It's bearable when set to SOFT with a short DECAY. Just remember that on the E6 Percussion doesn't cancel the 9th Drawbar.

Hi Folks. I've been using an Electro 6 for a few years. I agree - the organ percussion feature is absolutely terrible and unusable. I have a work around that is, well, just a workaround. I run the B3 organ with the percussion turned off, and instead dial in some EP8 Neferitti (from the piano section). Depending on the song, I sometimes transpose the EP8 down an octave. Again, just a workaround, but for me it helps get some percussive attack.

If you want to keep the NE6 for the rest of the sounds and just improve the B3 without spending big money, you may just get the VB3m app on a smartphone/tablet and connect it to NE6 via MIDI (USB) + Audio (Output of smartphone/tablet to Monitor IN of NE6)

Regarding a B3 Hammond app, I can highly recommend the B3-X app by IK Multimedia. Although it is a bit more expensive than others, the sound and the range of settings are very impressive.
