Hi folks,

And if you are still not convinced check this out:

There you have it.

Even after watching six of those videos, I have no idea what I am watching... especially since I have to try to work out if what I am listening to is bad technique or bad sound...

You're not serious .... are you ?

This sounds really poor.

I did actually post this link some time ago and it certainly has potential, particularly as the basic software can be fitted on any reasonably powerful computer for as little as €299, and if you add a couple of €200 Midi keyboards + a Touch screen to cover your existing monitor for about €500 it would certainly give you something to work at.
Unfortunately it uses Creative Sound font Technology that while good in its day is now seriously showing its age, however if you used Soft Synths rather then the internal sounds then it would be worth having a look at.
Point to note, both Wersi with its OAS Instruments and Lionstracs with its Mediastation have been using computer based software instruments for some time, (In the case of Wersi this has been since the year 2000) but unlike the Tornado Software both use High End 32 bit DSP Processing Cards, to allow the use of 24 bit sampling, as well as Giga Samples, VST Instruments and with Wersi, Akai Samples.
Who knows what Sound Engine Tornado Systems will use in the future though?

Thank you for the input about Wersi and Tornado systems.

I have a Technics FA-1 organ which I thought would be a good canidate for a Wersi expander. Do you have an idea which might be the most cost effective way of acheiving this?

Any othe comments are fully welcome

Last but not least I thought the organs on the Demo were pretty decent and were certainly more pop & theatre oriented rather then Jazz or typical B3

If what you are referring to is Language I beleive its German. My brouser can translate language for me so that's kind of cool.

Jerry,

Eric can translate. He is an expert in both German and English. Also, I just want the Readers Digest version.

Hi Guys,

of course I ment it as a joke
Here is the webside: http://www.tornado-music.de/

It doesn't say much except that it is an extension KB called Venus by Wersi, I believe, with 61 light wheighted keys, about 1 meter width = approx. 3 feet, with 8.4" touch sensitive TFT-screen.

You can also get it with 88 keys.
