I am sure there are loads of people who could add to this list and expand
upon its content - none of this is 'definitive' fact. Beatrix implements
most of these features, the percussive routing, crosstalks, tapering,
waveform distorts, leakages, etc. Keyclick last time I looked was based on
a single contact but had multiple signal options and the reverb was a
pretty nice but clean multiple chained delay lines. To be honest I thought
beatrix had been 'sold' to an italian company making 'Hammond Sound'
keyboards which was largely why it is no longer maintained publicly, its
maintained privately - what I want to say is that is not an orphaned app by
any means, its one of the more successful ones perhaps.

Apologies if this is a duplicate submit, my firefox hung when I pressed
send.
One other element was if the tubes were shot. The old blown out tubes would
give it a really dirty, but soft texture which for some things was desirable.
The best synthesis of a Hammond I've heard is a hardware keyboard. Nord makes
a really great sounding Hammond synth that beats out anything else I've heard.
(It's Rhodes, Claves and Whirlitzer are great too, piano kinda sucks though)
