Subject:Re: Ultimate Hammond Sampler

All,

Be careful about how literally the CX-3 stock settings are taken, especially since they might change with the v2 OS update. These are approximations, based on somebody's ears, but they might not be spot-on. For example, I know that Hush is not 88 8000 008; it's more like 888 5333 578. And Felix Cavelliere used 88 8888 888 on occasion, but he tended toward "sweeter" settings like 86 8848 448 and 84 8806 004 in many songs.

Regards,

-BW
