"Yesterday My nord c2d and leslie 3300 arrived and is now installed in my musicroom."

What a great rig! Everything hooked right up through the 11-pin cable and went to work?

Yes the only ting to do was to choose half moon in the control setting and to turn of the sim speakers.

I have not tried to play the pipeorgan thrue the leslie yet. That sound is not routed through the 11pin. I think that sound only goes through 1/4' and headphones.

Routing the pipe to the high out is on the wish list ;)

"I have not tried to play the pipeorgan thrue the leslie yet."

Since I use the L or R outs to feed my rotary horn (Motion Sound Pro3X) I can route the "pipe organ" to it. And I can't say it adds much to the "pipe organ" that I find positive, or maybe I haven't found a pipe organ registration which will be enhanced by leslie effect. Seems like a lot of what the Leslie supplies (reflection, AM, FM) would already be in the samples.

Leslie 3300 is a leslie and a 15' keyboard amp (stop mode) perfect for ex a moog. This mode would be perfect for the pipeorgan (not the Rotary effect) if you play with pedals.

The only bad thing with the leslie 3300 is that if you play at home the beast nearly blow the Windows and the light bulbs. It plays very very loud. How to crank best at low volume?

Pipe organ does not benefit in my ears from the leslie effect. Perhaps from a very slow chorale to give more reflections

"Perhaps from a very slow chorale to give more reflections"

Between what's in the samples, and the amount of reverb on most of the "pipe organ" programs. I hear almost no difference on Chrorale. In a good PO installation, only 1/3 of the sound goes directly to the listener's ears, the rest is delivered by reflection, or so Audsley says. The Hammond organ (uh oh, here goes!) is sort of an 'Emperor's New Clothes' kind of instrument. The way you play it, the way it's amplified, is all about keeping that wise-ass kid from saying "but really, it's just a bunch of ugly buzzing noises and a whole lotta dirt and spurious harmonics". That wouldn't be good.
