I have a rack for B5 + IK, but it would be easier to incorporate it into Dave’s rack, which wouldn’t be hard to do. That way you could use rack states to change between IK, and B5 resident Leslie with one touch of a switch.
Do you have IK Leslie?

Sounds good ! I will definitely give a try to the IK Leslie. I started an upgrade for B5 v. 2.5 from Dave’s presets. It s gonna take à while since I chose the very old school way : i-e screen shots to the B5 interface older version to édit it thé same way in the 2.5 upgrade. It will save my CPU average.

If I am understanding you correctly, you are going to work off screenshots to transfer settings from older versions of B5?
If so, save yourself a lot of trouble and save them as C3 presets, then you can import them into newer version 2.5.2. Most of them will transfer over, especially 2.0 to 2.5.2.

Thanks Corky because I was about to show everybody how much I m an idiot ! :sweat_smile:

I do that all the time…but forum members expect it of me. :smirk:
Not to worry :+1:

Hi Janot, @Pierrick

I posted a 2.5 update yesterday so check out the thread here

Might save a lot of time …

Dave

Oh, my dear Dave ! What wonderful news during these curious times ! Thank you so so much.

Not yet but I ll have a look… Maybe better distorsions through its cabinets settings ?

Yes. I think I have an example posted. Lemme check.

I made an example, just so you could hear the difference from one setting of B5. I could have adjusted EQ and such, but just let it ride as it was. Used a mini keyboard on my lap, and it kept trying to fall into the floor. :roll_eyes:

The dirt in B5 is not as good as Ik. I can get it much dirtier, with IK, but I just used a standard setting. The B5 setting was off their own presets. I can do much better on B5 with my own settings…just saying.

Then there is always B3-X (drowning in reverb). IK Leslie built in.

Hey Corky, your demo samples are so cool ! IK Leslie sounds absolutely amazing ! And your B5 preset is all I like in organ. Congratulations again. I am so pleased to have discovered this forum. Yesterday night, I built a New C3 rack from your Deep Purple preset shared. It is absolutely brilliant.

Last request please : Is there a way to save different presets from a same rack dedicated to each song ? For instance : Song 1 = Deep Purple preset / Song 2 = Pink Floyd preset and so on.

If I am understanding…Yes. I have a B3-X rack with all my presets. They are selected by rack state. When a song is loaded, it automatically selects a saved state for that song. The preset for that particular song will be ready on load.

If you want that B5 preset, I can send it to you.

Thanks Corky ! Good news ! That is exactly what I was thinking about with Rack States. All right if you validate this option. Does it mean that any preset will change instantly when I ll hit the button to switch between rack States ? I guess it will with a preloaded rack…

I am going to buy IK Leslie right now thanks to your perfect soundclips ! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: It sounds so good ! Is it easy to share IK Leslie presets ? And how do you manage to turn off B5 Rotary from Acoustic Samples, please ? Sorry but I feel so enthusiastic following your clever keyboardist investigations. So I am surfing on the wave.

Oh yes, my Lord ! Especially if you refer to B5 preset from your Soundclips :ok_hand::musical_keyboard:

Yes…BUT, with B5, if your preset changes Hammond model, it will take a few seconds to load…so, not instant. That has been a problem with B5 since day one. Some of my presets have different models, mainly for different tones I can’t get with the same model. Again, only a few seconds. The best thing is, if B5 rack is preloaded, it responds very quickly.

Yes…just like anything else. Load preset into IK rack, just like you’ve been doing.

On the Leslie page, switch rotary to DI. My “B5 + IK” presets have that item taken care of. There will be an IK preset along side of the B5 preset.

@Pierrick

Here is the B5 preset you wanted.

Thanks again, Corky. I downloaded the famous IK Leslie demo T Rack 5, then easily played B5 shared presets. It is fantastic ! You guided me in front of the Heaven s doors ! A great révolution in this virtual world !
