Subject:Re: What was the 'Clone' landscape in 1988?
Let's clarify that - the Korg CX-3 was by far and away the first clonewheel to make any effort whatever to LOOK like a vintage Hammond, followed a few years later by the Viscount OP-6. The latter evolved into the MIDI-equipped D9 and its associated module, the D9E. If you wanted to LOOK as if you were playing a B3 (or at least half of one) rather than a synth, these were your only options.
