Analog synthesizer with an organ part which has drawbars to simulate an organ, no pitch, just a little knob that many use to but is not essential to the machine, a synth part that can be hacked, with an array of simple but effective command, only the string part is not editable can eat other sounds and effects, but does not have control. against by icing on the cake you can connect a REAL Leslie to play well realistic organ ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration and use is a beast and yet simplicity can be beautiful thing when we taste with not much! The fact there is only one bin then you can not go wrong with what some good settings you imitate a little flanger but it never vaudras pedal while pensan I think that's what makes the machine

SOUNDS

So hear us well, this is not a Oberheim nor Solinar etc., it is a bit dry and even with a sustain pedal must add reverb and delay is not a luxury, but still there are nice and warm and captivating, contrary to what I read I can say that with a little bit out of the hack is very solid lead and bass sounds, for everything is not against playing arpeggiator tablecloths, was very Wholesale limited in color and can evolve sandstone mix and added sound effects, I even imitated the sounds of punk and aft clavinet a little space with a whawha delay effect and phaser and it sounds serious!
As the organ part if you have a curious mind with a sense of imagination we arrive at surprising result, I connect a distortion pedal and play with lamba harmonic tirrettes frankly I wonder if it's worth the cost spend astronomical sums for a correct hammond organ sounds, when you see that old machines produce, I try to make a demo is stunning!

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly I play everything with, funk, rock, electro rock, jazz (good for my level!) And I enjoy it even surprising that little synth can do with these silly little knob! A machine as I love devoid of superfluous playing on bidouill this is a goodly if you want to save your preset I suggest you take your mobile phone to photograph the control panel and print! But working in the heat and good humeure! The SK20 yamaha still a lot of resource and it has not exhausted all combined with the new technology it has its place on stage or in a studio, you learn humility and perseverance while giving you much warmth and support in your dial a realism that only the analog for you to 200 euro up my purchase I have no regrets and especially it's well worth maybe more!
