controlling the speaker
from another instrument via
MIDI
Your Leslie Speaker gives you the capability to control the Leslie parameters (Slow Speed, Fast Speed,
Rise Time, Fall Time, Brake Time, Horn Resonance, Microphone Angle, Microphone Distance) via
MIDI. The Low Rotor is controlled through software via DSP, while the Horn Rotor uses a special
brushless DC motor which responds to incoming MIDI Controller data. Below is an example of how to
do this.
In this way:
1.
Non-Hammond keyboards such as synthesizers, MIDI master keyboards, etc., can
control the rotors and sound of this Leslie Speaker without going through the 11-pin
Leslie interface.
2.
Hammond Organ models which have Leslie parameter controls in the Information
Center Display such as XB-1, XK-2, XE-1, CMS-100-series, A-305, and XT/XH-series
home organs can control the rotors and sound characteristics of the Leslie Speaker in
addition to the built-in digital Leslie simulator.
NOTE:
In order for the above to work, the MIDI NRPN must be “ON.” Please consult the Owner’s Playing
Guide for your instrument for instructions on how to do this.)

Example of Controlling the Advanced Features of the Leslie via MIDI
The example below applies to all the Advanced Features. The XK-2 screens are shown; however, the
related screens of the Hammond XB-1, XM-1, XT/XH-series, XE-1, CMS-100 series and A-305 will
also control the Advanced Features. The example shown is Slow Speed.
TRY THIS:
1.
Turn MIDI NRPN “ON” using the MIDI Edit Menu of your organ.
2.
Select the Advanced Feature you want to change. For this example, we will use Slow
Speed.
