EZK Session Organ Rock Lord Rotary Not Working

[Brent Hudyma]

This EZK Session Organ is going to be great on my rock songs. But I found that the Rock Lord setting won’t allow me to add the rotary. My mouse pointer turns to a hand when I hover above it, but won’t activate anything. Maybe this was intentional, but I would doubt it. Did a reboot and all, but nothing changed. The other rock settings are great. Going to love this. Good work Toontrack.

I don’t think that there is any Leslie active in that preset. It is instead played through an amplifier.

I think the setting is intentional to represent Jon Lord “In Rock” days where he didn’t use a Leslie.

Yes, John Lord “In Rock” style. Makes sense. Thanks all.

some research – wasn’t just not using the Leslie… more often just the vibrato and chorus + the Marshall amp 🙂

It was a Gibson Maestro Ring Modulator taped to the Hammond. The audio was taken from the organ’s AO-28 preamp connected to one “G” terminal and Ground and plugged into the Maestro, then that audio was sent to separate amps and Marshall stacks, NOT the Leslie. The organ audio was split to the Leslie so Jon could mix but he liked the straight, non Leslie rotary sound for heavy distortion. Without that same Hammond AO-28 tube preamp audio source, and tube amps, you won’t get the same distorted sound. Hammond XK-3, SX series, VST, or other clone simulations and solid state preamp/amps don’t produce the same analog audio. I have tied in many Hammond preamps to every type of effect. Jon adjusted the Maestro controls each time he set it up based on the specific amp and speakers it was connected to at that moment.

Don Airey used a Moog ring modulator, called a Moogerfooger so that may be a better option. There are many ways to get a similar sound today, but the audio input is key.
