Ok,
Since it has been said this is getting ridiculous, its time to be part of the group and throw in my 2 cents.

From what I can see, the 9 DBs can be sampled in a very long loop and being that there is so much mish-mosh going on with cross-talk and whatever, it wouldn't be difficult to have seamless loops of the 9 drawbars. Then the DBs would act like a volume control ( like they normally do) and cause the organ to act like a Hammond. Its hard for sampler folk like us to understand, when we bought Ensoniq Mirages' and now have Giga-samplers and Yamaha Es's. Just because we had some trouble sampling things to our 100% liking in the past, doesn't mean that Hammond can't. Look how far animation has come with the "Incredibles" and "Polar Express". Roger Rabbit was in its infancy at the time. Whatever Hammond did.....they did it and that's what the enigeers at Hammond get paid the big bucks for!
