Aha! So there WAS an X77 after all. Thanks, Duane. The old grey cells still have some juice left, then. I was beginning to worry about that. laugh

I wonder if a Dual-Vibrato VSTi would excist...

I know there are many Vibrato-VSTi's witch emulate C1, C2, C3, V1, V2, V3,
but I have never found a VSTi that emulate the Dual-VibratoScanner found on the H100, HX100, X66

Best Regards,
Carlo

Very cool home organ. Never saw an XTP. Interesting that with al these older models Hammond made matching sound systems so they would sound their best.

Wonder why Yamaha, Korg, or Roland don't often show suggested systems to compliment their keyboards. Their ads usually just focus on the keyboard and we all know that's only as good as the sound system. More money for them too as I bet a lot of buyers wiould go with the recommended systems.

The X77 is a beautiful organ (That's why I keep it around). But, it is a real challenge to make it sound like a B3. The single speed roto-sound speaker in the Leslie doesn't help.

The vibrato on the X66 was incredible. It sent 3 separate signals to the left, center, and right speakers in the cabinet, creating a true rotating effect. Downside was the 12 single tonewheels which used a divider circuit to create the different footages. Didn't sound as full as a B.
