All user reviews of 4/5 for the Roland VK-8

Clone tone wheel organ.

UTILIZATION

A feast to have good pull on the fingers.
A real exit Leslie!
on the other hand is domage not find the LCD VK7. For editing is a bit of misery? especially in the dark. It's "key combinations "............
The keyboard is excellent!
Can connect a 2nd keyboard.

SOUNDS

Not bad at all! Nicer (to my ears) that the Hammond-Suzuki of the time.
With a real leslie TERRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!! The brother of Chobby Popa, his keyboard, has demonstrated every time I saw him play on stage (on VK7).
It is his strong point, yet it is not sampling, but a very good "engine" virtual.
It sounds, whether in Funk, Jazz Rock in an old pump or on old-school reggae.
on the other hand, like all its competitors, the Leslie is poor ... Better buy a real!


OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its release, I knew well and liked the VK7. I tried the Hammond-Suzuki range of the time. I happened to play on old B3 not too bad (one almost new !)...
I also played on VK88 + L122, and there ...... almost the same feel as an original.
I love the organ while the galley edition of parameters is usually there but not too good editing.
Injury, the keyboard does not transmit MIDI velocity information !!!!!!!! Yet the internal sounds (Piano ... E) are susceptible.
It will not serve a master keyboard ds HS. It's a shame!

In any case it is a success, a little expensive in nine.
A couple with a Leslie !!!!!!!!
