Subject:Re: organ clone and amp question

My only problem with the CX3 is that it only does organ. I am trying to
move away from that, since I am usually stuck riding with somebody else in
the band and can't bring massive amounts of gear. I am trying to find a
keyboard that can do organ and some other things to offset my reliance on
just my Motif. I have a jp8080 running into a Roland AX1 for analog synth
sounds. I do understand what is being said regarding the virtual drawbars
on the Electro, though and that is a bit of a downer, especially since the
thing has such amazing electric pianos and clavs. Maybe I can get the
electro rack and use it just for those someday, but right now, I need an
organ sound at least equal to my vk7, plus some other stuff. Maybe I'll
look at the vr760 and see about the extras it offers. The srx7, ultimate
keys card may be the way to go, or maybe even the studio card. I'll have to
check it out. As for amps, I like the stereo one recommended in a previous
post. Can anybody send me some links to these motion sound or mackie
keyboard amps? Thanks.
