On my Pa500 there was a terrific organ sound called ..
"Good old B"......when you pushed the joy stick the Leslie kicked in & it was pure heaven to listen to ....... I cant find it on my pa3x? .......on my new PA3x many of the Organs have a
"V" velocity activated next to their names which means you have to hit the keys harder to get a Leslie sound ....
I hate this as I like to manually activate the Leslie ....
"OLD WHEELS" is a pretty good one for now..

In your opinion what is there a sound close to a real Hammond B3 with a manual Leslie you can turn on with the joystick on the PA3x?..or do you have to use the drawbars?

The only way to get a B3 organ on your Korg is by using this:

TWdude.....those are some very nice B3 demos for sure.....really enjoyed listening.....thats some serious gear there for sure thanx for the link.

... nice price, too ... $1700.00 USD

Yep... I sure wish KeyB had made something similar to the Voce V5, at closer to the sub-$1000 price point. To be honest, most keyboard players adding a B3 module to their existing rig don't need the full double drawbars and pedal bars setup.

I think the KeyB is one of the best B3 sims I've heard so far. Here's hoping they don't go TOO 'purist', and take a look at what is PRACTICAL for most keyboard players that aren't full on B3 players.

They are totally purist - except the weight part. Actually the Voce was designed by the same guy years ago.

I asked him once why he had two A100 clones on the original KeyB Duo. He said one was a chop and because the resistance wires are lengthened it gave it a nice sound that was a little different. You have to be a total Hammond geek to get this level of attention to detail.

Well, if he designed the V5, perhaps he'll put a single drawbar set out... I still have mine, and through a Motion Sound tube top spinner, it's still pretty good. He sold a boatload of those V5's.

I will mention it to him.

The main thing is the form factor. The V5 is small enough to fit onto the top panel of my G70 (and most keyboards have enough room somewhere) where I can easily get at it while I'm playing the controller.

TBH, to save a chunk of money, I might be OK with him dropping the audio inputs.... sure, might be nice to route a guitar patch through the Leslie sim, but I can do that internally sort of adequately. And A/D converters always add to the base cost.

The big module might have been a good marketing step from the keyboards... get the most you can to start off! But I have a feeling it's going to be a V5 sized module that will prove the really big seller.

This may or may not be helpful since I'm new on Arrangers - LOL actually I'm new on Keyboards!

I found on the Pa600 there are Factory and Legacy settings. If I choose Organ and Legacy the Leslie effect will engage using the joystick with many of the organ selections (e.g. Perc Short Decay and BX3 Short Decay). Pushing the joystick up will engage the Leslie, pushing it up again will slow it down, and pushing it down doesn't seem to have any effect on the Leslie.

Hope the Pa3X has a similar Legacy setting.
