It´s OT here anyway, but for me, the C1 has some advantages over the XK3c ( which sounds amazing btw),- it´s the price for a dual waterfall keyboard organ compared to a single keyboard organ,- and the size and weight = portability.
Depending on the leslie sim, I don´t care too much,- I´m a big Brian Auger fan since my age of 17 ( oh it was 1972...) and I love a straight Hammond sound w/ 2nd perc/soft, chorus C3 and overdriven.
Depending on the Matrix 6/Matrix 1000,- I have one in addition to the Xpander,- and I put the sounds I want into the 1st RAM-bank and that´s it then. It´s a good toy for doing layers w/ other tone generators, FM p.ex.
Matrix 1000 as also Xpander/Matrix12 aren´t synths w/ fast attack>fast envelopes, - so they blend well w/ DX/TX sounds.
B.t.w.,- I also have the "Xpander Bankloader" including all the Matrix 1000 banks/preset sounds programmed for the Xpander.
Yep, the shared sonic aspect is the aliasing,- all three have it ( the Electro also w/ synth sounds ), - no wonder, it´s digital.
Karl, you sign w/ the name of an english king (1630-1685),- I hope you own and perform on british synths too,- maybe OSCAR ...
:-)))

Hi PeWe,
You know I looked at the C1 but like all synth co's they did not
stagger the keyboard like a real organ. This is a big deal to me.
I also like to actually play the instrument and this is a clumsy
way of doing things. Also the Lesli simulation is just not swishy
enough compared to the real thing.
I bought the little clasic virus because it has it's roots in the
matrix 6. ACCESS actually made a realtime programmer for the M1000
for it's first product. The biggest problem with it is, not enough
MOD slots, and like the M1000 it takes forever to find the sound you
want.
BTW I notice all my DSP based keys: ELCTRO 73, Virus, and V-Synth
have a rubbery kind of quality to the sound. Not that they all sound
the same but they all share some sonic aspects.
