Greetings. I have 2 Hammond clone drawbar units and a stomp box Neo Ventilator digital Leslie. I run both Hammond clones into seperate channels.

I want to put the Neo digi leslie box in the mixer somehow, run the 2 Hammond clones into it, and from there to the main mix. Probably a 3rd channel? There are many good organ patches and sounds in my synths that I also could aux send or run into the Neo Leslie so this would be wonderful if I can.
I own the first generation of Presounus 16.2.0 Studio Live ( ? ) Any advice?

I also could use my Mackie VZL 16 channel mixer too. It has 4 aux sends. That might be better or easier if anyone knows how on that item.
Thanks for any advice

I'm not familiar with the specifics of that particular mixer, but if you have a free aux bus, what you are saying seems the likely way to accomplish what you're trying to do. Put the two Clone channels on an Aux Bus and use a patch cable from the aux send to the digital Leslie then to the input of a third channel on the mixer.

Cool, I will try that. Thank you. I will letcha know if that works. Now to undo a rack full of wires to get at it all.. . .

Seth is correct. Use an aux output to the stomp box(es). You can return it mono to any channel, or return it to 13/14 or 15/16 in stereo.

While I can't be sure since the website doesn't specifically say so, it looks like the ouputs of your Leslie box is balanced since it says they operate at +6db. If so, then you should use some 1/4" TRS cables to run between the box and the mixer inputs. The line inputs on the Presonus bypass the mic preamp - this would be the best way to get back into the board.

Thanks. I will use 1/4 TRS cables

Seth, Your idea worked. I should have thought of that.

With my rev/echo FX unit, using my Presonus, I use the aux send and return and it doesnt suck up a channel as it uses one of the 4 aux faders but this works and I've got 3 channels open on the Mackie so I'm cool. The Mackie with no graphics, just channel strip eq's, sounds almost as good as the presonus with for 28 or 31 bands, whatever it has. Using Bills designs makes things so easy. Thank you for helping me
