Subject:RE: Nord - last drawbar & percussion ?

On the other hand, manipulating the drawbars while playing could be
considered an essential part of playing a Hammond. It is in my music. So for
me the closest recreation to a Hammond drawbar is a necessity.

Drawbars are great, Lord knows we need a good 4 d/b sets style clone.
But how far in the past need we keep ourselves? The CX3, for
example has (forgive me, I don't own one) a 'super mode'? Where
tones can be created with *more* than 9 d/b? What a great idea!
Course, it seems there was a Hammond along these lines,too. But
still, **progress**.

I've long maintained that the timbre is no longer the issue, but
the human interface. A console Hammond with internally wired V-5's
or such would fool all of the people some of the time and some of
the people all of the time -- no doubt in my teeny tiny brain.

OK, I'm still [very slowly] working on some of my own ideas. But
it would be nice to see something that looks like progress to my
selfish, egocentric POV. Maybe that's what Nord has in mind
with their led d/b set. Maybe Korg had that in mind with the
"super mode" (izzat what it's called?) Maybe selectable waves
*per drawbar*? Maybe EG controlled morphing between d/b settings?
(Hmm.. does Nord do this already?) Maybe first/last note only
Vibrato? Just some ideas...Maybe oughta shut up.
