Gotcha. Thanks
It's also really worth playing with the
LADSPA swh impulse convolver
plugin. Guitar amps sound really good on hammond! Also the TAP preamps
are nice. A bit of fuzz and grit+limited freqency range and odd
resonances really brings it to life.
The one thing no midi hammond can ever do is the way different tones
come in at different times as you press down the key. This means you
can
kinda flick the keys and just get the top drawbar
to plip a little and
the percussion to ping.

It's the way all the key contacts don't touch the bus bars at the same
time, so as you press down the key, the high drawbars and percussion
sound first, and then as you press down a tiny bit more the other
drawbars sound. I think my hammond's keyboard is probably more knackered
than most so I notice it/ use it more.
