I did the exact same thing with my M3 a few months back and I've been tracking with it like crazy. I am on the Hamtech list as well, under the same moniker, and I wil be watching for your posts as well. Let me know how this all turns out for you. I am sure you can get an electronic copy on Ebay for something like 5 bucks.
ALTIVERB BIDULE MANUAL
You might want to find a copy of the M-11 service manual if you are even in the slightest way electronically inclined. Oh, and you might also be delighted to know that the classics from Tom Scholz of Boston were originally performed on a 44-key Hammond M-3: most notably Foreplay/Long Time, Smokin', and the rest of the songs on their self-titled album. I only mention it because I have found that I can live with a 49-key clavier instrument, but not a 44-key one (with the possible exception of the Hammond-44 melodion, simply because there is nothing out there with more than 44 keys.). Sorry to be pedantic, but I'm pretty sure that, like the M-3 and all other Hammond spinet models, the M-111 has 44, and not 49, keys per manual.
ALTIVERB BIDULE SOFTWARE
I think that if you have B4ii you can also "teach" the software to recognize MIDI foot controller signals from any such device. At the moment I am using an RK2 pedal with GR3, and with the "rig" setup that I intend to use for live sound, I have dedicated two buttons for "Les ON/OFF" and Les speed", and I might use one or two other buttons for other rotary speaker parameters. Any version of Guitar Rig, in conjunction with any one of the Rig Kontrol pedals, would get you into all of the flexibility you would want in the onboard rotary speaker sim, I am sure. I am not sure, but doubtful at the moment if B4 (original version) has a "learn" function, but I'm pretty sure B4ii does. Your best bet, I would think, is with some sort of a MIDI pedal setup. There are a couple of ways you might turn the Leslie off and on, and also switch btw slow and high speeds.
Grounding issues might also pose a problem, but might not. That might mean adding a potentiometer between the M-111 and the IO device. You also want to be careful to balance the output signal from your M-111 to the input tolerances of your IO device. GR Mobile is selling on Ebay for $99 nowadays. Especially if you play guitar also, you might want to look into NI's Guitar Rig Session or Guitar Rig Mobile (which come with a Lite version of GR3, which also includes its own rotary-speaker effect, the same one as B4). Do you have an external Input/Output soundcard box? That would be your best bet.
ALTIVERB BIDULE HOW TO
How to hook up to B4? You need to be able to digitize that M-111 output signal and get it to B4. Find out which pre-amp and amp you have on yours, if you can, before you post to the list, it is possible that the terminals on each amp might be slightly different. I just looked at my M-series service manuals, and although I don't have anything on the M-111, i see that the M-100 came with at least three different amplifier options. The reason I don't tell you which ones I tap out of on mine is because mine is a rare, odd duck and yours will be different on the M-111 (I *know* they will be marked differently than on mine). There will be a set of terminals on the back of your amp that you can tap the pre-amp signal from. I have a C-2G that I pull the signal out of the amp (they told me how) to send out, for the moment, to a Line 6 Roto-Machine pedal (you might want to consider getting one as well, using a full-up laptop with B4 installed just to get the Leslie effect out of it seems like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer IMHO - you can demo the sounds at the line 6 website). It makes mockery of this country's ideals when even those elected to defend our constitutional rights cannot defend their own.Lucky you! (ALWAYS keep one eye on teh Craig, I say.) - Google the Hamtech (Hammond Technical) discussion List, join it and ask the good folks there.
ALTIVERB BIDULE FREE
If the CIA is permitted to command what public officials do in secret meetings, then how can we claim to be a free nation? Not even those we elect to rule us are able to openly share facts, and instead we are reduced to nothing more than petty gossip mongering about whether we believe one person or another. Public officials often need to defend their actions from records of past events, and forbidding them to keep such records violates their rights as citizens. All other aspects of public officials are held in the limelight-their income, even their sex lives-and it should be illegal for any government agency to command clandestine actions from a public official. If we expect good leadership, we have to defend the constitutional rights of those who lead us, in fact even more than anybody else's, or how can we expect good leadership? And public officials are walked into meetings where they are told they cannot record or take notes of what happens. So meanwhile I am starting a letter writing campaign to defend the constitution.
