Instrument Types
New digital technology has now made it possible to recreate the Doppler effect without using moving parts.
This technology has been incorporated into the M-solo. The following paragraphs explain how the internal
digital Leslie of your Hammond M-solo works.
LESLIE buttons
These three buttons allow you to control the internal digital Leslie.
NOTE: The digital Leslie affects the B-3, Vx, Farf and Ace Instrument Types.
BYPASS
When this button is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Drawbars will sound through the internal Leslie channel.
Pressing the BYPASS button "ON" (LED lit) will change the sounds produced by the Drawbars from the
Leslie channel to the stationary channel. The effect is similar to the sound produced by a vintage
Hammond Organ being played through a Hammond speaker cabinet such as a PR-40.
STOP
When this button is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Leslie effect is that of an acoustic Leslie Speaker cabinet with
the rotors turning either slowly (Chorale) or Fast (Tremolo). Pressing the LESLIE STOP button "ON" (LED
lit) will cause the Leslie rotors to stop turning.
FAST
The speed of the rotors of the internal digital Leslie depends upon the position of the LESLIE FAST button.
When this button is "OFF" (LED not lit) and the STOP button is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Leslie effect is that
of an acoustic Leslie Speaker cabinet with the rotors turning slowly (Chorale). Pressing the LESLIE FAST
button "ON" (LED lit) will cause the Leslie effect to speed up and rotate fast (Tremolo).
When this button is "OFF" (LED not lit) and the STOP button is "ON" (LED lit), the Leslie effect is that of
an acoustic Leslie Speaker cabinet with the rotors not turning. Pressing the LESLIE FAST button "ON" (LED
lit) will cause the Leslie effect to speed up and rotate fast (Tremolo).
