| | History of the Hammond B-3 Organ |
 | | The Hammond is used in all types of music, from Gospel, to Blues, to Jazz, to Funk, to Rock. |
 | | You yourself may have a couple of killer Hammond samples on your machine, but there is nothing like being behind the real thing, starting the motor, (which is a technique all to itself) and feeling the thing purr to life like a giant, breathing creature. |
 | | Korg had managed pretty well to nail the grungy, down and dirty sound of the Hammond, but you could not program presets onto it, (it came with three unchangeable presets that were terrible), most of the special effects, especially the percussion (attack) effects were cheesy sounding, and the built-in Leslie simulator was horrendous. |
