2779.0. "Viscount 9E Drawbar SGU" by NIOMAX::LAING (Soft-Core Cuddler*Jim Laing*229-7808) Tue Dec 03 1991 18:10

    I saw a neat new item at Sam Ash in NY recently ...
    
    a Viscount 9E (never heard of Viscount...) drawbar "organ" without a
    keyboard!  IT's a MIDI SGU for drawbar sounds WITH REAL PHYSICAL
    DRAWBARS on it!
    
    Features as best I can remember ...
    	standard 9 drawbars
    	6 "preset" sounds plus ability to select drawbars
    	sound changes in "real time" as you change the drawbars
    	rotary speaker simulation (with footswitch jack on back)
    	key click switchable
    	volume control
    	variable control for "distortion" effect
    
    a few others I can't remember.  Looks like they sawed off the left part
    of the new Hammond or an old CX-3 (i.e. wood sides, about 12" wide
    unit)
    
    Sound?  Well, I couldn't easily compare it to anything else, but it
    seemed to sound decent.  Price was $699 list.
