Subject:Re: cool video

If you're guessing from just the title screen, good luck! He calls it a C3, but it's definitely not a C3. He knows his music, but might be unsure of hammond models. I've watched the video a bunch of times, and my best guess is it's a cv with added trek perc and an added c/v unit of some type (the lower block Craig referred to which they give a close up shot, has a soft/normal button like on a b3, an upper and lower button like a b3 and the bottom one is chorus/tremelo for the leslie instead of a half moon I guess) . The organ looks super familiar to me (I have two CV's), however the start/run switch block has been changed, and the chorus/vib knob and that plate has been changed also. The CV model doesn't have split c/v, and this does with that trek, so I'm guessing that the c/v went on the cv (this is confusing huh?) and it was replaced by a trek unit which needed a different switch, just a guess though. I could ask but I don't think he knows, since he refers to it as a c3.
To bring this back to the subject of clones, the first time I heard this guy he was using an old analog CX3 through a bunch of stomp boxes into a leslie with Sheryl Bailee. I was using an analog Korg too. We talked clones a bit and he was telling me he and a bunch of other new york guys preferred the old CX to the new one. THen a year or two later I heard him and he was using the digital korg, which I also switched to. We talked about how we both liked that better. Then he went Nord C2, and I went SK. He doesn't seem like an obsessive tweaker like me, but he's constantly exploring different harmonies and scales.
