Nice.  I think, also, one extra standard jazz settings is 838000000.  That's used quite often for running jazz bass lines where the bass doesn't need to be heavy and thick.

Anyone has settings for a Yamaha D3 organ? Its my home organ and the only one I have to learn on. I'm a new musician and know it won't sound like a Hammond but it's all I have.

I think he's referring to when you use the upper and lower levels on the Hammond. Probably what kind of drawboards settings would you use for both levels at the same time.
