I’m interested as well. Hammond is really vague, in my opinion.

My Electro 5D. Does everything and no matter the gig, it never stays home!

Thanks for the Info, Mitch! Tom

Where is the US dealer for Mag? I'd love to try one. I'm in New York (Westchester County)

I had asked a similar question on another thread. Hammond seems to blur the lines between their product specs and this makes it really tough to compare them. I wonder how the B3 section of the XKpro compares with thw XK4c. I’m not stuck on having “multi contacts” or anything else like that.

That’s cool, because I find myself covering a lot of 70’s and Cars tunes, these days. I should download the manual and give it a good reading!

How flexible are the synth pads in the SK pro?

Funny thing, I own B3X both on iPad and Mac…used it heavily in studios but never live. I use an Electro 5D. I might try the software live soon.

How does the organ and Leslie sim in the SK pro compare to the XK 4? Is it just hype or is it significantly better? if it we’re approaching the quality of the B3 X software then it would be a justifiable upgrade.

Sorry for this elementary question, Scott.. if you use Jump Desktop, how do you connect Mac? Via USB or WiFi? I’d think that at a gig, using WiFi might not be so reliable. Am I missing something?

Very cool! I think I have the app but never used it. I’ll fire it up and let you know how it goes!

Ehhhh. I guess I’m spoiled. My Electro 5D does everything I need it to do.

The organ sounds pretty good. not quite in the same company as upper tier Clonewheels BUT that’s not the purpose of this board. I’m going to search for a similar extended review of the Numa’s organ section. The real problem is that a “next level up board” like a YC61 or MOJO 61 isn’t a heck of a lot more money; though the CK61 and Numa both offer better portability and built in speakers for rehearsals and/or small intimate gigs. Decisions..decisions🤣🤣

So what's the overall take between the CK61 and Numa Compact X SE? Most important to me are the organ and piano. (my biggest complaint with these budget keyboards is the "wall wart" external power supplies. UGH>>>>) To clarify further: My synth needs are particular sounds I get out of MainStage and are only used for certain tribute bands I play in. So the money and transport are not a problem and I can take whatever I want. But for local gigs (which there are far more of!!!) and as a good backup/supplement for my trusty Electro 5, I need organs and pianos that will cover when the Nord is doing something else. After watching demos of the Numa, it seems more appealing to me. 88 notes and less costly. I played the CK61 a few months ago and had mixed feelings about it.

I have Moises, Fadr and the standalone app simple stems. They all are slightly different in how accurate they are. Sometimes I’ll use all 3. I’d suggest trying demos of all of them and seeing which one you like best!
