Hi John, thats the thing about midi I suppose, you can add stuff to
any instrument. I dont know anything about the module you mentioned
I have heard of OB3's and VK7/8 and the like. To be honest it isnt
the Hammond sound, well at least as popularly represented by the B3,
that actually appeals to me, I prefer what Ive heard from old
Lowrey's. But I would imagine that Hammond's come with a whole range
of different tones, it just seems everyone seems to like the Jimmy
Smith type sound, I dont! Luckilly the organ sounds I had
demonstrated on an EL40 before I bought my 25 were just the ticket,
especially the theatre :).
