Subject:Re: List is Back On / SoundSide Voice Pack

Right on, Bruce!

Anyone here ever use this and does it make a significant difference in sound with the VK 8 or module?

http://www.soundside.de/shop/vk8upgradepack.htm

Here are the features of the SoundSide Voice Pack:
Get more realistic settings for the organ and rotary system.
Increase the volume (compared to the default settings)
True Rotary Bypass Feature (not only 'Brake')
Vibrato Chorus Vintage Type ('50, '60, '70)
Use the extended features (Rotary Bypass and Vintage Type) for your own patches.
You can store them to any preset patch you like.
New optimized clean presets.
New optimized coverdrive presets.
The original sounds Bank1,2,3 will not be changed.
Easy installation via MIDI.
Additional Files for system settings, new features, clean patches and overdrive patches.

Cool... This is an awesome group and like everyone else here I love to
play the organ. I get a lot of helpful and thoughtful information here,
