Hi,
Where do you boogie, Boogaloo?
I have a Dynacord DLS300 for sale, with English text manual, but I'm
probably, well over the hills and far away, and a fair swimming
distance too as I live in the UK.

A CLS22 is, I think, almost the same as a 222, but it doesn't have
the effects on/off switch like the 222. I don't find the effects off
a whole heap of use with a Hammond Clone.
It is handy to have though on the DLS series, as this one is true
stereo, unlike the Rotosphere and 222 series, so that the likes of an
E-mu B-3 module ( Proteus2000 ) can be either routed in stereo,
through the FX., or pass straight through ( on a midi command, say
for sequencing ) for other stereo sampled voices.

The 22 does have rotary, stop/slow and fast though I believe, and I
think apart from that it is the same beast.

Regards Thomas.
