No, and I wish I did. The closest thing I can think of would be the Eowave Persephone, though I've never actually used or even seen/heard one.

Reamping keys can be a beautiful thing. I've sent tracks from Reason's subtractor through a tube amp, miked to tape, and then back to digital. Glorious.

I've wanted a good sample of one for a while, and haven't found any.

I would take an organ, like a non-Hammond type sound (Vox? Farfisa?) and make it thin and reedy sounding, put some vibrato on it and put a TON of reverb on it and play the solo to Runaway or the melody to Telstar.

Neither has anyone else. It's been vaporware for a long time... though they brought it to NAMM again this year.

I think Casio through Tweed is a SUPERB idea.

Try out a Hammond S-6... all tube...3 octave keyboard ....it has a mono tube synth in it... plus a chord organ(96 different chords!!!!) and strings and flute organ stops. They only weigh about 80 lbs. and are pretty small. I have seen 'em go on ebay for under 200 bucks.... you pick it up, of course....

Just got an email announcing that it's finally on the market, though at a pretty significantly higher price. Still don't really know how it sounds, though.
