Does that mean that the setBfree's whirl emulation beats the Kurzweil Leslie, while the Kurzweil-B3 sounds more realistic than setBfree's tonewheel synth, or is this just /differently/ realistic? Is there anything notable that you would change in setBfree? One thing that B3 players regularly mention is that setBfree's drawbars are by default not [yet] like the real thing. Some of the stops (IIRC 3 to 5) are too soft. That's part of ongoing research and tweaks. Another thing are signal-leakages, they differ depending on age maintenance, custom wiring,... Those are configurable in setBfree and now also easily accessible. I don't have access to a B3 (nor a Kurzweil) to compare, but I heard from various people who do, that setBfree is very close to the real thing; assuming you mic it, of course. Nothing compares to sitting next to a real Leslie :) Either way, it's a nice option to have. Modular setups are cool, and more diversity in sound is a good thing. Do you think it makes sense to include those files with the upstream setBfree? The PK3 may make sense, but not all distros ship Carla. best, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
