So if anybody wants to program a virtual Hammond
B3, should he take care
about tuning effects caused by the power line?
Btw. is the motors speed for a B3 depending to the voltage or is it
synced by the frequency?

They are synch motors Ralf. Its a different motor for me at 60hz on this
side of the pond.
I've never heard of an out-of-tune Hammond being a problem? Perhaps
because we are not partying yet when the factories close down and all
the switching is done, and on Sundays when we go to church - which we
all do, no? - the factories aren't running at all.
What can be said though, is that in order to mimic the electric sizzling
sound of a melting power-station in America, you will build up your
drone in the key of A# rather than in G - which would have been closer
to the European 50 Hz
There is a switch on the backside of the Hammond to spin it down in
remembrance of those unforgettable brown-out moments.
