[The organ was created in Italy. It is called the KeyB and there are two models, a Duo and a single.

http://www.keyborgan.com

It is basically a midi controller with a single board PC computer inside running linux. It uses the Beatrix open source software as its basis, although the original developer seems to have spent the last two years making the leslie sim way better than what is publicly available. One can still download the original software from the net, and I have been playing with it and modifying it for awhile. It does leakage and key click magnificently.]

Looks like the original dev did indeed sell it to another company...

[The KeyB engine is a PC running linux and the open source organ software Beatrix.

Actually, the version they are running is many revs newer than the open source version available. They hired the original developer it seems, and he has been working exclusively for them for the last couple years.

I have played with the source code of the open source version and it is very detailed. If you like a dirty organ with crosstalk, this software models leakage in all the individual locations separately - in the tonewheel bin, at the terminal strip, in the wiring loom, etc. You can control the level of each tonewheel individually also.

The XK-3C is pretty detailed in this manner too, so they are a fair comparison. But the KeyB Duo absolutely nails the UI perfectly.]

Ah phooey!!!!
