The Jimmy Smith and Tony Monaco Hammond B3 sound blow me away too, so I love my Sounds For Keys ‘Jimmy Smith Pack’ collection and use it regularly now in my playing, especially on jazz standards & R&B numbers. These realistic rich full sounding B3 voices sound a significant cut above even the ones included in Tyros 4 so continue to be my favorite go to voice collection to use when I want to emulate a Hammond B3 on Tyros 4. One nice feature I especially appreciate is the ability to change the Leslie Speed by key pressure. I can highly recommend this pack for Tyros 2,3,and 4 owner Hammond B3 lovers. IMHO, well worth the $ spent.
The following is a 'YouTube audio clip' followed by an 'audio only clip' of the sounds included in that pack though I can honestly tell you that (because these demo's are relatively low resolution compressed audio), they don't sound nearly as rich and full as they actually do live played on the Tyros 4 itself.:
