[net.music.synth] Info req on KORG BX-3

A friend of mine was wondering if anyone out here knew anything about a
Korg BX-3.  He is most interested in how good it sounds especially with
respect to the Hammond B3.

Last summer, my group did a party with another group.  Their keyboardist
offered the use of his Korg, knowing that I used a big ol' heavy modified
Model D (modified to contain B3 features).  I Went over to his house, tried
it out, and decided to lug my D out for the show instead.  It sounded sort of
like a Hammond but that certain colorful magical set of overtones was missing.
I would not recommend the BX-3 to a true Hammond lover.

BTW, I finally did get sick of dragging around that monster, and decided to
play all my Hammond parts on my Poly-800, which I think has a more convincing
Hammond sound than the BX-3.  Check it out.
