Hi, Jim,

There's a factory patch called "Organizer" (as I recall) that has a pretty good Hammond simulation.  This is in the SD-1 32 voice library.  You can control the Leslie speed with the mod wheel, although when I used it on stage I had a MIDI foot controller to keep both hands free.

If you have this patch you'll find it useful.  

Best,

Bill

Does anyone have it and can tell him how to load it?  Also, is there anyone who could possibly Skype with him and give him a basic primer on using the functions of his keyboard?  I appreciate  any n all help he can get. Thanks!
