Subject:=?ISO-8859-1?Q?RE=3A_=5BCWSG=5D_XK-3_software_update?=

I remember never being able to get "the sound" of the studio album, no matter what I did. Then one day, I happened to have my ARP string machine going through my Leslie and it all fell into place!

That said, it might have been that the ARP needed the Leslie tonality to make it right, but I seem to remember that the missing element did NOT occur when the Leslie was stopped. Of course, it's been 25 years! LOL

Regards,

-BW
