Quanti suoni, effetti? Quali stili? Possono essere editati? attravero un programma di utilty Mac/PC? Qual è la polifonia?...
2↑. Il suono o l'editing degli effetti è semmplice? Il manuale è abastanza chiaro e dettagliato?... La configurazione / setup generale è semplice?
3↑. Sono realistici? Cosa pensi di questi effetti? E' accettabile l'espressività? (sensbilità del tocco, rilascio)? Quali sono is uoni che odi o ami? Sono trasparenti i convertitori A/D e D/A?
4↑. Cosa ti piace di più e cosa di meno di questa? Hai provato molti altri modelli prima di trovare questo? Qual è la tua opinione sul rapporto qualità/prezzo? Sapendo allora ciò che sai adesso rifaresti la stessa scelta?... Precisione e qualità del suono?

Caratteristiche
What type of keyboard (synth, piano...)? How many octaves?

This keyboard is a synth, but it's specifically designed to emulate organs so it acts more like an organ. It's got a full polyphony of 147 notes, which is just over 12 octaves.

What controllers (pitch, modulation, sustain...)?

There are over 20 drawbars that are individually controlled. They are made to resemble those of an actual electric organ. Interestingly, there are drawbar presets available, something that no Hammond Organ has. There are also percussion controls and vibrato/chorus control. The drawbars control the tone as well. There's also the EQ; there's the standard lo, mid, and hi controls, there's overdrive, three speaker simulations (including a phenomenal Leslie Simulation with speed control), delay and reverb.

What connection types are there (Audio, MIDI, pedals...)?

There are so many connections that I had to double check! There's a Stereo Headphone Output, 2 Line Level Audio Outputs, 2 High Level Outputs (one for a Leslie, one 1/4”). There's a Sustain Pedal Input, Rotor Pedal Input, Swell Pedal Input, MIDI In, MIDI Out, Bass Pedal MIDI In, and a USB.

<div>

How many sounds, effects? What styles? Can they be edited? Through a Mac/PC utility program?

The synth has three models; Classic Tone Wheel (Hammond B3, basically), Vox Continental and Farfisa. There are also the previously mentioned effects that each have their own controls (overdrive, chorus vibrato, delay, reverb). The 20 drawbars make it as close as possible to an actual organ sound. The sounds can be edited with Mac programs (don't have a PC, so I don't know what they have in terms of capabilities). I have had good luck EQing them in ProTools and Logic.

What's the polyphony?...

147 notes. </div>
Facilità d'uso
Is the sound or effects editing easy?

The sound editing is a little intimidating for those not used to dealing with organs, but overall it's not too difficult. It helps to know exactly what kind of sound you want when looking for it, and knowing how organs work makes it a piece of cake.

Is the manual clear and sufficient?...

There are so many features on this keyboard that a complicated manual is almost inevitable; luckily this one is pretty easy to navigate.

Is the general configuration/setup simple?

The setup of this instrument is pretty easy. It can get pretty complex when you actually hook up a Leslie speaker and use all of the potential inputs and outputs but generally it's not too bad. It also beats a real organ when it comes to setting it up, and it's way easier to carry. It is capable of being used with a MIDI bass pedal too, which makes it pretty adaptable.
Suono
Are they realistic?

I have never heard a more realistic organ sound out of anything other than an actual organ. The fact that it has three distinct organ sounds is pretty amazing. I've never played a Farfisa or a Vox continental organ but from recordings that I've heard, this is pretty accurate. By that I mean it's accurate enough that I wouldn't know if it was the real thing or not if I heard it. The B3, on the other hand, is expertly reproduced here. It's so incredibly reminiscent of the actual thing that it's amazing. Even if you don't have a Leslie, the simulation of it is amazingly faithful to the original sound. It's got all the warmth, power and grit of a real B3. It doesn't get really thin like most synths do.

What do you think about the effects?

I don't know if I could say anything about the effects in particular. They are almost the same effects you'd find on an actual organ, and they are made to emulate one perfectly. That said, the reverb and delay are pretty nice. The overdrive gives you a great tone.

Is the expressiveness acceptable? (touch sensitivity, aftertouch)?

The sensitivity is great! My biggest complaint with most keyboards is how fake and unrealistic they feel under your fingers. This wisely avoids that. It feels a lot like a Hammond Organ.

What sounds do you like or hate?

I can't say I hate any of the sounds. This is because I love organs! I tend to use the B3 sound more than the others because I prefer that, though occasionally I'll put on the Farfisa and really enjoy it, too.

Are the A/D and D/A convertors transparent?

Yes.
Opzioni Generali
What thing do you like most/least about it?

I like the incredibly accurate tones that this keyboard can achieve; it puts synths to shame for the most part.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I've tried some other models but didn't really like any of them enough to be interested. Once we got this at the studio, I couldn't stop playing it!

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

I can't say for sure that I'm too crazy about the price; it's really expensive (usually upwards of $2500). It's a great piece of gear but it's probably best left to professionals or people who are really great at organ and can't afford a real one of their own, or simply don't have the space for it. It's certainly an investment, but it's definitely better than buying a crappy synth!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...

Don't accept anything less if you are absolutely committed to real organ sounds (unless you have the space/time/money for the real thing!). This is the only organ synth I'd ever buy (at least until they make something even better!)

Precision and quality of the sound?

The sound quality of this keyboard can't really be underestimated. It's so rich and full, it's surprising how many people aren't aware of these! Hands down the best B3 simulator out there, and since it's so easy to move and travel with, it's more ideal than the real thing!
