Control rotor speed of Leslie Studio 12 via C2D footpedal

[jarost1]

I have a C2D and a Leslie Studio 12W. They sound fantastic together, of course.
When not using the real Leslie Studio 12 I use the Nord Leslie sim just like everybody else. And I control fast-slow with the sustain pedal.

The Studio 12W does not have a 6-pin Leslie input, only 1/4 line level. So the speed control (fast/slow/stop) of a Leslie Studio 12 is via a (1/4 inch TRS) Leslie pedal. It is not controlled by the Nord.

In case anyone else has the luxury of using the C2D with a real Leslie, the real Leslie doesn’t do well with the simulated Leslie input. Turning OFF the Leslie sim in the Nord solves this perfectly. Just turn it off entirely and the real Leslie/C2D combination is as good as my B3 and 122.

However, I would like to simultaneously use and record the MIDI output of the C2D to control a B3 plugin, at the same time that I play the real Leslie, including the fast-slow data. So is there a way to get the Leslie Studio 12 to respond to the MIDI fast-slow data? That would be the best. OR how can I record the fast-slow actions of the Leslie pedal for use in the software B3 ?

Tough question

MIDI Solutions Relay could be what you need https://www.midisolutions.com/prodrel.htm but it has only 1 relay per unit over a TS jack, so it will only switch the Tip-Sleeve contact e.g. Slow/Fast; to manage a TRS you would need 2 units and also a Y (stereo male to 2x mono female) adapter cable

The alternative is go into DIY using an Arduino or a similar platform, like they did on this project https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/ ... c=112424.0

PS: MIDI Solutions also provides an 8x version of that MIDI Relay https://www.midisolutions.com/prodr8.htm but not a 2x
