Subject:emu-b3 and other sounds

Hi Robert,

I use a e-mu-b3 with a yamaha psr740 and psr530. I use the psr530
most as a upper keyboard controller for the emu. The psr740 has on
screen drawbars and some pretty good hammond sounds, BUT, of course
They are not as good as the EMU or probably most of the clones talked
about on this site. The yamaha psr 740 has some very good sounds for
the price. With this set up, (psr740,psr530,emu-b3, roland pk-5
pedals, fender keyboard amp) I'm a one man band. The psr740 also has
a vocal harmonizor.
Now if I could get rid of this old Lowery organ that I thought
sounded
so great 25 years ago and get a real B3.....well, I can dream can't
I?
:)
