  1. I am attaching a spoken word file which is a devotional with keyboard playing in the background. It's some kind of piano patch with shimmering string-type synth as well. While it may be impossible to know exactly what board or software (Omnishpere?) is being used, I would be thrilled if anyone could identify the source of this amazing music. 14. The Impact of Forgiveness_1.mp3
  2. There are a handful of worship-oriented keyboard players that I want to kind of learn their chord patterns, as well as some of the bass notes they play while changing chords. Most of the audio is found on Youtube, guys like Noah Wonder, Alberto Rivera and Jackie Baker. What is the latest and greatest software tool out there to help with this challenge?
  3. I found a large mousepad and got some double sided tape, good to go!
  4. I am using a Hammond FS-9H at church while playing my XK-3c. It works great. But it loves to move around on the carpet. I'm looking for a clever idea of a way to solve the movement problem. Some kind of mounting surface. Plywood is too thick. Maybe an over-sided mouse pad that I could affix it to using double sided tape? Ideas?
  5. Hey I'm curious about the SX900 vs. the SX600 arranger boards. The 900 is over $2K but the 600's can be found on Ebay for around $600. How do the drum accompaniments compare between these two I wonder?
  6. I would like to hear your expert opinions on how the tone and the Leslie sim compares between these two Hammonds. Don't really care about keybed, action, features, percussion, etc. Just tone and Leslie sim quality. I heard an XK-5 in person yesterday and LOVED the tone, very rich and ballsy and I thought the Leslie sim was decent. Not great, but good enough especially in a band setting (worship service with vocals drums and guitars all through the mix). Thanks in advance.
  7. Found this Youtube video of Cory smoking on the XK-5, sounds sooooooo good. Do you guys think this thing is plugged into a real Leslie cabinet or is it the onboard simulator? Cory Henry plays the Hammond XK5 (youtube.com)
  8. Hey brenner, could you be more specific about hot the VB3m is easier to use than B3X? I would not want to control any virtual instrument from a tiny screen like an iPhone, I would want it to be on an iPad.
  9. This is strange, but I was totally unaware of the Hammond Solo. Just looked at that thread and the video demo by Bonner's near the end of the thread. I honestly thought it sounded damn good. I assume it was being played through the sim onboard and not a Leslie, pretty impressive to my ears.
  10. Thanks for all the incredible input, I have never seen a Numa. I love it when Outkaster says "SK Pro." I'm sure I could find one for a lot less money than the XK-5.
  11. Long story. CX3 died. BX3 on iPad too fidgety for my tastes. I have a Fantom 06 but the tonewheel organ just sounds like shit, not really sure why. I need a Hammond clone, I own a Ventilator 2. I am extremely finicky about Leslie sims. I hate it when on fast speed you can hear a warbling sound (hard to describe). I think the key is that the source samples when completely "braked" have to just sound normal when processed through a Ventilator. I realize some may say that the SK Sim is perfectly good. I have not heard it. So I would like to make my starting point this .... "which Hammond clone sounds awesome on *fast* when being processed by a Ventilator or other Leslie simulator?" I should also say that I don't want to spend $3K plus. Haven't totally decided what my budget is, but would prefer to avoid $3K plus .... willing to go with used gear here.
  12. I decided to try IK media's BX3 software for my Hammond needs. So I have a powerful iPad Pro and I normally use Safari for web browsing. Prior to downloading BX3, I am trying to download the IK Multimedia program called IK Product Manager. I can see it downloading, but when I try to open it on my iPad, all it does is show me an image of a folder but it never actually opens and installs the software. This might have something to do with iCloud (which I hate). I need advice on how to actually get downloads to open on my iPad. By the way, I could not find IK Product Manager in the App store for Apple products.
  13. I want to play Hammond organ patches on my Kronos but I want to route my cables into a Leslie simulator (similar to Ventilator). I can't figure out how to disable the rotating speaker (Leslie) effect on the Kronos Hammond patches. There must be a way to do it?
