I also think that getting the MIDIfying done is the hardest part..
Once that is done and the reliability is 100% or so you can use any
sound source you like. For more information about this kind of
projects take a look at:

I've been thinking of building a sort of Hammond preamp myself and
stuffing it with a Voce V5 to MIDIfied vintage Korg CX-3 case. I
haven't been able to find replacement parts to the CX-3 for a decent
price so I thought I'd make a vintage/digital keyboard out of it
myself. The CX-3 has been unused for a year or so for now and it
seems a bit like a never-ending project to me at this point but we'll
just wait and see... ;-)
