Can you hear the Leslie even if you don't play anything?

Post by Westside Ryan »

Howdy,
I just got my C2D and was wondering if you are supposed to be able to hear the Leslie spinning even if you don't have any keys depressed (maybe leakage)?
Also, I was wondering how to do a factory reset?
Thanks much!

If the organ patch you're playing uses the B3 model of the older, neglected B3, you will hear the Leslie spinning even with no note being played, just like an older, neglected B3. It's in the owner's manual.

Thanks, I just figured that out! This organ kicks @ss! I love that you can mute the 9th drawbar when the perc is on as well!

I haven't got very far learning to drive my C2D yet. There are lots of options to look at, and as you can see (or hear, rather) they do seem to have been implemented logically. If you run out of things to tweak, you can always trade it in for an XK3C, which will give you even more stuff like this to fiddle about with. I did consider the Hammond route, but even when I got my unexpected windfall, I did n't have enough to get a full two manual job with pedals and stands, plus I really wanted the baroque organ on the C2D. If I were a B3 player pure and simple, I might have gone Hammond one manual at a time, but now I have the Nord, I know I made the right choice, for me at any rate.

I had a XK3c for a little while and I think that the Nord is superior and more practical.

Try to use the delay to recreate the chambers in a Leslie.
