Organ gliss coolness

[jaspeter]

I thought I'd share a little tidbit that made me giddy today.  Apologies to the vets that may have already known about this, but I was pretty excited about it.

I wanted to be able to do a distortion organ glissando starting from the low, low end to the high, for kind of a "roaring" effect.  When I used the sustain pedal, it way overpowered it into a noisy din.  Without the sustain, it was more boring than "roaring".  I thought I'd extend the release part of the envelope for that zone, which had the desired effect for the glissando, but muddied up anything else I wanted to play.

 

Then I realized you can assign the sustain pedal to CC72: Release.  You still have to set the envelope release in Tone Edit - Amp, but then you set the Pedal1 Target to CC72, and the Min and Max to 0 and some max value, respectively.  I'm guessing the max value, say 100, will give you 100/127 of the value you entered in the Tone Edit - Amp for the release.  Now, the sustain pedal will only hold for the extended release instead of indefinitely.  Cool!

where do you change the pedal assignment? I'd like to change my organs to leslie speed toggle

It's in stage setting > common edit >pedal1 edit

BTW, I would like that stage setting OP, if you read this.

[jaspeter]

Which setting, dc2k?

[dc2k]

one which uses the control you were talking about.

[jaspeter]

Ah. I don't think I ever uploaded one. I just used one of the preset distortion organ tones and applied those changes I mentioned to a stage setting with otherwise generic properties.

In the meantime, I found out that effect is more practically implemented by using your whole hand to do a "palm gliss" rather than just the fingertips to do a regular glissando. Although, there are still other instances in which it is handy to be able to change the envelope parameters on the fly.

no worries, thanks for the info.

I'll try and follow your instructions some time.
