Hello Daniel ! >I cannot understand why companies, like Hammond, are sleeping on their >efforts are building one useless dig.organ after the other. Overpriced, of >course. Economy? > Yes, of course, and portability for the guys who play in clubs or pubs . Hammond has been bought by a japanese company , such as Oberheim bought now by Viscount to add a synth to their organ range . These famous companies of the past were aslept on their fame and success, and one day they awoke close to bankruptcy ...the new bosses want to buy the brand name and the know-how, that's all . Don't expect them to be very inventive !! The AN1X is really a good keyboard, very under rated , and can produce good pipe organ sounds . The morphing or swapping between 2 similar patches is very useful to do as it has 2 keyboards with different registers . I use it for all organ sounds : jazz organ patch and a more rock one, or full ranks and small pipes on the 2 "scenes" of the same memory. @+ J.F.
