Hi all - I've returned from, gosh, nowhere specific. I lost the password for this but I managed to boot my old-old-old computer which had the password cached in a browser and I'm here. Now happily on the new-new-new computer. What's new?

My experience with these is that you have to have very precise fingerings to get it to sound "organ like". It's definitely got the sound but some people finger chords in a very guitaristic way so you might have to practice to get it to sound good (specifically using voicings not commonly...
