Certainly no epiphany here but, I was just fooling around last Sat, not that I do anything else, I like to layer different sounds on top of each other to play live during a jam session or just f-in around to a beat or whatever. This is the B2003 with an EP underneath that I tried to set up to only come thru when I struck the keys at a higher velocity. Have no idea how this will sound on any of your systems as I currently have no studio monitors but hey, sounds ok on my cheesey computer spks. (also cheesey 25 or 6 to 4 chords)
(Never really happy with my percussion settings on the B2003 that's why I tried it layered with the EP and rather liked it)
Anyway being all foot spastic I had to go back and manually toggle the leslie back and forth. Just curious - never having played the real B3 - anyone know if there was some sort of adjustment you could make to adjust how fast the rotors speed up or slow down? To me the sound rocks the most during the transition and it seems to me it would be cool to extend it out a little more.

Peter Cetara would have been proud.

You have controls over the most detailed parts of the Leslie on the ADD page of the B2003.
I'd be happy to help you with a preset or 2 if you want.
I have used and still use rotary cabinets since I was a 12 year old punk w/ a Farfisa and Leslie.
I changed the servco motors tapped the tubes for extra distortion, tweaked the percussion wheel, etc.etc. So I made the B2003 respond just like the hardware.
The Coders did an excellent job on the B2003 but I changed it to what I like.
The stock settings had the Bass baffle speed settings not creating a wide enough doppler effect so I changed them, and the balance was set so the Bass was too wobbly as if it mic'd too close.
So your ears haven't decieved you as you obviously have listened to Greg Allman whose accellarations are exactly what I copied since it was his Leslie I was using back in the '70's.
We did our show and then came back out with Tyrone Shoelace as we called him and did his show too. Those were good days, CS80, Oberheim, ARP and Moog everywhere around me and even someone to carry my shit...........
pm me for Skyping or try a few custom presets I recently finished for a gig where I won't use my rotary cabinets.

And BTW the jams were cool. Not bad for a white guy...

hahaha LMFAO!!! Talk about being fat, dumb and happy! here I've been playing that thing for years and never thought to click on that add button. Well I guess every town has to have a village idiot right? Once again thanks for your useful insight. Hey I'll def get up with you would love to try those presets. Ahh, yes Greg Allman - my first gig I played Mem of Eliz Reed on my yamaha sk20, not even in the same catagory as a Hammond but at least I could carry it myself. I spent years trying to get that thing to sound like a B3 - what little I knew back then.

Thanks JV
