Vintage Motor Controller (VMC) for Leslie Speakers (v19-0214)
[email protected] - +1 (864) 843-4459
VMC-MIDI Configuration Options
The following diagram illustrates the configuration capabilities available with the VMC-MIDI.
Speed is controlled by a MIDI-enabled keyboard, with a console mounted switch, wired to the
MIDI IN
5-pin DIN connector on the VMC. Speed changes are sent over MIDI to the VMC, which
in turn controls the Leslie motors. The MIDI LED on the VMC will pulse to confirm
communication activity. Alternatively, speed can be controlled by a half-moon switch,
footswitch, or piano sustain pedal plugged into the
Switch In
¼” jack. This jack will override
speed changes from your MIDI keyboard.
The
MIDI OUT
on the VMC is a soft-thru connection. You can connect other equipment to be
controlled by your organ/keyboard, or it can be connected to a DAW for recording Leslie speed
changes that originated via MIDI, half-moon, footswitch, or sustain pedal.
Note:
The
Speed Control Switch
¼” jack is plugged to prevent accidental use. If this plug
is removed, anything plugged in to the
Speed Control Switch
will override MIDI controls.
