From 1939... come the world's first polyphonic synth... developed by Hammond... kind of like the old Hammond Wurlitzers meets a Mellatron, played by Vangelis on a warm Tuesday... or something?

Hollow Sun [http://blog.hollowsun.com/] are on a mission to multi-sample this beast [which apparently was catalyst for the mellatron] in Kontakt form [EXS24 plz?]
anyway, here's a vid:
