Subject:RE: Roland VK-88 - Concensus

I sold my XK3 and bought an XK1 (also owned CX3 analog and digital). The XK1 action is heavier, akin to the XK2 action (which I actually loved). The XK3 action was a little light, but I never minded it.

XK1 sim is better than my XK3 leslie sim. I'd go Xk1.

No....No... CX3 still holds it's own, best gigging
keyboard due to spot on Leslie sim. Also, keyboard
action is spot on. Sounds great out of the box, even
without a Speakeasy preamp.

XK3 - fat tone, tonewheel versatility. Bad keyboard
action and Leslie sim. Heavy to gig with. Gotta have a
leslie for it to make it really sing.

XK1'ers out there what do you have to say?
