RE: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Best B3/Leslie patches

2005-10-05 by EXT-Schurr, Larry A

A Casio through a Leslie sounds more like a B3 than a Hammond through a
motionless PA speaker.
 
This whole deal hits home for me.
My main axe is a homebuilt FrankenClone based on a Voce V3and runs
through my homebrew Bride of FrankenLeslie speaks (the rig description
is long ;-)  I have a micro-B and micro-BII, also but they don't get out
much.  In Frank is also a Kurzweil microPiano.
 
I throw the VFX-SD on top for all the great synth sounds that Frank
doesn't do, so getting a B3 on the Ensoniq isn't gonna get it for me ;-)
 
If a guy hadda MS pro3, then the microB should sound dandy and give you
more flexibility than relying strictly on the VFX.  I'm sure there's one
or two "Hammond sounds" the VFX can do better, but overall, I'd give the
nod to the microB.  Add on a set of Voce drawbars and it'll become REAL
apparent.

	Bill,
	 
	I have a Micro B II and the sounds are good (GOOD). I found that
I use my ensoniq settings (both SD-1 and TS) and not the Voce unit. In
my opinion the real sound of the B-3 is found more in the Leslie, than
in the sample/patch. I picked up a motion sound pro3tm (it has a
rotating horn) and using stock patches veterans in my band jaws dropped.
For what it's worth,

		What are the best B3 w/ Leslie patches you guys have
come up w/? I'm 
		looking for factory or modified factory patches. Has
anyone done any 
		tweaking and created a better mousetrap?
		
		If not, what is a good B3 emulation that is affordable?
I just lost a 
		Voce Micro-B II on ebay for $240 - is that the most bang
for the buck?
