After playing my Kronos for some months now, I was thinking:

For the CX-3 organ, you can set the rotary on the jostick (Y+) or on the control surface (know Cool

. When you push knob 8 it lights up, telling you that the rotary is set to fast. But if you use the joystick (I often do this in live situations), you really need to listen to know if the rotary is fast or slow. In a massive chorus this could be hard with all drums, bass and guitars playing along.

What if know 8 was lit up when you touch the joystick? Maybe a new software update could make this happend?

For live usage, I use SW2 instead of JS Y+, so I can see immediately on the led of SW2 if the rotor is fast or slow. And this way you can use a foot switch too (I use a Behringer btw).

Is just a simple switch pedal sufficient? Or a variable pedal?

I use a foot switch. Just a cheap sustain style pedal. In my blues band where I'm using a lot of organ sounds. For my heavy band I'm using the joystick but I think I'm going to change it to using SW-2. Sometimes in the heat of the moment I accidentally bend notes a bit with the joy-stick. Ooopsy! I'm sure that nobody but me notices but then isn't that the important part?

Thanks for the clarification (My Kronos was switched of so I couldn't check my settings).

You can also use the AMS Mixer to set up some exotic routings and combinations of controllers to switch the rotary affect. I have set it up to use the damper pedal and the joystick when using an organ/piano layed combi.

You're right. I never actually thought of that! Duh!

Thanks Stephen!

After playing Hammond organs for over 30 years, I spent 2 weeks a while back setting up the Kronos to sound as close to a Hammond and L122 as I could.

In order to keep things consistent, I use a footswitch with an LED for the rotary speaker. This allows for no-hands toggling and you can see what status the rotary speaker is in. I also assign SW1 for vibrato, SW2 for percussion and in Tone Adjust Mode the sliders for drawbars. If you create 12 programs you can have every combination of vibrato/chorus and percussion that are on a real Hammond.

Putting these 12 programs on a set list gives you 4 more custom setting slots and instant access to all of them; actually faster than what you can do on a real Hammond. I have found that this is all the Hammond programs I need, so I was able to free up over 100 program slots.

Hi JP,

sounds interesting. Would you mind sharing your programs as PCG - either here or at www.korgpatches.com ?

JP, that sounds like a great idea. In my blues band having that kind of control would be great. Most of what I do there is Hammond emulation.

Thanks
