This is the MODEL of the rack 8 vk (vk 88)
Rglage prenregistr or pull in real time.
No USB edition ...
Possibility of sound to the keyboard by the matre module (2 audio input and 2 output audio + midi in / out)
The bad thing (and I mean the ONLY bcanne this monstrous) is that you can not dclencher leslie the foot.
No dclenchement at the foot of Leslie but the hand (with the d-beam c super!)

UTILIZATION

Trs simple configuration because a single function: the organ sounds that kill! no LCD no sub menus, hyphens, and pots!
Manuel superfluous!

SOUNDS

The sounds are incredible! Everything is there! Texture, saturation, overdrive, the "key click" if CHARACTERISTICS. And especially the simulation of leslie. is necessary to say anything to try it!
I use it mainly for jazz and electro jazz (Francesco, Larry Young, Jimmy, etc ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months. This is trs longntemps I m'intresse in his "vintage". I possd a VK-7, and I sold it! leslie simulation of the silent rotten one silent counting!. I have a jv 1080, with the card ... 60/70 c not bad, but not convincing use trs . I just bought the Nord Electro 2 (bcanne this is monstrous, I have never heard sounds like rhodes!) And many dear friends, my ears as an organist and electro jazz fans are clear: the VK-8 (m) ahead of a head all these machines (trs a short head for the north electro).
I have never heard! (Except playing vai a B-3 with leslie and everything). What is striking is the texture of her: never garish trs always hot and dense, the overdrive, saturation yes! but never agrssif. It is imperative the SSAI.
I Rasht immediately (or so the VK-8!) (Or while the VK-88) and then the vk-888 .... uh no! beyond the 30 kilos j'arrte!
I will day between the North and him!
1st implementation date (May 20, 2004): North end electro and VK-8M are really close in terms of quality even if the texture is Different. I wonder if the reflection is not the best leslie on the north?
I will give day ..
