StanC Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Why does my 1' drawbar go silent when percussion is turned on? (Never had a real tone wheel with percussion, so I'm not sure if something is wrong or the XK-1 is mimicking the real thing.)

(Never had a real tone wheel with percussion, so I'm not sure if something is wrong or the XK-1 is mimicking the real thing.) It is mimicking the real thing. Think of it as "borrowing" the electronics from one thing in order to do something else. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

Pale Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 You can also turn that off somewhere in the options, but it's how the real hammond behaves. Custom handmade clocks: www.etsy.com/shop/ClockLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldwin Funster Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 WOW. The "Hammond is not a Hammond" thing. I havent seen that around here in it seems like a year. Welcome back old friend. FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well, when someone says "I play a hammond " an image of a dude playing XK1 isn't really the thing that pops in your mind. I'm aware that hammond is the manufacturer, but that was not the point. The point was one can turn the bloody option off. Don't nitpick, I love my Xk1. I would love a B3/C3/A100 a wee bit more. I would also love a real ferrari. http://ecofriend.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ferrari_esvie_2_w3EUa_5638.jpg Custom handmade clocks: www.etsy.com/shop/ClockLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 It is mimicking the real thing. Also, you fell into the same pit one post before me. Your post implies that the XK1 is not the real thing, but I am called out for saying "not a real hammond" :D Everything would've been just dandy if I used "thing" instead of "hammond" I guess Custom handmade clocks: www.etsy.com/shop/ClockLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanC Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just a BTW, when I started this thread I was careful on my choice of words and used "real tone wheel". Clearly that distinguishes between the Hammonds some call "real" vs. the "imposters" (also affectionately referred to as clones). And my reference to "real thing" in the second sentence was really a call back to the previous sentence. But we still couldn't avoid the debate. . .

Based on the message I was replying to, "real thing" referred to " a real tone wheel" organ. Good try, though. ;-) Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!
