It's Not.
'Hammond Rig' is a little nebulous. If you just need Hammond sounds then
It's fine.
If you need a lot of Hammond pathos
It's not.
No matter how great is sounds, it's only one keybed so WITH another manual
it sorta could start being a Hammond.

Stereo, as such, is not the answer. Physically rotating speakers are. Sims
CAN be pretty nice and there have often been times when no one, and I mean
NO ONE, could have told the diff in venues I've played but that's for your
ears. The CX3 sim is as good as any but sooner or later, you'll wanna
spinner of some sort. The Motionsound product get my vote in pretty much
every application but my livingroom.

I don't wanna be the jerk here but consider this:
If you can't do it with a MB2 and 2 Keyboards, then yer not gonna get it
done with just the CX3. So ya might wanna look into getting another set
of blackandwhites. Opens up far more possibilities for far less loot.
