JpScoey Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 ...is filling up my music room. That's right -- my Hammond XK-3c was delivered today. w00t!!! Congrats Dave - the 'smell' of unpacking a new 'board out of the box is definitely on a par with the smell of sitting inside a new car ! ! ! I had to flip a coin to decide between the XK3-C & the XK-1. I chose the XK-1 purely 'cos of its lighter weight - & I LOVE it. I'm sure you'll have hours (weeks / months, even years!) of fun with it John. some stuff on myspace Nord: StageEX-88, Electro2-73, Hammond: XK-1, Yamaha: XS7 Korg: M3-73 EXpanded, M50-88, X50, Roland: Juno D, Kurzweil: K2000vp.

Mr. Nightime Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Nice! Nothing like that the fresh feel of a new keyboard that has only had one pair of hands play it. My Yamaha MM8 is due in Friday, and I'll probably get no sleep that night. Good thing I have a good pair of headphones. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome.

PianoMan51 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Let's see. A car loses that new car smell when a kid pukes in the back seat. Your microphone loses that new smell when you lend it to your beer-drinking bass player. What makes a keyboard lose that new smell... 'clam' juice?

Mr. Nightime Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 The smell is permeating my office right now. My Yamaha MM8 came in today. It's already a fast friend.

Mr. Nightime Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 OK. I'm in love I just plugged the MM8 directly into the K10. Oh.My.God I called up Vintage'74, and thought I had a Rhodes stage 73 in here. Great tone, and just the right amount of bark. Wurli Amped is a beautiful thing as well. I love the Agressive Piano. It'll be perfect for the blues, as it's got a nice mellow tone, but has some nice bite when you romp on it. Very expressive, very usable. The Classic Grand and Warm Grand are very nice and will be just what I need for Country and ballads, and bright piano will cut through on Rock songs. Split and layer is one button press. The built in patterns will be great for practice, and as a songwriting tool. The only drawback I've found so far is there's no speed control for the Leslie effect, but since I already have a Hammond, it really doesn't matter to me. The organ sounds, while I won't use them in performance, work great for rehearsal, so I only need to bring one board, the K-10. and a couple cords. Really cuts down on the Schlep factor. Overall, I'm a happy guy. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."

NoahZark Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 The only drawback I've found so far is there's no speed control for the Leslie effect.... Doesn't the mod wheel control Leslie speed (all the way up is fast; all the way down is slow)? If not, can't you assign the mod wheel to work that way, or is this just a limitation of the MM6 itself?

Noah P.S. Congrats to you both on your new purchases! The Mod Wheel only adds Vibrato, and I haven't found somewhere to change it. There's actually very little effect control. I guess they figured that with 25 reverb types, 30 chorus options, and 189 other effect choices, you could find what you wanted without tweaking. Sure, there are some limitations with this board, but considering that it's aimed at the gigging player, I don't have any complaints. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome.
