Hammond XK-5 Tips, Tricks & Other Cool Stuff


Recommended Posts

The "Quick Start Guide" is 42 pages long.

 

:facepalm::cop::taz:

 

Lets face it, its an organ. The real quick start guide is:

 

Turn On

Play

 

 

The quick start guide actually seems to do a good job of walking new users through attaching a lower manual, pedals and other attachments and then using the menus to adjust the various features. It seems more of a tutorial and could make navigating the manual either easier or unnecessary.

To me knowledge no XK5 has shown up in the Portland Oregon area so I haven't seen or heard one either.

 

I am playing a Hammond Suzuki or sorts at the moment. An XK2 is controlling an HX3 module.

 

I really do prefer the XK2 keybed to most of what else is out there in the clonewheel world. The HX3 is programmed so that the XK2 drawbars will work with it - upper and lower manuals.

 

The HX3 could stand improvement but it is miles beyond the sound engine in the XK2 - obviously. It's a pretty good combination for practicing .
