Subject:Re: XK3C - 2nd Impressions

Well I have the XK-3 pro system (bought in early 2006) and the only real problem I have with it is the annoyingly fake and static keyclick. I don't think I will switch to a new clone before this is fixed. I do love the dynamic keyclick of the originals. I bought the VB3 software and the keyclick is fantastic, just done with MIDI velocity. So it IS possible to do that with single contact keys. The difference is extremely evident in two typical Hammond playing techniques: short percussive slaps and wipes/glissandi. The XK-3 has an annyoing sample re-trigger effect here. If they could improve on that, I'll be very happy.

I love the XK-3 interface with the inverted preset keys. If they would latch, it would be even more inspiring. The physical interface is very important for me. The more Hammond console - like, the better, otherwise I might seriously consider the new Italian products or the new Diversi organs, both of which seem to be better than the current Hammond clones judging from YouTube videos.
