Hi Daniel !
these guys were arguing about the ability (or not) of the AN1X to
produce organ sounds. Not pipes, but the vintage electronic organs such
as the famous Hammond or Wurlitzer keyboards.
I agree with you , but everybody cannot afford a "real" organ or simply
has enough room at home to store a grand piano, a "400 punds, full wood,
2-manual" organ,an "all valve - full stack" Marshall (not to mention the
vintage Strat once owned by Hendrix himself)∗ and a lot of other
instruments....

>You are the slave of the sound.

Absolutely not !! For the reasons above , and because it is quite
impossible to "re create" sounds recorded 20 or 30 years ago with the
limitations of yesterday gear. Photography and painting are 2 different
things .... admit that there is no totally perfect emulation and let's
create your own sound, with your own perception of what "could be" an
organ or the famous Hendrix Strat ....
Cheers !
J.F.
∗I'm a guitar player too, and the same "battle" is raging in the guitar
world .... tube amps vs solid state amps, digital modelling and multi
effect vs a simple stomp box!

>>Hello !
