I just finished the 8 drawbars. but when you change values while the sound is playing you can hear a small clik
Hammond did not introduce the so-called "silent" drawbar until the mid-50s. If you ever owned a B2 or early B3, that click is there also. I think I could live with that. Besides, there is nothing we can do about that, as it is likely hard coded into the way the SD2 works.
the rotor effect can be access only by sysex
I am trying to send it. Slow/fast/off
Here is a copy and paste of the info I received directly from engineers at Ketron Italy about the use of rotor effect and drawbars that may be of assistance to you (forgive the translation errors, the fellow did a pretty good job considering, I think)
..In order to select ROTOR ( or Leslie ) you have to use firstly this EXCLUSIVE strings
TYPE EFFECTS CHANNEL ASSIGN
F0H 26H 7BH 0BH 00H Chan Type F7H ------------- F0 26 7B 0B 00 02 01 F7 then send CC30 at 0, 64 or 127
Chan: 00H - 1FH Type: 0 = no effects 3 = Chorus
1 = Leslie 4 = Delay
3) 2 = Distorsor
on CHAN you have to select which track you would use than on TYPE select 1 (Leslie )
Dont forget
.Leslie or Rotor work instead of Chorus ( or Distortion or Delay as showed on page 44 )
You've apparently already got the drawbars figured out, but I'll include what he sent me anyway, might make for a good crosscheck for you or the like:
DRAWBARS SELECTION
Controller 0 Value 67 Bank MSB Program Change 0
Drawbar Controller: 20 = 16 Value: 0-127 24 = 2 2/3 Value: 0-127 28 = percussion 4 Value: 0-127
21 = 8 Value: 0-127 25 = 2 Value: 0-127 29 = percussion 2 2/3 Value: 0-127
22 = 5 1/3 Value: 0-127 26 = 1 3/5 Value: 0-127
23 = 4 Value: 0-127 27 = 1 Value: 0-127
I.E ( in order to send a drawbars data 16- 8- 4)
Controller 0 value 67 Controller 20 value 127 (16) Controller 23 value 127 (4)
Program change 0 Controller 21 value 127 (8)
..no needs an hexadecimal value ..but simple Controllers
what about the 2 types of percussion. What do u think is the best? 1 knob for the volume and a switch for 4 - 2 2/3?
I think slider is easier to use while playing than a mouse-controlled knob, but either would work. The original B3 Perc has only Soft and Normal toggle. The Trek II add-on percussion kit on my B2 has a volume slider instead. I like that feature.
The Hammond B3 has a rocker switch that selects between the two Percussion types, 4 or 2-2/3 --on the real B3 they are labeled as Third or Second, referring to the Harmonic. You could label your virtual switch the same, I should think.
The B also has a Decay switch, which changes the time the percussive note sounds. I don't think we have that on the Ketron.
HTH,
And you've got mail from jinglesmith. Me.
