And that is a perfect example of why the good lord gave us all ears to hear
music and a brain to say .."I like that sound" or "I don't care for that sound
so much ".
and is also why the Instrument making companies have given us so many
instruments to choose from ..

IMHO MTCW YMMV

One thing is for sure ...if original Hammond organs did not weigh as much as
they do.
We would not so fervently be discussing which organ clone sounds the most like a
REAL HAMMOND !!!!

Nope - I am still not buying that the Nord C-2 is dramatically better sounding
than the VK8 engine.

The VK8 has a quality of chorus vibrato that will hold its own against the Nord
C2 or ANY clone..... Including the NUMA which I have. Particularly the Vintage 1
amp settting. The Roland chorus in not behind the curve AT ALL.

Does the Nord C2 have adjustable percussion decay and /or adjustable percussion
volume? The VK8 does.

I have heard very good results from the VK8 leslie sim if you are skilled at
editing on it. Is the C-2 adjustable?

Also there is very good overdrive on the VK8, and there are several different
varieties and intensities.

I have spent a lot of time with the VK8/ VK8m sound engine , and I have never
found much if anything at all to be displeased with. One of the reasons I am
choosing the Numa at this time is due to the leslie sim, weight, keyboard feel
and overall authenticity of tone.

I don't want to put the Nord C-2 down or any other Nord stuff down because a
lot of people get good results with it, and I like what they do with it. Most of
the people I hear that play Electros play rock, and love to use it with
Ventilators or whatever. But after hearing and playing the C-2 at NAMM I "sort
of " liked it... I liked the two manuals, but I didn't think the sim or the tone
generation was "dramatic" over other things I had heard.... including the
Roland.
