"XK-1 For Players"

Sound:
Ya know I have agonized over this purchase since “clonewheels” came out. I have played almost every keyboard that has been manufactured in the last 40 years. All of them without exception have had a couple of good organ patches that were close but none of them gave you the flexibility or the sound of a “real” Hammond. Well I bit the bullet and bought the XK1 and I must say that I am truly home after an almost 30 year search for a synth. It happened as soon as I turned it on and pushed the first key! This is the “Real-Deal” the original synthesizer. Everything is right where you would expect it to be if you have ever played a console before. The sounds are the “DNA” sound that afflict anyone who has ever heard and experienced the power and emotion of a real Hammond. I can not explain all the other reviews…believe me I read them to. But let me tell you as a player you owe it to yourself to pick-up one of these beauty’s. There’s a lot of talk about the Leslie simulation and programmability but I’m hear to tell you it is fantastic. If the Leslie simulation is still not what you are looking for you can plug the XK1 into a Leslie and it will knock your socks off. As far as programmability is concerned the registration (draw bars) are the same as the B or C the other types of parameter are laid out well and do have some common sense to them. All-In-All I have not been this excited to play since I stopped lugging the C3 around in 1978. Thanks to the Hammond company for giving me back my youth, creativity and inspiration!! Meh Arizona

"Great product. Best Hammond clone (it Is a Hammond, after all!)"

Feature:
Features are OK. I wish it had seperate drawbars for the split function.

Quality:
The product looks and works nicely

Value:
Good value for the money compared with other similar keyboards.

Desirability:
It is finished well and is tastefully decorated. The fit and finish give it the class that Hammond is known for.

Sound:
Sound is excellent. I have a Hammond M-3 so I have a good standard to compare to.

Ease of Use:
Easy to play and figure out. The manual is a little hard to read but it is well layed out.

Support:
I have had two fairly serious problems and I ended up solving them myself.

Overall:
A LONG TIME
