Hi Ben:

>One area that all
clones seem to fall short on, surprisingly, is the 848000000 comp/bass
sound.
The Rolands came the closest on that, but I ended up getting rid of a
VK77 &
VK8r for other sonic reasons. But when I hear a recording by Jimmy S.
or Joey
D. & hear the "puff" & "organic" fullness of thier comp sounds I keep
wishing
the clones could capture that as well. >

If you get a chance to check out the EVB3 (Emagic), I'll bet you'll
find that sound. IMO it nails exactly that sound, and 888 3drd soft
C3 gives me the chills as well. Even listening to the first part of
the "Jazz" demo clip from their website might give you a taste.
