Subject:Re: XK-3 Leslie sim edit question.

For this reason, I've decided to keep my Electro for gigs when I can't haul
Leslie.

But, I've never been in love with the basic Electro organ sound.

The way people are describing the xk-3 basic sound and keyboard action
tempts me greatly, but only for the gigs with dear old Leslie goes too!
