  1. I got interested and found a Hammond B3/C3 service manual on the net: https://www.hammondtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Hammond B3C3.pdf From section 2-29 in the manual: «Every year fill the oil cups three-quarters full with oil.»
  2. I love red. But wish they stop bother us with new downloadable samples. Enough is enough.
  3. Change family to a home with a decent piano and no brothers bullying me when trying to exercise the classical stuff on an old upright with wooden frame.
  4. Glad I’m both serious and hip!
  5. I suppose you are velcro’ed to a microphone stand to use both feet simultanously? 😃
  6. The first I learned when playing in a band was sitting in the background not to obstruct the guitar players 😀. Sitting is the only practical way to work an expression pedal, a control pedal, sustain pedal and kick the leslie switch.
  7. I can assure you that the Pari plasticwheel I bought in 1977 was just as heavy as a real L122 😀
  8. Some of us never had any training or theoretical insight at all. Those who have spent efforts in college or unversities to get a formal foundation have planned and hope to get be a professional. No blame to them.
  9. You don’t consider TP8O as semiweighted?
  10. My previous experience with the Fatar TP8O include the Korg CX3, Nord C1, Nord C2, Nord Stage 3 Compact, Doepfer d3m, Viscount Legend Live and none of these have changed character over time. I can not exclude that the springs soften after being broken in but that effect must be really small. My Mojo 61 is from 2017 but very little used. Either the production of soft springs are really inconsistent or they must have put in the wrong version in my Mojo 61B I am afraid.
  11. Test showed that my Mojo lower manual need about 12 grams more weight to activate the keys. Very significant and annoying when the manuals are so unbalanced.
  12. Re lower manual(Mojo 61B) different from Mojo 61: Bought my lower manual a couple of months ago and the touch is significantly heavier than the my Mojo 61. Will try to check with gram weights to verify the difference.
  13. That fact was new to me Scott 😉 However the Yamaha RA-200 speakers spin:

    Aha!

    Morton Harkett must be the US variant of Morten Harket 😉
  15. I don’t think the audience reacts or notice much if the keyboardist is sitting or standing while playing. Personally greatly prefer to sit as it is the way I learned and play greatly better. If it is neccessary to reach the keyboards in a stacked keyboard rig I accept the player is standing if not my perception is that (s)he is unserious.
  16. In reality this is the fourth generation of the Stage. They were released in 2005, 2011, 2017 and 2023. Guess when the Nord Stage 5 is planned 🤣
  17. No I think it is a messy setup of Dolby Digital 5.1 😀
  18. They pay 1000 kroner if you label it Korg, Yamaha or Roland.
  19. American football is a game, soccer is a sport. Average weight of players in NFL is 111.5 kg, soccer players in 2018 World Cup 77.2 kg. Must be to much popcorn and pepsi 😉
  20. Have you checked this site? https://www.synthonia.com
  21. No, SK1/SK2 use 8 pin DIN (midi use 5 pin DIN). The 8 pin connection to a Leslie support slow, fast, stop. Using the line in and external momentary switch pedal connected to the Leslie 3300 is a hassle since pressing the pedal for more than 1.5 seconds means stop. Easy to accidentally active stop when meaning to switch between fast/slow.
  22. Had a Genos for a couple of years and if you don’t intend to use the arranger features of it I would say the sounds is good, maybe on par but not better than any newer workstations. The pricing now is ridiculous, bought mine for about 3.300 euros and sold it for the same amount two years ago. It’s fun to play solo but in a band context most of the features are not really relevant.
  23. I have the same problem, currently the only solution is to limit the key range on the controlling keyboard. Another restriction is that it is not possible to run a clean organ output without leslie/amp sim to use an extetnal Leslie.
  24. You forgot Korg CX3 (digital 2001 version)
