Any of those is fine actually. But don't use the presets please, connect it to a pc or a laptop with a MIDI interface, that's art.

Clavia Nord LeadFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaClavia Nord Lead is the first virtual analog subtractive synthesizer developed in Sweden, being released to the public by Clavia in 1995. This synthesizer was distinctive for its red coloration and knob-laden surface, it was later identified as avant-garde to the Clavia Nord Lead line of synthesizers. After the post release of the Nord Lead, several updates followed suit; such as the Nord Lead 2, Nord Lead 2x, and Nord Lead 3. The Nord Lead pursued its mission to emulate the classic analog sounds of the Roland TB-303 and the Minimoog, the Nord Lead in itself has now been crowned a classic. Nord lead synthesizers have been used by many notable musicians, including Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Beck, Jean Michel Jarre, Keane and the Pet Shop Boys. |

I agree on the Hammond. I recently went to see a new UK band called Inner Noise who are kind of jazz rock but claim prog (Yes, ELP) influences. They were really good. Guitarist (Akkerman/McLaughlin influenced) was excellent and so was the drummer. The keyboardist was very talented but he got this godawful cheesy "organ" sound from his Korg. It made me long for the days of Hammonds and Leslie speakers. Something with a bit of balls!
