That may be true. I've been playing my 59 B3 with hot rod 145 for a while now
almost exclusively. Trying to lighten my load for some places I'm looking at
other options. I already have an XB-2 which I don't really like an an
Oberheim OB3/2 which I like better. I thought I would sell these and get one
of the newer clones but now I plan to try to use these with the B4 and map
the drawbars and switches so I can have real time control. I just got my Dell
Latitude CPIA 366 working and loaded with XP. I can get about 25 ms with the
on-board sound card which is not that great but good enough to see if I can
get the drawbars and controls mapped using Deke's suggestions. If all that
goes well then I'll pick up one of the ASIO midi/sound cards to complete the
setup. If it works out it will be a great use for my obsolete clones. Now to
try to find the time to set this up.
