MathOfInsects Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Out of the blue Hammond released a new thread about its M Solo organ/synth board. This one offers a color upgrade but preserves the hyphen from one the previous releases. I can see this new thread being useful for anyone who liked the old threads but wanted a more exciting subject line or a pop of color in the description. What do you guys think? 1 1 3 Quote Now out!

Adan Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 You didn't mention that the new thread adds a zero onto the price tag,. Now potential buyers' heads can explode in 1/10th the time of the previous model. Irrelevant for me, as I will keep using my 1979 Korg CX-3 previously owned by a chain-smoking elephant. 4 Quote Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drawback Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I like this new thread, but almost missed it when it didn’t have Lachie-Dachie in the title.

stoken6 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 It's a tough market. Key competitors are "Hammond MSolo", "Hammond M-Solo" and "Surprise from Hammond! New M-Solo". This one's shorter, which will annoy purists who want long arguments about drawbar settings. On the other hand, I guess it's easier to read on a smartphone on public transport outside the US, like the NY subway. And I think they've missed a trick. Yes there's a hyphen, but who needs two exclamation marks in a Hammond thread these days? Plus, this is clearly intended to pair with an amplification thread (that almost always includes a mono/stereo discussion). So how about some keyboard stand topics? Hammond thread + keyboard stand thread would be a winner imho. Cheers, Mike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadroj Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 My thread was first (posted literally seconds after the page went live) and had copied excerpts from the official page, as well as an embedded YouTube video. It was as good as you like. But then someone went and Behringered my thread. Now I can’t afford to feed my kids. Thanks, everyone. As the old saying goes: “Nadroj - everything else is just a clone.” Anyways, my Nord Stage 4 thread is still going strong. And the other ones. 1 5 Quote Hammond SKX Mainstage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artomas Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Which of these threads has the highest trigger point? Also, which has the best rotary effect? When the thread is spinning around in circles, I want the arguments to sound like they're coming out of a REAL Leslie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherScott Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I've been up and down this thread a dozen times, I can't find it, where's the harpsichord post? Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping it would be more like a 49-key version of an SK1 or an XK-1c but it's just not. Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
