Subject:Re: Connecting a VK-7 to a Leslie 147?

Actually, the 122 is the 6pin leslie. The VK7 has an 11 pin socket. There is a kit obtainable from your Hammond/Leslie dealer or Hammond licensed repairman called the "1122 kit" that is a box that goes between your clone and the leslie. It has the 11 pin connection on one side and the 6 pin on the other (with a pigtail) and an AC cord. I used this for awhile with my XK2 and my VK7 and it worked wonderfully, allowing fast and slow speed selection from the keyboard, but not brake (as the 122 doesn't have brake mode). I mounted the 1122 kit inside the leslie, and connected the 6 pin pigtail right to the amp, and dangled about 6" of ac cord out so that I could just hook it up to an extension cord. They run roughly $125 news, and are only available through licensed Hammond techs and dealers. Well worth the investment.

Hello listfolk,

I'm brand new here. I have a Roland VK-7 and a Leslie 145. I also have a
Trek-II preamp. However, I would prefer to connect to VK-7 directly to the 145
amp, and forgo the use of the Trek-II. Why? Because then I could use the
rotary fast/slow switches on the VK-7 to control the Leslie. More importantly, I
could use MIDI to control the Leslie.

Does anyone know how to connect the VK's Leslie 122 output to the 145's
six-pin connector? I'm good with electronics, so don't be shy with the nut 'n
bolts stuff.

Best regards,
Michael Bacich
