of Hammonds is often overlooked and it's the pedals. The pedals only have 2 drawbars, but each of them is actually a premix of tones and that pre mix, like anything on a hammond, varies greatly from organ to organ. Also a few different mods to access the low tones are quite common so we created a section dedicated to that in the preferences, here is what you can control from it: The string bass, its a feature that exists only in an add on, but that is used quite often, the pedal notes will not stop as soon as they are released, but will follow a sustain time.
That system is also mono, meaning that every new note will stop the previous one, this is often used for bass walkings. The Bass on lower or upper manual first octave will allow the usage of the first 11 bass tonewheels on the upper or lower manual, this is useful for players that don't have pedals or that just play the bass with their left hand. You can control the overall volume of the bass pedals. The first 11 bass tonewheels are not as close to a pure sine as the rest of the tonewheels, thay are called complex tonewheels and they already produce a mix of frequencies.
Organ players often prfer a sine sound and will add a capacitor to filter them. You can now do that in the B5 as well. As mentioned above, the pedal drawbars consist of a pre mix of tones, in the V3, we added to possibility to modify it to your liking, if you click on the small icon in the "bass manual settings" you will see two tabs representing the amount of each tone used for each drawbar.
In the version 3, we completely reworked the preset system. They are now global and will save everthing, but you still have access to around drawbar presets that you can load, save, delete or assign to the preset keys upper and lower , and these include the most used Jazz, Gospel and classical presets.
The preset keys Bleck Keys to the left of the range can also be customised and will allow you to easily change drawbar settings while playing. On the front interface, you can select any of the drawbar settings for each manual and move to the previous and next one by clicking on a button.
There is much more you can do here with these presets, if you click on the presets button, the preset panel will appears, and here you can choose your current drawbar setting, give it a name and add it to the preset list to be able to use it live.
You can even create your own preset list by removing or adding items or export and reload lists created by you or other users. There are also general presets that include every setting of the library that you can save and load without reloading the whole library, we included a selection of presets to get a good stating point and shape the sound in seconds.
To play with your settings live, you can go in the advanced preferences and assign a preset to each of the 12 key selectors just like on a real organ, the only difference is that you choose the settings here and don't have to rewire everything each time you want to change them.
MIDI assignment and controllers. To make things even easier, we included a few mapping presets for the most common organ clone controllers, this includes, the XK and SK series, all Nord keyboards, the Crumar, the HX3, the B4D and some others. We even included most tweaks required by some controllers like the inversion of the drawbar movement or the toggle for the leslie speed. The volume pedal is a crucial element when playing the organ and you have the possibility to adjust the curve and range of the volume and filter affected by the pedal.
