Subject:Re: Why did Hammond get the virtual B3 right?


Right.. Well just because Modeling has been with us for quite some
time does not mean its completely there yet. its only been in the
past few years that processors have gotten fast enough to really get
close to any kind of realism with anything. its still not quite
there yet. A few more years and it will all be a moot point.

Regarding the B4, I rest my case. That has long been considered
a "modeled" organ...and even it uses some bit of sampling. My main
point is not to diss on modeling or praise sampling or get into
another silly argument about what is or isn't modeling or which is
better. its simply to say that the XK3 is not MERELY a sample
playback organ. It does in fact use some samples at the bottom
layer, but because the sound is built up by layering samples of
spinning discs...it can be thought of as a modeling organ as well,
one that uses some samples to get there.
