Hi group.

Reading the interesting thread (leslie pedal help) I found an other interesting opinion:

I hope you think about a stable switch, minimum like the real halfmoon on the console hammonds?!
I'm just a beginner, but I really don't feel good if I stand up playing and have to reach with one foot the expression pedal and also look for the d*@#! leslie switch with the other foot.

I believe all clones have something like the CX-3 leslie controls: on/off, start/stop, slow/fast.
Smearing up and down, changing to synth and back: I often hit the wrong button of this three! It would be nice to have a halfmoon-clone solution (MIDI, or control-in?) with the 3 standard functions (positions): slow/stop/fast. A stable big switcher with slow/fast would also work for most of my music.

OK, but I still like the other solution when I'm playing sitting on the bench: a momentary footswitch with released:slow and pressed:fast.
I tried several gear but nothing worked. And, sorry folks: I didn't understand all this CC# MIDI stuff in the thread. (Well, I know what MIDI is and how MIDI works, I've read many books ;-]] But I never made complicated changes to my instruments.)
Please help a beginner: What exactly do I change in the setting and what type of switch do I connect to the CX-3? Or was it the lower manual? Thanks for help.

Bye, Vali
