Hammond XK1 61-Key Modeling Organ Reviews

"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

"B3 under your arm"
Feature:
since it's a single manual keyboard the key split is nice and the bass to the lower keys give you that extra thump you need when you don't have the midi foot pedals atached
Quality:
the side panels chip very easily so be carful with that but the keys feel great nice and solid and good respose the buttons feel firm when pushed and don't fell like they will break under pressure
Value:
We always want it cheaper :) but I didn't mind the price because I needed an organ and it's has already paid for itself
Desirability:
I dream about it and can't wait to get my hands on it and carress those keys
Sound:
although nothing beats the real thing it's sound is so close only organ prurist will know the difference
Ease of Use:
right out the box it's playable easy manual to follow
Support:
n/a
Overall:
this is my organ from now on. I love the sound and the features it's not the first clone wheel I've owned but I think it's the last I can't see them improving over this one
