Price is right. I've never had one, but I've had other cheap brands, Kaysound seems to be right in line with them, value-wise. _________________ Voxfest VI, Memorial weekend 2008, Emmett MI 48022.

Yeah, typical. Hey, when you move the pitch wheel, does it respond immediately? I had a Miditech controller where the wheels and knobs were just useless, they responded so slowly... _________________ Voxfest VI, Memorial weekend 2008, Emmett MI 48022. PREPARE TO JAM!

Thast's not the controller, that's the synth. On a QS or a B4, it DOES work like a Leslie. The QS, you may have to program to get that, but most of the Hammond presets already have it. _________________ Voxfest VI, Memorial weekend 2008, Emmett MI 48022. PREPARE TO JAM!

If you really want a leslie sound, you hafta go to leslie, or motion sound at the very least. _________________ Bdgr is totally correct. Kev- Zlurgh concedes that Bdgr rules in the practical world.

It sends a moid wheel change message, and the synth does whatever it's programmed to do when it gets a mod wheel change message. B4's speed up the Leslie, and so do QS's in Leslie mode. You'll get used to thinking this way soon. _________________ Voxfest VI, Memorial weekend 2008, Emmett MI 48022. PREPARE TO JAM!

Sorry. Alesis QS-8 (or 7, or 6.1, or 6.2, or 7.1, or 8.1, or 8.2, or R). An 8.1 is my main rig. And Native Instruments B-4 is a software clone of a Hammond B-3.
