On a previous post, I was swithering whether to trade in my Orla Ringway or add to it. I have decided to keep it.
I will use it with virtual software plus I have also just bought from ebay, a Hammond XM-1 and Hammond XM1-C Organ MODULE.
Below is a little demo. Sounds good to me,
I hope I can set it up, I have seen one post saying he can't get his swell pedal to work and another saying he can't get his bass pedals to work
but I have seen videos of it working properly on an organ.
I may be asking for assistance should I encounter problems when I get it.

Main issue - as it is with all things MIDI, including any virtual organs - is getting MIDI channels to match.

The usual defaults should be: Upper-1, Lower-2, Pedals - 3 and Solo/Keysplit Lower - 4. Things like CC11, expression data usually sent from the volume pedal, sometimes needs to be on channel 1, sometimes on channel 16.

The XM1 was a good sounding module in its day, I had one here for a while on long term test. I rather liked it. But you might find that the later virtual Hammonds, like VB3, actually do a better sound. Mind you, you have those real pushy-pully things on the XM1C, which is a lot easier than sliding them on screen.

If you have problems, just shout!

Hi

Good luck with this - it looks interesting. I definitely prefer real drawbars for Hammond control - but then, I've been known to adjust them whilst playing to get certain effects.

Every Blessing

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the offer to help, I am dreading trying to set it up. I never seem to get any midi stuff to work properly without experiencing an awful lot of grief in the process.
I have a feeling that I will be getting back to you on this at some point.
Cheers,
Brian.
