Thank you, Gene!!!!

Finally someone else who understands just why all these Hammond samplers
and Voce's and Oberheims can't do Hammonds exactly! I've agrued this with
folks throughout the years and they often just don't get it. (Push a
Hammond key down slowly and you'll get it!)

Also, each of the 9 contacts have varying amounts of DC offset and render
slightly different clicks and pops of their own. Even the preamp tubes in
my L102 used to be pretty microphonic, lending another unique quality to
the hammond.
