I havnt been a fan of Hammond-Suzuki organs these last 15 years, but this is now in that category with Viscount, Crumar, and HX3, of transportable Clonewheels that are genuinely great sounding that wont leave you frustrated
I'm having some things pop up that I didn't anticipate, but if you would like to email me, I'll gladly send you photos of the exact settings I used. Godisopen@GM
Please do a split with the early career Jimmy Smith sound: 808 LH bass split and 888 RH with 3rd Perc, soft, fast, C3 chorus, and leslie sim on BRAKE. Thank you!
I finally just pulled the trigger on an XK4. There was a flash sale cutting $1200AUD off the price! I had to do it. Anyway, I'm feeling very reassured watching this video, these are some killer sounds you've made on this.
You will Notice. That’s the only part that matters. We play better when we love the gear we are using. The audience for the most part… unfortunately, couldn’t care less.
I don’t think any of them are worth the price except the XK-4. The SK-Pro is one of the worst and most disappointing boards I’ve ever owned. I couldn’t send it back fast enough. The XK-5 flagship is…let’s call it dead in the water. Hard to edit, and doesn’t sound as good as the XK-4.
Have you tried SKpro before XK4? I'm interested in a comparison. I don't believe there's much difference. After Hal Tsuchida's upgrades to my SKpro, the sound is great.
Yes I had an SK Pro for about 3 weeks and I hated it. Besides the decent mono synth, the rest of the voices were just… barely passable to me. I QUICKLY went back to my Stage 3 with a ventilator. The organ sound was good, but I had to really really mess with it to get it to sound close to the XK-4. The XK-5 is much easier to use and sound better to me. I don’t struggle with it.
What exactly are Hal Tsuchida's upgrades for the sk pro? I have the pro 73 and I like it but I am curious about how much of an improvement the organ engine on the xk4 is. It seems that opinions vary
What specifically did feel you had to do to make the sk pro's organ patches sound comparable to the xk4? My biggest complaint is that there isn't a dedicated drive knob on the single manual sk pros
@@creightonmoench6894 I just purchased the setup from Hal Tsuchida see link above. It is a setup of tone wheels, leslie, vibrato, key click etc. according to his original B3. I am satisfied with the sound.
The internal leslie Sim is amazing

I don't hear it...
why haven't you been a fan? Too digital sounding?
Excellent demo...love the sound!
Thanks a lot!
I’m definitely looking forward to ordering one soon in Mississippi music in Flowood, Ms
Hey Ben! Great demo! In your next video could you demonstrate how you adjusted the sound for the overall brightness? Great playing! Rock on!
Will do!

@@benallen5967 Hi Ben, I'm having similar issues with brightness. I'll also email you for the settings.
@@keyjamman8376 making sure you got what you needed. All good now?
Soulfully played. Wonderfully performed, Ben Allen.

Really nice playing. Cool demo. Thank you.

Reach out if you’d like my personal settings. It does NOT sound like this out of the box. Godisopen@gmail
I’m planning on ordering hammmond xk4 soon
@@JuliusParker-v6q enjoy!
Thanks, great chops!
Thats sounds amazing! 😎👍
It does!
Thanks!
And how can on acquire such programming for selfish personal use? 😎
@@russthompson7994if you own an XK4, I can send you the sound- reach out via email. Godisopen@gmail
Hi Ben Leslie and over drive . Sometime I think Leslie horn on fast speed sounds too fast. Your interpretation sounds very good
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Could you photograph and share you leslie screen settings ( the leslie menu pages for you amazing custom leslie)?
No. But I will email them to you. Reach out to Godisopen@gmail.com
Sounds great. But does this really move onmuch from the XK3c? Would anyone in the audience notice?
You will
Notice. That’s the only part that matters. We play better when we love the gear we are using. The audience for the most part… unfortunately, couldn’t care less.
Neat. Does it have good sounds for classical music as well and not just butt rock?
It has some pipe organs on it that are respectable
Ben, are you able to share any insights on the XK-4 vs. XK-5 or SK Pro (B3)
I don’t think any of them are worth the price except the XK-4. The SK-Pro is one of the worst and most disappointing boards I’ve ever owned. I couldn’t send it back fast enough. The XK-5 flagship is…let’s call it dead in the water. Hard to edit, and doesn’t sound as good as the XK-4.

Is this board able to trigger the Leslie sim with a foot pedal?
Yes.
@@benallen5967 Thx 😊
nice playing, way too digital for me
