3 жыл бұрын / @nickfoleyuk Good morning / afternoon /evening,
I hope you are al doing well? In this installment of the SK-Pro series we react to the new Hammond, get our first impressions and learn together what it can do.
Will the organ sounds as good as the XK-5, are the piano and strings sounds up to snuff and does that mono synth rock! Let's find out in this extended test drive!
With thanks to Hammond UK and Bonners music for supplying the organ, if you are in the UK then you KNOW where to go to get one!
PS: If you like this there is more on the way so please don't forget to take a moment to like and subscribe and if you press the notification bell you will be notified when I upload the next installment.
thanks for listening and thanks for watching x More from me exclusively at / nickfoleyuk

Love the way you’ve presented this. No marketing nonsense, just going through and saying what you think in the moment - one of the best overviews I’ve seen, thanks. That wurly and clav does sound pretty nice; seems they’ve really upped their game when it comes to extra voices. Could certainly see this passing the “1-keyboard test” for 99% of the bands I play in. You got any more videos with this planned?

Hi Jordon sorry for the late reply. I plan for a couple yes. The more manufacturers send me evaluation units the more I’ll do. Thanks!

This is my kind of review. Much play and the talk I care about hearing. Look forward to hear you review the SKX Pro soon. Do you have a donation link or that sort of thing?

Anyone… Is the Sk’s keybed a completely smooth waterfall-type, or is there a small but perceptible lip at the edge?

Thanks for the great first impression review! I've been wondering, though, does Sk PRO have built in The Doors' VOX Continental organ sound as well?
@nickfoleyuk 2 жыл бұрын
I think so but would have to check. This organ was given to me for two weeks by Hammond UK so I don’t have it to check now. The XK5 has one so I would imagine the SK does too

“In addition to the great Drawbar sounds, the SK PRO also models the Italian, British and Japanese transistorized Combo Organs which have come back into style in today’s music. The player can also call upon a full range of Classical Pipe Organ Voices, and for the first time in any modern keyboard a range of Theatre Pipe Organ Voices is now included.”

Must say I´m quite impressed, still curious if you have tried out the competition, e.g the Yamaha YC61 and of course, the Nord Electro? I am quite convinced that the Hammond has the best Hammond sound though...

@@nickfoleyuk YC organ sounds are pretty good and very customizable. But the piano keys make it hard to do proper organ jam with the ornamentals and such.
@nickyates9820 2 жыл бұрын
@@nickfoleyuk IMO the Yamaha YC-61 organ engine is so-so in today's standard. Yes you can customize it and do a lot of good stuff with that keyboard - but as far as the sound quality goes, there are plenty of hammond clones out there that can top it. The somewhat stripped down XK-5 sound engine in the SK-pro I can confidently say is far superior to it.

Do you have the waterfall keybed

A wonderful fast go through, but I'm disappointed that when you got to the synth, and talked about how much your a fan of overdrive, you didn't turn the overdrive all the way up!

Why you only connected in Mono?
@nickfoleyuk 3 жыл бұрын
Most gigs are in mono so from a live point of view it made sense. Later in the series the Leslie 145 comes out so the comparison is closer I think. Maybe not?

Because if it sounds good in mono, it will sound GREAT in stereo!
