The slow leslie effect I use is the Casio DSP ' STEREO PHASER' which produces a more natural sounding slow leslie if you tweak it somewhat.ДЄnother cool thing to do is to layer this lower manual setting with some of the Casio synth patches. Plus I need a patch that will cover left hand bass, and so far I have not been able to make the drawbar organ do an upper lower manual ' split'.ДЄlso I don't use the default leslie sim.

This is because the percussion on the Casio isn't real good.

The main sound that I use is the lower manual '808000000' setting. I also have used the DRAWBAR ORGAN quite a bit. You could probably multi track a sax section with this and have it come off surprisingly well. I also like the VELOCITY FLUTE ( another go- to solo sound for me), and many of the saxophones which are also very good considering this is a 10 year old instrument. Some other great sounds on the Casio is its VIBRAPHONE, which records incredibly well. I practice on it all the time and because it is so light and small, it goes everywhere- and has taken one hell of a beating, but it still ticks. With a moderately good ( but not too good ) pair of phones, this thing sounds relatively amazing to me. I find that I like the Casio tremolo A LOT, and tend to prefer it to the ping pong pan effect that many EP emulations strive for ( ala Yamaha Motif etc.) It just has a sweet EP that sounds somewhere between a Rhodes and a Wurli. Out of the box it sounds OK but there are a couple things I did to it to make it really work for me.ДЇirst I knocked it down one octave in the edit mode and combined it with an ACOUSTIC BASS split, which I knocked down two octaves.

One of the go to sounds on the 6 is the TREMELO PIANO. I have used a 691 on many recordings, along with it's big brother, the WK 3000 which I have had for 3 or 4 years. Some snobs may cringe, but it depends on how deeply you may have gone into the editing. I have used it as much as any board I have ever had and have had as much fun with it as any instrument I have had. I got a Casio 5 octave CTK-691 roughly 10 years ago.
