I use the brake a lot, especially when soloing. Other than Leslie bindings, the brake switching has always been a 1st choice part of my bindings. There are several comments in this thread about brake bindings from a few years ago, so this is not a new subject. Glad you are learning though
My mod wheel, of course, runs the fast/slow. I created a parameter binding for the brake button to be assigned to my lowest key on my controller, but it could be assigned to most anything. Another beauty of C3.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I would think it possible to assign the brake to mod wheel values at center. Just haven’t looked into yet.
Hi All,
There have been calls for a way to make the IK Leslie speed switch and brake switch from a single mod wheel that behaves nicely with the brake at center area of the mod wheel. @Corky first spoke of it and he was right, it can be done in C3. I got to looking at it and came up with this solution using Cantabile bindings. The first thing to consider is that you want the bindings to be the only source of CC data to the Leslie plugin so delete any automatically created input routes from the…
@terrybritton … thanks. I got my first abstraction rack up and running yesterday. Small one, just covers the piano pedals (sustain, soft, sostenuto), but soft and sostenuto doubles as leslie fast/slow and brake, so really a neat way to handle these when having both piano and hammond in the song. That was a nice trick to learn.
As a Hammond guy, I’m so used to playing organ with a half-moon Leslie switch that I hate playing without one, so I usually try to engineer something to retrofit to all my live keyboards. My current gigging board is an Arturia Keylab 88 Essential, a great board but the Mod wheel is located at the extreme top left of the keyboard and that’s just too out of the way for Leslie switching, especially when you’re also playing bass with the left.
