Thank you Tomaaz,

I will definitely look into the entire list you pointed me to, and I'll start with that free VST plugin though it does seem to be 32-bit only and a little problematic in terms of latency.

Mike, I just realised that MuLab (the DAW I mentioned before) comes with several B3 sounds.

Chopin (Etude Op. 10 No. 1 in C) on Hammond organ attached. 

[Mike Lobanovsky]

That's not exactly the Hammond sound that I need (I'm more into the John Lord of Deep Purple hard rock style of doing things) but thanks anyway Tomaaz, it was fun to listen to!

MuLab looks like a good choice. I don't need full DAW functionality; 4 free tracks and 2 IO channels are just fine for me. Its built-in Hammond presets sound too weak but I've found a couple of paid Hammond VST plugins that I can afford and that are working well in MuLab's 64-bit environment. Overall, that's probably what I'll stick to for the time being.

Thanks again for helping me out with all this. Looks like I should've addressed my original question to you rather than Dunny. You da man!

I don't really do anything musical, and I certainly don't make any. I just code the tools for others to do it.

Glad I could help.

The great thing about MuLab is that it works very well under Wine. Let's be honest - audio on Linux still sucks. It's getting better but it's nowhere close to the quality of audio stuff for Windows. Thanx to MuLab you can have a beginner-friendly DAW that works under Linux out of the box. You don't know how I wish I had a tool like that back in the 90s, when I was really into making and playing music. Now I neither have time or energy to create something serious with it, but from time to time it's fun to work on some simple ideas.

I don't know anything about DAWs or music programming, so I'm not sure if this is useful or interesting - but I came across this website when looking.

http://ethanwiner.com/articles.html

It's an eclectic website from a fellow with musical interests and a background in BASIC programming.

[Mike Lobanovsky]

The guy concentrates on the hardware side of electronic music that seems to be outdated by some 25 or 30 years. Still an interesting read as a historical background to what we have today.

I  just install Vivaldi 
And looks that work fine on win7 32bit 
It looks that work faster than Opera but is not fast as K-meleon which i use all the time.

[Aurel]

Wow Vivaldi telling me that this site is not secure 
something strange is this days http..https what a heck is with all this crap ?

[ZXDunny]

This site uses HTTP, which is outdated and very vulnerable to attack - if you're daft enough to use the same password on this site as say, your primary email account or your windows/apple accounts then an attacker could siphon that information out as you log into the site and use it to attack other places you're known on.

HTTPS is more resilient to that sort of thing.

[ScriptBasic]

I fully agree and why the sites I host are all https. (Let's Encrypt - Free Certs)

[Aurel]

HTTPS is more resilient to that sort of thing.

Yeah ..for which amount of time *
I think that this is just a bull-shit something else like more
control from IT companies...

..the problem is with browsers ...you have one thing bookmarked
then when you tried to open then nothing ..need https 
what a crap with all this mumbo-jumbo   

So for now VIVALDI work fine and i like it. 

[ScriptBasic]

The fact that Google is flagging http sites as unsafe is motivation enough for me to upgrade the sites I host. If you care about your search ratings, switch to https.

The fact that Google is flagging http sites as unsafe

That is one of resons why must paid lot of money to EU.
Whenever i can i avoid Google and use Bing or DDGo.
