I must feel like the master builders of the cathedrals, so I have to add images for the non Latin speaking vulgum pecus :

Frequentia XXIV decibelli cribri [dicitur IV poli] gubernata est ab involucro in quatuor stadia solutus: impetum, declinus, cessatio et dimissio: inde appellatus est IDCD involucrus.



Minimus Mogulus Americanus tres stadia habet, inde involucrus appellatus est ID (tandem ICD). Modestia in stadiorum numero



Tardus Rolandus Nipponicus J. P. MMMMMMMM plurima stadia habet.





Amen.

Speaking of synth architecture:
> On the M3, one of the Realtime Control parameters for Slider 3 is Filter Envelope Generator Intensity. I'm assuming the Oayses and Kronos will have the same hardwired Realtime Control.

I've done a search in the Operations and Parameter Guide, and other than saying its CC#79, it doesn't say what it does. It sounds like an extension of the cutoff and resonance filter.

Another question in that regard- is it just me, or does the cutoff filter on the M3 sound peaky on many of the sounds? There ARE some lead sounds where the cutoff filter (slider #1, Realtime Controls) sounds like I expect/want it to (basic wah type of effect), but on so many of the sounds (like IA120, Smooth Operators, the Program referred to in the manual), the sound gets peaky very quickly, as in squeally and awful- most of the sounds seem to react this way on the M3.

Sorry I'm posting this here and not on the M3 forum- but this question starts off in a way related to Kronos as well.

I thought you would begin the Latin version with

@those interested in the SOS article:
I bought it online, and it is nice and in part knowledgeable, but hardly more.
I haven't found any relevant really new information in it.
And to be sincere, someone calling the CX3 the best B3 emulation until today doesn't really look like an expert to me.

I'm surprised that nobody's offered yet, but I've scanned the article if anybody wants a copy.

Don't think I can host it on here, but drop me a PM.

If this isn't allowed, feel free to delete my post.

I don't think it's all that outlandish that someone really loves the CX-3 sound. In my PC3, which is reputedly one of the weakest Hammond emulations, I've found a superb clone which I'm very happy with. Even though the Leslie effect has been improved at least twice with updates, it's still considered a little weaker than the KORG Leslie. But it's good enough for me right now.

I've heard patches on the OASYS and Kronos both which sound digital and harsh, but I've heard the same thing on my PC3. Honestly, if I start veering more into serious Hammond playing, I'm likely going to get one of the XKCs with its waterfall keyboard, which you really need to do any serious Hammonding.

Right now, I'm intending to use organ sounds sparingly, and many will be synthetic anyhow. I want to seriously begin using AL-1, MOD-7 and my other gear. If I'm really lucky, I can get halfway to Tomita. Wink

M3 parameter guide p.18:

Slider 3: Flt EG (Filter EG Intensity) [000...127]
This slider scales the effect of the Filter EG on the cutoff frequencies of Filters A and B. It also transmits and receives MIDI CC#79.

I had the original CX3 and the later CX3 and both were pretty damn good. The leslie was also good (better than the one in the Triton or M3) I think. When the analog CX3, it was by far the best clonewheel out there at that time. When the digital version came out, it was too. Others have caught up but even Hammond's XK-1 pales in comparison and the XK-3C (not the XK-3) isn't what I would call obviously better.

Whether you would consider it the best or not would be a never ending argument but it's not as bad as you make it out to be with that statement.

The interesting one for me (and yes, I've finally read it!!) is the comparison machines... Fantom G7???? Surely if you're comparing, it should be with a machine that hasn't been discontinued!!! Laughing

Maybe the G8, yeh.

All in all though, a good review.
