<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically any synth that covers some Hammond
and "moogish" sounds (or rather run of the mill ' 70s synth sound) would
do.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However to sound like Rick
Wakeman</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>you would have to copy his playing
style (use of chord voicing, accomb rhythms, phrasing, how he plays a
melody).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Looking on the web for some general midi files of
typical wakeman songs should be a good start.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And yhea, the crappy GM soundset of your soundcard
can sound like Wakeman too.</FONT></DIV>
