«  all I wanted »

Published on 03/23/12 at 09:19
Splitables 5 octaves, his ability to multi organ + piano for example.
Read the documentation on the site hammond europe for more info.
The organ sounds are top

UTILIZATION

config simple, manual in French at hammond europe,
I personally have had with the English manual (suits me).
Editing sounds simple and direct access to certain functions.
I did not go digging deep, I have not had time yet.

SOUNDS

The organ sounds are very realistic, the other sounds are fine for me.
They are multi-sampled and sensitive to touch. There is no aftertouch, but I personally do not use it or mod wheel either.
Against by the feel of the keyboard is what I wanted for a long time, not too soft
not too hard, I have more aches fingers. For connoisseurs harder
a akai pro but lighter than a piano korg.
The onboard effects are what they are asked and there is a dedicated knob for each.
I especially like the ring modulator. Everything is controllable via midi, it's the highlight of this unit.
So that if you want a modulation wheel you can also add a MIDI pedal, if you want to order
harmonics via controller also twelve o'clock.

OVERALL OPINION

range: 3 months
I was looking for a keyboard neither too soft nor too hard or too expensive to do everything,
MIDI and the kitchen too. I'm happy.
The organ sounds are top in all registers in all octaves without bending.
(I also like the sounds church).
What I like is that it keeps the settings and access to sounds directly with
several dedicated keys. Its featherweight.
We can add new sounds on a USB key, but the format of these
is not provided, so that there is limited on this side has download existing ones on the site hammond (which are up thankfully).
There is a built-in audio player, but I wish he read a piece in a loop.
This is the best keyboard I've had my hands since the DX7.
