Subject:To "Infinity" and beyond! (long post)

---glad I caught your attention---
Everyone (myself blatently included !) seem to be stuck with
achieveing that "authentic" sound, i.e., of a REAL b3 with a REAL
leslie. It seems that, to varying degrees, all clone/preamp/speaker
combinations come pretty close, in most respects. However....
we are living in 2003...and I think, given all the technology and
options available to us, we should try to go BEYOND what was the
established "Hammond" sound and develop sound combos/techniques for
addressing a lot of problems and limitations of playing organ, in
general.
Let me throw out the ball with this idea: I am constantly frustrated
by the uneven sound which most clones, as well as the "real thing",
tend to have. This is especially true when voicing chords in the
differnet regsiters; and it seems much more pronounced, and complex,
than issues related to playing chords on a piano.
I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck with ANY type of outboard
equalizing, either traditional or parametric etc...
Also....what other "effects" are you guys/gals using; AGAIN, I'm not
trying to turn a clone into a Korg Triton///// I'm simply looking for
the best "playing experience".
These are all issues that traditional pipe organists are always
struggling with....playability in different registers, blending of
manual stops, etc.
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST....
What are YOUR thoughts??????
