As a new convert to korg I have a couple of questions. 1. I play the organ sounds a lot and prefer to use the rotary sound (fast / slow) as a switch on the joystick than the touch option. Can I change this on those that currently change using velocity?
2 Is it possible to add / change the after touch settings of sounds. I like to use this feature and would like to assign the vibrato to violin, trumpet etc to aftertouch. How do I do this?

Thanks
Warren

Thank you for your answer. I realised that I was not reading the full manual .. just the quick setup. Re the Rotary sound effect, a most of the factory samples are using velocity to switch the fast/slow sound. I find that even as a 40+ year veteran my touch is not able to control this feature. I wish to change the switching from velocity to joystick. The book does say it can be done, (from page 381 ) but how?? any advice very welcome.

Doesn't the Korg have a modeled B3 mode? With virtual drawbars, percussion, chorus/vibrato and a Leslie sim?

Why is anyone using those old velocity-switched sampled organs when you have one of those?

Might be better to say it this way:

If the Korg has a modeled B3 mode, with virtual drawbars, percussion, chorus/vibrato and a Leslie sim, wouldn't it be better to use that than the unnatural preset organs with velocity-switched sampled organs?

I agree that the way they have those organs set up in the Performances are close to useless. And it might be easier to just not use them than to try to edit them into a useful condition.

For someone who fails to acknowledge that other people are perfectly within their rights to not care about whether the old fill modes are gone to criticize my phrasing is typical!

It's a perfectly legitimate question, unlike your self-appointed moderator status, sieben.

If you haven't anything to add to the thread other than criticism of my wording, how about you just leave well alone?

It rather seems to be a sign of self-appointed moderator status like you judge who is perfectly within his rights here.

What features of a device someone wants to use is a personal choice - no judge is needed to insult one if using that features one likes to use.

Its you constantly qualifying each other not in your opinion - and that is vicious and unnecessary. Maybe your skill level is high - be proud but silent.

It is possible to set up Organs to have them switch effects using STS's.

Thanks for the help. From this discussion I (an experienced Yamaha keyboard and organist) have learnt about the Korg way, and how it makes some of its sounds. I never realised that the were separate samples that were triggered by the velocity. I do like the sounds but not the trigger so will now choose the correct voice for my requirements.

Well, thanks, sieben for demonstrating your inability to grasp even basic English. You had, in your original post here, absolutely NOTHING to add to the conversation other than your tiresome vendetta against everything I post.

The point I was making is that, when a digital drawbars mode exists, and sounds better than the sampled ones (I can only presume you have never played a real B3 if you think the sampled velocity cross-switched ones are anything other than a throwback to the days before decent B3 emulation existed on arrangers), and the original question referred to the difficulty of not being able to use a switch to go between the sampled speeds because they want to use the aftertouch for vibrato on other sounds, there is the solution to what he wants to do!

The digital drawbars allow a variety of switch sources to ramp between fast and slow speed. Yet another advantage, because there is nothing realistic about a Hammond (or any other organ through a spinning speaker) going abruptly from fast to slow. Not to mention how each note, due to sample transposition, is 'spinning' at a different rate to all the other notes. Again, nothing like a Leslie'd organ.

It struck me that, with a digital drawbar mode available, all his problems are solved by skipping the legacy sampled organs, and moving on to the far more realistic B3 mode.

Of course, I don't expect you to care much about that. You have a petty point to make, and don't really seem to care about what the OP was asking (as usual). So, continue to snipe. You honestly think I care?

How about actually HELPING, for a change? If you think it is insulting to point out a better solution to a problem, you have much to learn... I don't chase around the forum insulting YOU. How about returning the favor? Or aren't you big enough to do that? This has got tiresome, sieben.
