Subject:RE: Running on about the XK-3

I believe that the Hammond/Suzuki clones were the only ones that
suffered from this. When the XK2 came out there was much angst against
H/Z for not fixing the problem... What is the problem? From what was
explained to me, unlike other clones like the VK7 and CX3 which use
physical modeling to replicate the sound of the Hammond, the H/Z clones
used sampling to achieve the sounds, and there were severe tuning
inconsistencies amongst the notes, which would phase cancel and create
the "beating"...

that the XK-2 was an also-ran in that most important department, the
sound.
Especially with the harmonic beating.

Is there someone that knows which clones have the harmonic beating
problem.
Or maybe its really that the XK-3 may be the only one to eliminate this.
And could someone restate or clarify the pheneomenon- mainly I presume
this is less aparent using only one "tremolo" or rotor effect. And is it
generally only with the Leslies sims of that clone, or does adding an
external Leslie, motion sound, etc. bring out the problem?
