Well, the patches I got from Bo Tomlyn were incredible, I can't recall the algorithm I started with, but I believe it was the one where the operators were all basically straight across, but I am testing my memory here.

Bo managed to give it an earthy ballsy chorusy sound, and the mod wheel introduced a very convincing fast Leslie that was very cool back then. I had many other pro keyboard guys asking me what I used to get that "great Hammond sound", and a few thought I used another module.

I also used to MIDI the DX7MKII to my Jupiter 8, but, the latter was kind of precious, and I didn't like taking to too many gigs, so I ended up getting the Casio CZ-1 and running it into a Roland/Boss effects unit. With a bit of judicious programming, and the right effects, it sounded much better than many more expensive polys back then. Sort of a "DX7-meets-Juno60-meets-Prophet5" sound.

But as far as the DX7MKII doing organ sounds (also had some excellent Farfisa patches from Bo), I was more than pleased with what I was using...but, again, sound is subjective, but I have owned, and still play the real deal, and I thought it sounded close enough for my needs back then.
