Subject:RE: CX3 V2.0 Vibrato



Funny you should mention Mark Stein. I was playing around with the "new"
vibrato and I mistaked into a setting that sounded exactly like the fist
drone note of Keep Me Hanging On with that same vibrato sound (Leslie on
stop). Pretty scary....

My jury is still out on this one. I always thought that the v1.x
vibrato was heavier than normal (more like an A-100 than a B-3/C-3), but
I think I got used to it. With v2.01, it sounds a lot more like Greg
Rolie's Santana-era B-3, or maybe Mark Stein's, but I miss some of the
depth. Part of the issue is that the components in the B-3 era varied a
lot, especially over time, so different Hammonds have different vibrato.
I know it doesn't really make sense, but they both improved it and
stepped backwards a bit -- at the same time.
