I dunno. We have an Electro 3 and a Farfisa, and I used own Hammond. The end result is the same. You are playing organ tones that are extremely close to the real deal and playing them the same way you would on the "real" organ. I know this for goddamn sure... I'm never loading a "real" organ onto a stage ever again. Thats dumb these days, unless looking cool is cooler than being able to stand up straight ever again. I don't really believe in the idea of a "legitimate" instrument. Seems like judging hairdos to me.

It never counted unless you were also bringing the dual leslie cab as well.

Let's be serious, anything approximating an "organ tone" can be considered as an organ, and that includes samples of organ sounds. Otherwise we'd have to separate this thread into like 50 different threads for just pipe organs alone.

I'm not arguing the legitimacy of instruments at all, but rather trying to establish what the boundaries of the discussion are.
If a Nord Electro is an organ, should we talk about Dx7 patches too?
DIY and die anyway.

Unless it is something as removed as a Mellotron/Optigan?

Why not?

Even then, if someone said "Organ..." when it came to an organ recording on either of them?

I'd just give it a "Uh... Why not?..."
