Take 3 ,I'm now halfway through the video ,was gonna buy one....not now, yes nice instrument but as you say tiny screen,saving favourites etc, just like any other keyboard.too much technology, not simplified!!!

Hi, you like me, I'm an organist at heart, nowadays the keyboardist has evolved.not many of us the organists left !!!

The way this instrument works with the interface makes me so angry. It’s horrid to use.

Hi Leigh, I still have my SKX, it also is very difficult to navigate and drive. I bought it after hearing Keith Hortons beautiful demos on KZfaq. Can I get my SKX to sound like that, NO!Unfortunately Keith had passed away before I made my purchase and he has taken the sound with him. Even Organaut could not help me replicate these sounds. This organ is so un-user friendly it is now just an ornament in my studio.

The display thing is a common problem for really many keyboard and synths today, especially the more budget models. You can't really call these Hammonds "budget" class tho, but It's clearly a way of cutting the costs of the instruments and to Organ players a big 10" display is just in the way. They want hands on control of the drawbars and the basic B/C/A Hammond functions. For a 2 manual Organ I would have prefered to have some bigger Registrations buttons between the manuals and just the smaller programming buttons around the screen when it just have that small a screen. The Mojo61 doesn't even have a screen, but at least the instrument have a usable wifi dongle build in so if you need to edit the Organ settings you just connect an ipad or any other tablet with a browser which is a far better solution than a tiny display. If you want a quality touch screen like the Genos, thats a substantial ammount of the combined cost of the instrument. but in any advanced synth or keyboard like the Genos I really couldn't live without a touch screen anymore

One thing I would like to add: Leigh, you don't have to use the Favourites at all. Just use the 100 User Settings coming BEFORE the presets. So it starts with preset 1 and you have to turn left for the user sets. Even Tony doesn't use any "Favourites"-Buttons.

Sounds really authentic though. You’re the first I’ve heard demo it in the classic Hammond style and Wunderlich style. Massive improvement on the past models. Think I’m sticking with my DMC122/Gemini for my Hammond clone for now though.

WOW! That solo female voice is divine! I sooo wish that was on the Yamaha Genos2 as well ... Brilliant presentation yet again Leigh. I believe Yamaha has a SA2 Female Vocals Pack but nothing close to this voice. On another note, WOW! You're channel is crimping up of 10,000 subscribers which is brilliant.

It would be nice for Hammond to model some of its transistor-era organs too, think Aurora/Concorde. Can’t think why it includes the likes of Vox and Farfisa models but not later Hammonds. There’s a bit of purist snobbery around the tonewheel organ simulations. I had an SK2 for a while and it was very enjoyable but the ergonomics were also byzantine on that too.

Hi Leigh, the Sk pro is a vast improvement over the SK1, it’ll be interesting to compare the drawbar organ sounds on the Genos to the ones on the Sk pro

This is just wonderful happening up your vid... for years I thought I lived alone with my fond memories of KW -- nobody I know even knows the name.

Great video.

This is a really nice video! I bought a SKpro instantly when I saw the yellish keys and the green colour. Combined with the orange LEDs it is a beauty of a keyboard. I wasn't much interested in the organ sounds - they are fabulous but lack body and warmth - but in the additional sounds of this gem. There is so much quality in the chromatic percussion sounds. The SKpro is a sound designers dream: you can choose from all sounds for the ensemble part and the piano part. Each part has 4 full voices fully tweakable. So this makes 8 parts plus the solo synth plus the full organ!

This is my dream dedicated organ.

Wonderful I had one for a year its amazing can you share those settings

Organ is organ, all settings immediately available,however the keyboard has layering etc.i need all sounds available at the touch or turn of a switch /drawbar etc.

Could you set the monophonic synthesizer that it has the typical Solovox sound?

Try the Yamaha YC61 as a combination with the Genos(2) , in youre hands its sound and feels great and the drawbars are amizingly good 🎶🎶🎹🎹

Have you ever reviewed the Dexibell Combo J7, and if you have,how does it compare to the Hammond?

HAMMOND, PLEASE MAKE A SOFTWARE SO WE CAN EDIT IN PEACE!!
